Dunlap, IL - Accepting clients in IL

Hello and welcome! I am Kerry Heinz, a licensed clinical professional counselor with 18 years of experience working with children, teens, and their families. If you are a parent, Let's just take a minute to acknowledge your decision to reach out. Parenting is no easy task. I began working in this field before having children of my own. Now, I see how blessed I was to have learned about child development and behavior strategies before raising children. I choose to share what I know to build parent confidence as you navigate through common developmental challenges and sometimes more significant mental health problems. We achieve this together through Parent training in behavior management, typically with your child present. Also, through one on one sessions with your child to help your child understand feelings, solve problems and build skills needed to improve behavior and relationships outside of sessions. Certain methods of counseling therapy have been proven to help with various problems. We will work together to identify your most pressing concerns and the therapeutic interventions that will be best in treating them. I look forward to meeting you and your family. If you are a teenager reaching out. Take a minute to acknowledge your decision to reach out instead of isolating or holding in the things that are on your mind. It's a great first step in improving your mental health! I look forward to meeting you at our first session to learn more about you. If you're reluctant especially if you think your parent wants you in counseling more than you actually want to be there please know many have been where you are and have found counseling therapy to be a supportive place that has actually helped. What it will be for you remains to be seen.

Fort Lauderdale, IL - Accepting clients in IL

My name is Shavone Marie Williams-Moss, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I entered the field of social work largely because of my family background; I was raised by a single father while my mother struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues and could not perform her role as a parent. One day as an adult in my 20's, I saw my mother sitting on a bench on the main street in Kentucky. I welcomed her into my home only to discover she not only suffered from homelessness but bipolar disorder, major depression, and substance abuse. My mother lived with me for a year, after which she passed away. This situation made me wonder, what if, in her younger years, she would have met someone who was supportive, understanding, kind, selfless, and invested in helping her be the best version of her, she could be. It was then that I decided to enter the Social Work Field. I wanted to provide help to those who could not help themselves and aid to those in need.

Hi, I’m Aneka Spencer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving clients in Illinois. If you’re looking for a compassionate therapist who truly listens, offers honest insight, and walks alongside you in creating meaningful change—you’re in the right place. I work with adults who want to reduce negative thinking, improve self-esteem, and feel more emotionally balanced. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions—or simply need a safe, supportive space to process what they’re going through. As a Black woman, first-generation college graduate, and Gen Xer, I understand the unique pressures of managing multiple roles within family, work, and community. These lived experiences shape the empathy, insight, and cultural responsiveness I bring to my work. While many of my clients are drawn to therapy with someone who understands the impact of identity and social context, I welcome clients of all backgrounds who are looking for a therapist who listens with care and supports their growth with intention. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from a range of approaches—including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques—blending them to fit your specific needs and goals. With over 10 years of experience as a social worker and 4 years as a therapist, I’ve supported individuals and families in schools, home health care, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). This diverse background allows me to meet clients where they are, with both compassion and practical tools to help them move forward. I offer free minute consultations because I believe that the therapist-client connection is essential for effective work. We can schedule a 15-20 minute video call via Google Meet. I’d love the chance to connect and give you a sense of who I am before we begin. Let’s talk—your healing journey deserves the right support!

If appropriate, I can help you with traumatic experiences by providing EMDR and "parts" work. Give yourself the gift of therapy. Explore new ways of seeing things, new ways to manage emotions, new ways of communicating with others, and new ways to care for yourself.

Why Choose Me: I want you to read the following passages: On Abuse: “I lived in a glass house into which my mother could look at any time. In a glass house, however, you cannot conceal anything without giving yourself away, except by hiding it under the ground. And then you cannot see it yourself, either.” On Depression: “Trees aren’t supposed to display fruit; they’re supposed to produce it. As much as I wanted to see results, I knew that I had to wait. The tree had to become healthy and mature before it could produce the fruit, and that takes time.” If what you read resonates with you, this is the type of therapy I offer. I push, and sometimes might make you cry—not to harm, but for growth. I deeply care about my patients and only want the best for you. I am not judgmental; I am here to listen and provide feedback. I often ask myself the question: if I were sitting where you are, would I come back? And the answer is yes. I give homework, so don’t expect it to be easy unless we need it to be. I am flexible, and my schedule is pretty open to fit your needs. We’re going to have days where we just catch up and talk about what happened that week but be prepared to talk about your past. I believe together we can grow into the person you want to be.

Hi I'm Regina Do you know that everyone feels overwhelmed; especially now. Balancing family, work demands, and life is challenging. Everyone experiences these things differently and may need some reminding of their own strengths. I am a highly trained therapist with many years of experience helping clients realize their own potential. My approach is filtered through a culturally rich and ethnically diverse lens. I'm gentle, empathic and meet my clients where they are at. Building upon past coping mechanisms will enable you to develop and find more effective ways of managing life stressors. Look, I get that everyone has some level of depression and anxiety. There are many interventions we can use from the traditional methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused to the latest smart phone apps. I recognize that it will be hard work! But, through your hard work will be where true success comes.

As a Latina and Jewish therapist, I see the need for therapists who can identify with intersectional identities. I work with people who are dealing with issues around their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity. I support our clients in processing how being you in our society affects how you feel about yourself and ultimately your mental health. I want our clients to learn to appreciate the unique gifts that they bring as they process past experiences.

Hanna City, IL - Accepting clients in IL

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.
