Hi, I am Jenn, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Certified Telemental Health Provider, and the owner of Epijennetics Counseling and Consulting in Libertyville, Illinois. Epijennetics Counseling is located just outside of downtown Libertyville off of Milwaukee Avenue in Forum Square. 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.)

Hello! I'm Michelle. As a dedicated mental health therapist, I am committed to guiding individuals on their journey towards well-being with a strong emphasis on self-care and intention. My goal is to get my clients started with building awareness of the patterns and behaviors causing distress, setting out to build strategies into seeing the “bigger picture”, and then making the choice to shift away into "new and different". I believe that the mental health journey can feel different for everyone and is valid for all. It’s addressing the pile-on effects of everyday stress and learning how to breathe through anxiety and panic attacks. It’s establishing and keeping a daily routine as part of ADHD symptom management and finding self-compassion when experiencing depressive thoughts. There is no perfect or prescriptive way to approach the process of mental well-being. My role as a therapist is to support, facilitate, and provide collaborative space to examine all the pieces.

I provide a safe and accepting space where you can be open and honest with the difficulties you are experiencing in your life. Prior to returning to school for a counseling degree, I worked in the corporate and nonprofit sectors for many years as an editor and writer and I bring that unique perspective and experience to my work with clients. My multicultural background is also an asset in working with diverse populations. I utilize a strengths-based approach when working with clients while creating a safe and accepting space where you can be open and honest with the difficulties you are experiencing in your life. Because I view therapy as a collaborative process, I will be checking in with you throughout our time together to review your initial goals for therapy and to ensure that you continue to feel heard and understood in therapy. It takes courage to seek out counseling. If you are ready take that step, I am here to support, encourage and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Hello there! My name is Carrie and I’m an LCPC from the state of Illinois. I’ve been working with kids and families for over 17 years. Kids love me because I’m weird, I don’t take life too seriously and I love to have fun! Parents love me because I’m real, I’m supportive and I understand that life happens sometimes. I believe that kids are pretty much perfect but the world gets in the way sometimes. I’m good at helping bring back the balance. I’d love to help if I can!

Life can be challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. If you feel lost and unsure of your life's direction, are struggling with strained relationships, or find yourself overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, know that you are not alone. Many people share these feelings, and seeking guidance is a courageous first step toward change. Children, adolescents, and adults alike can feel discouraged, unmotivated, and frustrated by life's demands. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals across all life stages to address these challenges. For children, I help develop social skills, identify and manage emotions, and teach problem-solving strategies for everyday situations. For adolescents, I assist in exploring life choices such as, peer and parent relationships, identity, attend or not attending college, and managing complex emotions. For adults, I provide support in finding purpose, building self-care routines, and navigating life's transitions. Together, we'll identify your current concerns and explore how your past experiences may be shaping your present. By uncovering your strengths, we'll create practical strategies to help you move forward. We'll set meaningful goals and work collaboratively to achieve them in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Take the first step toward clarity and balance.

As you embark on your journey, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore, understand and challenge life experiences that shape our identities and perceptions of the world. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of experience providing therapy and other clinical services to individuals struggling with severe mental illness and addiction, I approach therapy from a holistic and multicultural perspective. As a Mexican and Filipino American woman, I draw on my personal experiences to better understand how cultural factors influence our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. My goal is to build a respectful and collaborative partnership with my clients to support them on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. I firmly believe in addressing presenting issues by understanding the whole person, rather than just focusing on the problem. Using a strengths-based approach, along with evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches, I work with my clients to identify thought patterns, regulate emotions, and build self-awareness to foster healing and self-compassion. I earned my Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in Mental Health from the Jane Addams College of Social Work, and have worked in a variety of settings, including residential care for addiction, outpatient addiction treatment facilities, and community mental health care. My diverse experiences and training have enabled me to build a creative work space that centers the person as a whole, providing a healing space where individuals can feel heard, honored, and understood.

If you have seen the movie “Groundhog day” starring Bill Murry as Phil, you would say it is a comedy. But it is more. He finally breaks out of his dull, repetitive life not by changing his surroundings or anyone else; he changes himself. Just like Phil, if you don’t change something, nothing will change. That is the purpose of counseling: to help you try something different, to change something about yourself, to help you become the best YOU. Whether you are in a tough spot or just have issues you want to address, getting an outside viewpoint can help. I am a licensed clinical counselor and a licensed marriage and family counselor. I have 30+ years of experience and have helped clients with: • Addictions • Mental illnesses • Depression • Trauma and abuse recovery • Anger management and more If I can’t help, I will connect you with someone who can. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be looking for and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share. I currently have daytime openings on Wednesdays for video or online appointments. I would like to help you on your journey. Starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, and scary all at the same time. Congratulations on taking the first step by reading this. More details about me are below.

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.

I provide collaborative telehealth counseling for male individuals and couples whose lives have been shaken by grief, relationship struggles, and shattered dreams. The unresolved pain and fear that come from just doin’ life often fuel behaviors that damage relationships—and can make life feel like a “cardboard dirt sandwich with a side of sawdust.” Using Narrative Therapy, I help clients separate themselves—and their loved ones—from the problems they face. We externalize the issues rather than internalize them. You are not the problem. Other people are not the problem. Problems are the problem. Your challenges don’t define you, but the way you interpret, address, and live with them profoundly shapes your identity, self-worth, emotional well-being, and behavior. I also draw from Existential, Rational-Emotive Behavioral, Client-Centered, and Gestalt Therapy approaches to empower you to become the expert on you. Together, we’ll reconnect with your values, dreams, skills, and desires—and design a life that reflects who you truly are and what you truly want.

My name is Sabrina Turner. I trained at Bradley University and have 12 years of clinical experience. I focus on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD. Throughout my career I have worked with clients of all ages. I primarily use person centered techniques, but I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness depending on the client. In addition, integrative approaches are helpful to most people, which means we look at your overall nutritional and physical well being in conjunction with your mental health. Asking for help is never easy, but connection and relationships help us lead our best lives. My goal is to help you build healthier coping skills for yourself. What that looks like is different for everyone, but I want to help you find your own unique path. During our first session I will ask you to share some background information with me. It can be difficult to share, so please know that my number one goal is to give you a safe, nonjudgemental space to open up. In subsequent sessions we will dive deeper into your reasons for seeking therapy. We will explore techniques that are already working for you and add in new skills along the way. If you are looking for a clinician to walk alongside you while you discover yourself and how to be your best version, we will likely be a good fit!

I want to meet a client where they are at, therefore where one wants to start. I am genuine and authentic and want to assist someone to get the help and resources they may need to be and feel better as a person overall. I enjoy teaching skills and am constantly learning new skills and techniques to be a better therapist. I also may push at times in order to assist one to explore further what it is they are experiencing.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from various backgrounds and those struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), trauma, stress management, and grief & loss.

I am trained in Somatic Experiencing & EMDR (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing). I trust in the mind-body-spirit connection and have the utmost regard for the intrinsic ability everyone possesses to grow and create lasting change in our lives. It is truly an honor to have the privilege of witnessing the strength, vulnerability, and courage embedded within each individual's personal journey.
