Being an adult can sometimes feel like you're on a roller coaster ride! Life isn't linear - it involves twists, turns, ups, and downs. We might feel "stuck" on the ride and aren't quite sure how to navigate getting off of it. Or we may find our “downs” might make us feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck. The "ups" might be exciting, but may also come with their own sets of stressors. We might want to get off the ride or take a gentler one, but not know how. And that's okay! Therapy can help. Life doesn't have to feel like you're going on a thrill ride every day - you can get on a gentler ride. Of course, we don't always know how to get off the ride or swap seats for a gentler ride (like the "kiddie roller coaster"). That's where I come in! I'm here to support you with the challenges you might be facing in life, offer you a space to reflect or process, plus find new ways to cope so you don't feel like you're on a thrill ride every day.

Hello, my name is Chelsea, and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois. I graduated in 2019 from Clarke University with my Master's of Social Work. I spent my undergraduate years shadowing and volunteering at a sexual assault and domestic violence advocacy center. I completed research in the areas of trauma, decision making, and intimate relationships. I completed a job shadow with a Victim Witness Coordinator, where I also conducted a year long research project on domestic violence in rural communities. During that time I completed an internship at a combined homeless shelter and food pantry. I then completed a secondary internship at a local community mental health center. I spent four years working at that same local community mental health center where I provided crisis services, individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. I was able to earn my license during that time. I transitioned into school based social work and provided case management and therapy services in the local school setting. I now have opened a private practice called Resiliency Counseling, which is an individualized practice focused on providing individual, couples, and family therapy services to help people who are wanting to improve their mental health in a safe, accepting, and trusting environment.

Hi, my name is Neelma Zafar. The stigma in many cultures around mental health can be debilitating. I believe that no matter what background you are coming from, your mental and emotional health should be made as much of a priority as your physical health. Taking the first step and asking for help can be intimidating, but I meet my clients where they are and get to know them and their strengths. My approach is trauma-focused and evidence-based therapy and I believe in empowering my clients. I am trained in EMDR, DBT and CBT. Currently, I am working with sexually abused and sexually problematic children. I do family therapy sessions. I immigrated from Pakistan and I know personally what "trauma" is. I volunteered with refugees and worked with them on their mental health issues. I know Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi languages. I volunteer at the food pantry and daily bread soup kitchen and strongly believe in giving back to the community. I am hear to listen to my clients in a judgement-free zone in order to help them grow as a person and move past trauma.

We all have dealt with varying levels of stress and anxiety before. It becomes an ongoing issue when we don’t address the thoughts and feelings that arise as physical symptoms slowly begin to take over. My role in this process is to assist in delving into where these thoughts began and how to move forward in future situations. Need to talk about trauma or issues with depression? Having problems in your social relationships that you’re struggling with? Feel like you’re drowning because of all the recent changes in your life? Let’s tackle this together and discover ways to overcome negative associations from the past. I help adults struggling with symptoms of anxiety, dealing with different life transitions and managing self esteem issues. I also assist with depressive symptoms, have a trauma focused background and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I primarily use the tools of compassion, psychoeducation, mindfulness, and problem solving to offer new perspectives in dealing with instances of intergenerational trauma. In many cases, certain aspects unknowingly get repeated between parents and their children. This can be addressed through discussing your own understanding as well as opting to make changes for your future. Aside from family trauma repetitions, dealing with all the recent changes in the world can also be a source of stress and anxiety. When we meet, we’ll dive into all these stressors and establish a plan for self-care that will assist in turning all these negative thoughts and feelings into a pure sense of optimism.
