Hello, my name is Tekoa. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in Addiction Therapy, I address the multifaceted challenges that often accompany substance use. If drugs or alcohol have negatively impacted your life, affecting your stability, family relationships, or career, and you feel trapped in a cycle of desperation, I offer a supportive path forward. I am committed to understanding your aspirations for sobriety, recovery, and overall well-being. Together, we will navigate the complexities of this journey in a safe and collaborative space, addressing underlying issues such as low self-worth, shame, guilt, unforgiveness, denial, dishonesty, pain, and loss. My therapeutic approach is direct and solution-focused. We will collaboratively explore the factors contributing to your current situation and develop a clear plan for positive change. While acknowledging the impact of external circumstances, I emphasize personal responsibility for life choices and the capacity for self-directed change. You possess the strength to achieve your goals, and I am here to partner with you in that process.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a Bangladeshi American and Multicultural Woman, a daughter of two immigrants, an older sister, a pet-mom of two adorable cats, an artist, a singer, a 200 RYT certified yogini, a writer, a vegetarian, and a trauma psychotherapist who inspires healing through the arts. I strive to help you speak your untold truths so that you can begin to feed your hearts. In working with my clients, I found that healing is unequivocally about feeding our hearts with what brings us peace and ESPECIALLY what brings us joy. We all struggle to show up as ourselves—even I do as I am writing this—but I have chosen to unapologetically be myself so that you can be seen the way you deserve to be seen. For me, and for many of my clients, feeding ourselves with acts of joy are a personal and communal healing movement.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) as well as a Certified Alcohol and other Drug counselor. In my career I have partnered with clients with chronic mental health concerns such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, who also many times had co-occurring disorders such as substance use, but my passion is to work with adults who are attempting to overcome trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, daily life stressors, relationships, and those who are trying to identify and overcome the root causes of emotional pain and overall unhappiness. I have always had great empathy for others. I learned very early in my own life that I strongly wanted to find solutions for anything I identified as “the problem”. This desire is what lead me to the field of Psychology and counseling. Through the field of counseling, I continue my passion of problem solving by helping others identify “problems” and find solutions. My approach to therapy is one that is flexible, non-judgmental, and empathic with the understanding that therapy has to be unique to the individual . Possibilities and solutions are infinite and individualized. Understanding how we perceive the world around us as well as how our thoughts influence our lives is a key part of my approach to therapy. As I partner with clients, we work together to determine what works best for them and use those strategies to bring forth restoration of the mind, body, spirit, and overall emotional well-being.

For several years, I have been in private practice, assisting both children and adults facing difficulties related to depression and anxiety, as well as supporting older adults dealing with lifestyle changes and health concerns.

This evidence-based method equips clients with tailored tools and strategies. Together, we will identify triggers and explore ways to alleviate the physical and emotional symptoms you may be experiencing. Having been raised in a military family and lived in various states, I have gained unique insights into community, culture, and the importance of building new relationships.

I am an Illinois and Wisconsin Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has extensive experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University, where the prominent perspective was person-centered therapy. I have worked with several different client populations including couples with marriage difficulties, adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and other life adjustment issues, physically and sexually abused adolescents and adults, adolescents with mental health issues related to school, home, adjustment, or mental illness, and even adolescents and adults on the verge of suicide. In working with these populations, I have gained vast experience in family dynamics and feel it is important to focus on the whole system, especially when a child is involved. I have also been trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and I feel many adults and adolescents could greatly benefit from learning these skills. God is our ultimate counselor and His word is referenced and prayed from as part of the healing process.

I have assisted individuals make positive changes. I use a number of therapeutic interventions, primarily Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I also bring less traditional approaches to my work with individuals by incorporating visual arts, music, and movement. As a strong believer in Mindfulness, I encourage this practice to all of my clients in order to maintain peace and balance in their lives. As your therapist, allow me to guide you through the discovering your strengths, supporting you through your daily stressors, or managing past turmoil in your life. I look forward to hearing from you.

I hold licenses as a clinical social worker and a clinical addiction counselor. My educational background includes a BA in Psychology from Purdue University, obtained in 2003, and a Master's in Social Work from Indiana University, completed in 2006. Since 2006, my professional journey has encompassed 4 years in private practice, 12 years addressing the needs of DCS/probation/court-ordered clients, 7 years in a jail setting (including 6 years as a clinical supervisor), and a role as a clinical director at an addiction recovery center. My experience spans working with first responders, groups, couples, and individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, crisis situations, gender issues, adjustment disorder, parenting challenges, stress, self-esteem, codependency, relationship difficulties, and more. My particular area of passion lies in aiding those struggling with addiction, a field in which I have nearly two decades of experience. I feel therapy is like the gym and results are seen when working on things in a consistent manner. That being said, I strongly encourage weekly session to start and gradually reduce to twice a month and then monthly to see the best and quickest results.

Regardless of how often we meet, be it once a week, once per month, or once in a lifetime, my goal is to create an atmosphere free from external judgment. This will allow you room to develop both clarity and confidence in the decisions you make while you determine the best manner in which to live your life. As you gain greater insight into ongoing challenges, I will provide theory based reflective and directive clinical support. Through this process, you may find your ability to grow and change has a limitless capacity. It's time to experience life on your terms.

Hi. My name is Sarah Moses, MA, PsyD. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in a wide range of disorders and life stressors. I work collaboratively with my clients to meet their goals by creating a safe space so they can learn tools, gain insight, and become "unstuck" from the areas of life that are getting in their way of becoming their most authentic self. I conduct both short-term and long-term therapy depending on patient needs (some clients need a safe place to process and gain insight, others are looking for coping skills).
