Life Transitions
Hi, I’m Mel B! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Aurora University—and for the past 10 years, I’ve been helping young adults in their 20s quiet the anxiety spiral, build confidence, and start feeling in control of their lives. I specialize in supporting motivated, insightful young adults who are ready to: Navigate big life transitions like college, first jobs, or moving out on your own—without feeling like you’re drowning in “what ifs.” Enter (or re-enter!) the dating world with more confidence and less overthinking. Create a self-care routine that actually feels good—not like another chore on your to-do list. My approach is warm, conversational, and real. I believe therapy should feel like a mix of a safe space and a strategy session—with a few laughs along the way. I use practical tools, mindset shifts, and humor to help you feel understood and supported, while also giving you actionable steps you can actually use outside of sessions. And because therapy is also about connection, here’s a little about me: I’m a wife, a cat mom to three fur babies, and a proud Swiftie. I’m an iced coffee lover, love getting lost in young adult romance books, and am always planning my next trip. Big dreams and goal-setting? Totally my thing. If you’ve been looking for a therapist who truly gets what it’s like to be in your 20s, who will listen without judgment, and who can help you feel more confident navigating life’s transitions—I’d love to connect. Let’s work together to help you feel less anxious, more grounded, and fully ready to take on what’s next.

I hold a dual degree as a Registered Art Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I work with clients not only to verbally express themselves but also creatively. I believe in meeting each client where they are at, and using the most effective treatment modality in order to help you achieve your personal goals for treatment. Art therapy is a great therapeutic tool to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. No previous experience in art is necessary. I do not interpret art but ask you questions to reflect on the images. I also work with clients using response art in treatment in order to achieve self-reflection and awareness. With 12 years of experience, I also provide talk therapy if you are not interested in art therapy. I specialize in helping people with life adjustments/transitions, work-life balance, and self-esteem/self-awareness work. If you are interested in creating a happier and healthier life for yourself I am available and accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and working with you! Please note that on the calendar to schedule with me there may be limited time and day availability or times you feel may not work for you. Upon scheduling, I am open to flexible scheduling with clients and we can adjust to other days or time frames after the initial scheduling occurs for future sessions.

Currently I am only accepting new clients who are trans. I am a trans and queer Licensed Clinical Social Worker and artist with 15 years of experience in community mental health. My approach is that all people deserve to have the opportunity to experience a safe, kind, and welcoming space to explore their mental health, and that as a therapist, it is my job to nurture that. I am driven to create therapeutic opportunities for people who want and need them within the LGBTQ2IA+ community. I am open to working with clients that find themselves in need of an understanding, compassionate, and community-oriented therapist who will help to guide them through healing work. My areas of focus are: LGBTQ2IA+ and TGNC youth and emerging adults, major life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, gender dysphoria, and sexual identity exploration. I completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Arts in Gender Studies (MA) degrees concurrently at Loyola University Chicago. Before entering graduate school, I worked in multiple positions focused on reproductive justice, body autonomy, and community care. My life and professional experiences have led me to provide therapy with a focus on community care through an anti oppressive lense. I understand that helping one person can have a positive impact on the greater community surrounding them. I believe that treatment approaches should fit the individual's needs and thus I utilize many modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, somatics, and narrative therapy. My approaches of curiosity and kindness create a welcoming space to engage in therapy. Choosing to work with a therapist is a powerful way to help yourself and we all deserve a chance to have focused time to explore, learn, and grow through challenges.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Illinois rather than a city like Chicago?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Illinois from Rockford to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Illinois.

Will my therapist take Oxford?

Yes! If you use Oxford you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Oxford you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
