Who I Am
Hi, I’m a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience—and I still wake up every day passionate about helping people heal and grow. Therapy, to me, is about more than problem-solving; it’s about reconnecting with yourself, rediscovering your strengths, and creating lasting change.
I bring empathy, authenticity, and a laid-back, nonjudgmental vibe to my work. My approach blends evidence-based practices like CBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness with a deep respect for each client’s unique journey. I also bring the perspective of someone who’s walked through the trenches of life—childhood abuse, trauma, tragedy, and the challenges that come with being human. Those experiences don’t define me, but they do shape the way I connect—with honesty, compassion, and a real understanding of what it means to struggle and to heal.
At the heart of my practice is creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure, no judgment. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, tap into your resilience, and build tools to move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.
Helping people heal isn’t just my profession—it’s my calling, and it’s an honor to walk alongside others on their journey.

I am a licensed clinical therapist and life coach with extensive experience helping individuals create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My work is focused on supporting people who are high-functioning yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or uncertain about their next steps. Many of the clients I work with are successful on the outside but internally struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, burnout, or difficulty following through on the changes they know they need to make.
I bring a results-oriented, structured, and insight-driven approach to my work. As a clinician, I am trained to assess emotional patterns, behavioral responses, and underlying drivers that keep people stuck. As a life coach, I help clients move forward with clarity, accountability, and intention. This dual lens allows me to meet clients where they are emotionally while also helping them create practical, forward-moving change in their daily lives.
Clients often seek me out for my ability to quickly identify core issues, provide direct and thoughtful feedback, and help them gain perspective without judgment. I am known for balancing compassion with honesty and for helping clients feel both supported and challenged in ways that lead to real progress. My style is collaborative, grounded, and focused on building sustainable tools rather than temporary relief.
I work with individuals who are ready to be intentional about their growth and committed to showing up for the process. Whether clients are navigating personal transitions, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, or a desire for greater fulfillment and direction, my goal is to help them feel more confident, grounded, and capable of creating the life they want to live.

Hello-My name is Nick!
I am enthusiastic about my work as a counselor and passionate about helping my clients at all stages of their journey. Effective counseling is about learning through engagement; I actively create a supportive space, offering practical tools to help you increase self-awareness, deepen your understanding of your life, strengths, and hurdles, and collaborate with you to achieve your desired change.
I also thoroughly enjoy working with couples in all seasons looking to deepen their connection.

My goal isn't to tell you what to do—it's to help you better understand yourself, make choices that align with your values, and move toward lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

Life can be overwhelming, messy, and genuinely hard sometimes—and that’s completely okay. However, that doesn't mean it has to remain that way. For nearly a decade, I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles, helping them feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives.
While working together, we’ll slow things down to truly understand what you’re going through, explore what matters most to you, and discover practical, realistic ways to move forward. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but to work with you by listening, offering options, and supporting you as you work through challenges and build a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and true to who you are.
I bring warmth, compassion, and even some humor into the process, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Greetings,
It has always been my desire to serve and bring out the best in people. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts, my commitment to this work is both personal and professional. Growing up with two parents who struggled with addiction, I experienced anxiety and depression at an early age and made a conscious choice not to become a product of my environment. Instead, I chose a different path , one rooted in healing, understanding and helping others find their way through difficult chapters of their own lives.
My lifelong interest in human behavior and emotional functioning led me into this field, where I strive to help clients gain clarity, develop meaningful coping skills, and move toward their desired goals. I work best with individuals who are ready to roll up their sleeves and actively participate in their healing process. You’ve already taken a courageous first step by reaching out; now let’s explore whether we are a good fit, as it would be an honor to collaborate with you.
I value transparency, authenticity, and a strong therapeutic connection. You are the expert in your lived experience; my role is to support, guide, and walk alongside you as you move toward growth, balance, and emotional well-being.

With a trauma-informed lens and deep compassion for the full human experience, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly heard. My practice is rooted in approaches like CBT, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and strengths-based care. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one where you get to reclaim your story, build on your existing strengths, and move toward the version of yourself you’re becoming.
As someone who has worked across hospice, schools, behavioral health, and family systems, I know that healing looks different for everyone. My goal is to walk alongside you—faithfully and thoughtfully—as you find clarity, stability, and hope in your journey.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Megan Allegretti, and I am so proud of you for considering the incredibly difficult step of seeking mental health therapy. In an effort to make this process feel less intimidating, here are some things about me, to see if my approach is a solid fit for you.
My approach works with the intention to aid in healing from the distress in your mental and emotional world. Often we create various behavioral patterns in life, that worked at some point, but now you notice them becoming maladaptive. We will look at becoming more internally aware of systems that are not cutting it anymore for you, why those patterns evolved in the first place. With this understanding it can aid in identifying the function of behaviors, and better aid with implementing new skills in its place.
My goal for treatment is to come with you along your journey, so you will not have to feel alone. I will also provide skills, education, processing, and perspectives you might not be able to see from your angle.
If this feels like a good fit for you, please reach out to set up an intake together.

After more than 25 years in behavioral health and human services, I continue to be inspired by partnering with adults as they navigate life’s transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have experience in acute and forensic psychiatry, behavioral health quality improvement, veteran services, and community-based care.
My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and the belief that meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, or a significant life transition, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I recognize that healing doesn’t always fit neatly into a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. I intentionally offer morning and evening telehealth appointments to support adults with a variety of work schedules, including overnight shift workers seeking support during daytime hours and professionals who prefer evening appointments after the workday. I believe therapy should fit into your life—not require you to rearrange your life to receive support.
I provide outpatient psychotherapy for adults and work collaboratively with clients who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process. While I provide outpatient psychotherapy, I do not provide crisis stabilization or intensive outpatient services.

I also believe in the power of laughter to ease even the heaviest conversations. Humor can open doors to deeper insight, so I use it thoughtfully and often!
In our sessions, I aim to normalize and validate your experiences, no matter where you’re coming from, without judgment. My goal is to help you tap into your unique strengths and work through whatever might be holding you back. Therapy is a powerful tool, and I’ve witnessed its transformative impact on my clients’ lives, as well as in my own. I’ve leaned on therapy through my nearly 10 years in the field and through personal challenges, including loss and the experience of caretaking for a terminal illness.
If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma-related struggles, I’d love the chance to work with you. I’m passionate about supporting women ages 20+ who are finding their footing in the world, going through life transitions (divorce, career changes, becoming a parent, etc.), though I work with people of all ages and backgrounds. Many of my clients struggle with relationship problems, histories of childhood traumatic experiences, abuse, or self-worth issues. I’m here to meet you wherever you’re at. My aim is to help you create a present that feels free from the shadows of past experiences, with a future that’s built on self-acceptance, resilience, and, of course, a little bit of laughter.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking an important step towards prioritizing your well-being.
Navigating the mental health system can be a confusing and difficult process, but you are here and that is already progress. I would like to make that process less daunting and assist you in reaching your desired quality of life.
I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for us to process painful past experiences as well as current difficulties. I will provide you with and help you practice a variety of techniques that will empower you to push past your discomfort (and/or trauma) to live the fulfilling lifestyle you are searching for. While addressing your symptoms, we will also explore and expand your personal strengths in order to improve your self-esteem and boost your confidence. Creating a strong foundation of trust in yourself to handle difficult situations is one of the most powerful tools to manage and prevent depression and anxiety-related symptoms.
Therapy does not have to be boring or stressful. Together we can explore different creative approaches such as art, mindfulness, games, hands-on activities/worksheets, videos, and books to enhance your experience in ways that feel most meaningful and helpful to you.

As a parent, I have a special interest in working with parents — including parents navigating substance use issues, co-parenting stress, difficult family dynamics, or communication challenges within the family system. Whether you are feeling burnt out, disconnected, or stuck in recurring conflict, therapy can help you develop healthier coping strategies, improve relationships, and feel more grounded. My approach is supportive, client-centered, and culturally sensitive, helping you develop practical skills to help you move forward with confidence. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), my mission is to guide individuals on a journey back to their innate wisdom, compassion, peace, and confidence. I often think of the story of Michelangelo, who described sculpting as the act of chipping away marble to reveal the beauty already within. This metaphor beautifully captures the counseling process: together, we identify and remove the barriers obscuring your true SELF, allowing your inner brilliance to shine through.
My approach is rooted in deep compassion for the human experience. I bring to our work a blend of trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices, enriched by certifications in Mind-Body Bridging, Cognitively-Based Compassion Training, and Cultivating Emotional Balance. I draw from powerful therapeutic frameworks, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Compassionate Inquiry, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs.

“Life is what happens after we make plans”. I believe life has a way of bringing us to feelings of
loneliness, hopelessness, or can become overwhelming causing change at a rapid rate. When
these difficulties occur they can lead to depression, anxiety or feeling as though you can not
move forward. At times like these it can be helpful to address theses with someone who will
help you to begin to move forward again. Therapy is a solution to life’s plans that were not a part
of the ones you laid out for yourself. Therapy can get you back moving forward.
I am here to get you on that track. I have been in the field of mental health for over seven years.
I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social work from Loyola University in 2013. I am a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois specializing in treating those struggling with
depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, behavioral issues, and couples counseling. I come
from a strengths based perspective. I am driven by the call placed on my life by God for this
work. As a faith based counselor I work with my clients to gain the strength within them to move
forward. I believe that everyone has an innate ability to move past life’s issues. Together we will
work on strategies that will allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build
meaningful social connections.
Using an eclectic approach through psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, attachment,
mindfulness and other evidence-based approaches, we will develop more strength in you to get
back to a healthier mental focus. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach. Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy.

Hi, I am Jenn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the owner of Epijennetics Counseling and Consulting in Libertyville, Illinois.. You can read more about my work and practice at www.epijennetics.com. As a therapist, I hold the belief that we cannot fully understand mental health without first understanding the impact of our stories, our relationships, and our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. I am passionate about helping clients increase their self-awareness of these things so that they are more in touch with their feelings, needs, and desires, and are more equipped with the knowledge and tools to create the life that they want. By utilizing assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to better understand personality and the Young Schema Assessment to explore harmful thoughts and beliefs that came from previous experiences and messages received during childhood years, I help clients discover hidden obstacles that keep them from having the life they dream of. I have found that when we put in the work to make sense of ourselves and our stories, we not only heal and grow ourselves but also develop more compassion and increased understanding of others. Often this growth and healing process lessens mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression and improves overall quality of life, as well as relationship quality. If you are interested in doing some exploring, I would love to hear from you! (Please make an in-office appointment if you are booking Couple or Family therapy sessions.)

Do you feel stuck in a pattern that is negatively impacting your overall wellness?
Just as important as the "why" is the "what" aspect of the mind. What we think, what we feel and what we believe are all intertwined with our behavior. Exploring the thoughts and beliefs that underpin certain actions can lead to profound self-awareness and personal growth. In my interactions with clients, I have witnessed the transformative power of uncovering and challenging deep-seated beliefs that no longer serve them.
While patterns and commonalities may emerge among individuals, it is crucial to remember that each person's mind is a unique landscape. What works for one may not work for another, and it is my duty as a clinician to adapt the plan of care accordingly. As a therapist and health coach, I incorporate a holistic (mind/body) approach.

Therapy can be intimidating to many people. I don't believe in having a "diagnosis" in order to justify therapy... there are benefits to even the most mentally strong. Much like cars need a tune up, people need to often make mental health a priority! Whether it be a major life change, difficulty in relationships, or feeling like something is missing... I am here to listen, help, and support you through your journey. With experience in helping small children to the young at heart, I tailor my work to meet each client's individual needs. I look forward to working with you!
Thank you for sharing your life with me.:)

Do you find yourself feeling irritable or moody? Do you feel overwhelmed with daily expectations and responsibilities? These feelings can be a sign of depression and/or anxiety. I can help you through these difficult emotions. Together we can help you gain self-confidence and improve your life. Often it is difficult to know where to start. I teach strategies to help manage your symptoms. I have experience helping clients build and maintain relationships, with those struggling to find purpose or meaning in their life, with grief, and trauma. Additionally, if you are struggling with infertility, miscarriage or loss, or postpartum depression this is my niche.
I have over 20 years of experience with child welfare, healthcare, maternal child health, postpartum, antepartum, neonatal, addiction medicine, and school/behavioral issues.
My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space with use of respect, compassion, empathy, hope, and a bit of humor.

I’m Timberly. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you want to be? I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, creating space for you to better understand your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapy with me is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw from approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, strengths-based therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, managing difficult emotions, or feeling like you’re simply surviving, we’ll work together to identify patterns, build practical tools, and develop a deeper sense of clarity and self-trust.
I see therapy as a partnership. I’ll walk alongside you with curiosity, thoughtful insight, and a nonjudgmental presence as you make sense of your story, heal from painful experiences, and begin creating a life that feels more intentional. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-trust, balance, and a life that feels true to you.

My name is Miranda, and I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who works with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can take a breath, be yourself, and feel genuinely heard—not another place where you have to have everything figured out. I take a strengths-based, person-centered approach and create a supportive, collaborative space where we can work together toward meaningful change. I believe therapy can be both productive and approachable, with room for a little lightheartedness along the way.
I believe self-care looks different for everyone, and I try to make space for the things that bring me joy, connection, and balance. I bring that same perspective into my work with clients. Finding small, meaningful ways to care for yourself can make a big difference, especially during stressful or transitional seasons of life. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected while developing practical tools that fit your everyday life.

Hello there!
Do you ever feel as though your life is a million-piece puzzle? Or feel as though your family or partner does not understand you. Life can be complicated; however, your mind does not constantly have to be.
My diverse experience has allowed me to gain expertise in helping individuals (18 years+) in various settings, navigate through relational struggles, traumas, betrayals, anxieties, miscommunications, setbacks, self-discoveries, transitions, or misunderstandings. Together, we can identify what is not working and learn ways to communicate it in order to create change.
I learned the importance of culture competency through my academic training at Adler University.
It is important to understand how the dimensions of culture, race, gender, ethnicity, age, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, and language may affect the function of your relational systems.
I come to you, gently, soft & warm. I have a strong sense of being mindful and allowing you to be in the moment. I can gently challenge you when need be or pep you up. Ultimately, I will meet you raw & unfiltered and embrace every part of it.
You deserve a safe space to explore all parts of the self.
Let’s connect and start piecing together the puzzle.
**With every darkness, there is a light**

As a child, I always wanted to pursue a career where I could assist with an individual’s growth, creativity and happiness. I learned at a young age the struggles that life can bring, not only through the inevitable, but also through situational traumas that we at times have to face and endure. Being an active member in the clinical field of helping professionals, I have certainly learned the importance of patience, empathy and peace. Identifying and securing ones’ purpose in life, creates the true masterpiece of one’s story. My goal is to assist you in your journey to self-actualization.

You Don’t Have to Keep Holding It All Together.
I’m Sarah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Air Force veteran. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck find their way back to themselves.
Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on. You manage work, family, and relationships while quietly struggling inside. Perhaps your mind won’t shut off, past experiences still affect you, or you’re feeling burned out, disconnected, or unlike yourself.
**You deserve support, too. You don’t have to navigate everything alone.**
I provide warm, practical therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, burnout, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women and veterans who are used to putting everyone else first and are ready to prioritize their own well-being.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on real-life change. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, and mindfulness, I help clients manage overwhelming emotions, build confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and develop practical coping skills.
Therapy with me is a space where you can feel heard without judgment, explore what’s weighing on you, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
**You don’t have to wait until you reach your breaking point to ask for help.**
You don’t need to have all the answers or know where to begin. We can figure that out together.
**Ready to start feeling more like yourself again? Book your first session today.** I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
