Hello there! Do you ever feel as though your life is a million-piece puzzle? Or feel as though your family or partner does not understand you. Life can be complicated, however, your mind does not constantly have to be. My diverse experience has allowed me to gain expertise in helping families, couples, parents, & individuals (16 years & older) in various settings, navigate through relational struggles, traumas, betrayals, anxieties, miscommunications, setbacks, self-discoveries, transitions, or misunderstandings. Together, we can identify what is not working and learn ways to communicate it in order to create change.

Maybe you have tried convincing yourself that you don’t really “need” help, but you are tired of feeling drained, unhappy, or frustrated. Perhaps you need emotional relief from trauma, strained relationships… or are simply hoping to regain some balance in your life. If this hits close to home; you do NOT have to keep going through life feeling this way. We're here to help you get your light back, reinvigorating your relationships, and gain a fresh perspective on tackling your problems. If you are willing, let’s start opening the blinds on the dark areas in your life. Together, let’s restore your light and reclaim your power & joy.

Hello, I’m Dr. Kelly Hamoudah! In my work, I believe that establishing a safe space and building rapport is the first step towards the healing process. If you’re looking for help from a psychologist who uses evidence based interventions, is warm and friendly, and cares about you reaching your goals, then you’re in the right spot.

Life is full of unexpected challenges, therapy can be beneficial in providing support for those challenges, as well as improving the quality of your life and relationships. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and supportive. I will work to help you create a life that you look forward to living. I strive to assist you in learning effective tools to achieve your goals, as well as find meaningful change, self-understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you to help promote self-awareness, identify patterns, and initiate the process of change. Everyone can use a little extra support now and then. I am here to help.

I offer supportive counseling that is solution focused and targets uncomfortable symptoms and behavior. I use a combination of research based conventional treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) therapies and mind-body approaches such as targeted relaxation techniques, mindfulness and EMDR.

In the dim, silent corners of your room, sadness and worry consume you. Each day feels like a challenging trek through dense fog, making even the smallest tasks seem daunting. Activities that once brought joy now feel dull because self-doubt and fear cloud your mind. Despite reaching out for help, the advice you receive offers no comfort. Instead, it deepens your sense of being lost and hopeless.

I am a bilingual and bi-cultural therapist who values the strength of a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. You might feel overwhelmed with finding a therapist if you are already feeling stuck. It can be hard to find someone to disclose your feelings to a "new person" during your time of vulnerability. My warm, empathetic, and non-directive approach has helped those new to therapy feel comfortable disclosing their most difficult emotions and experiences. My approach is collaborative, where I can guide you to find the right tools to feel in control of your life again.

You may find yourself experiencing toxic relationships/codependency, eating disorders, drugs & alcohol, anxiety, and perfectionism – the list of the ways we distract and soothe ourselves from discomfort goes on and on. You may find the need to learn more about yourself and your relationships, process life events, share things that are difficult to share with other people, or to explore how past experiences have shaped you. I am passionate about helping clients foster self-awareness by using motivational interviewing, to meet you right where you are. You don't need to be in a crisis to benefit from therapy.

Understanding the stresses and challenges work, family, school, and other responsibilities can bring to our lives, I am committed to walking with clients to process and develop a plan toward relieving anxiety, thinking clearly about the present, and moving boldly toward flourishing.

Hi I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and am experienced providing individual, couples, family and group counseling interventions. I work with children through adults, from a variety of backgrounds and varied presenting concerns. I utilize CBT, brief solution focused models, TF-CBT, and person centered interventions. I am a member of the Illinois Counseling Association and Illinois Mental Health Counseling Association.

My name is Sheika and I'm happy that you've made it this far. I'm here to be a sounding board, offer a fresh perspective, and provide non-intrusive techniques to improve your overall wellbeing. You are approached as an individual and the expert regarding your life. I'm simply here to assist along the way.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether your story involves moments of anxiety, grief, depression, or other plot twists I am here to help you get through challenging times. Your story is important and deserves to be nurtured and understood. We will explore circumstances that cause these feelings to become an obstacle within your everyday life.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating complex life challenges, including the effects of incarceration and significant transitions like starting a family, entering college, or going through a divorce. I specialize in supporting parents and families of children with complex behavioral issues, helping them create nurturing environments. I provide compassionate care to the loved ones of those struggling with addiction or incarceration, offering guidance and support through their journeys. My approach is evidence-based, focused on understanding and supporting clients and their families every step of the way.

Are you feeling paralyzed by anxiety or uncertainty? Are you feeling stuck in your daily life? Are you going through a major life transition? Do you want to get to know yourself better, or learn better tools for managing? If this sounds familiar to you, I might be the counselor for you! Many of my clients are people experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and adult ADHD, or those going through grief, stress, or a curveball life has thrown their way.

I work with individuals across the lifespan who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or just need a new perspective. Utilizing a person-centered approach allows clients to share their story. I want to help provide the space for my clients to process and identify maladaptive ways of coping or thinking to help them live life to the fullest. Change can be scary, especially when dealing with mental health issues. Using a relational approach allows the client to build a relationship with me so that they can feel comfortable and be themselves.

Do you feel like you need someone to process your thoughts with and want to improve your quality of life but don't know where to start? Navigating the mental health system can be a confusing and difficult process. I would like to make that process less daunting and assist you in getting the help that you need. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for us to process the difficulties you have or are currently experiencing. We can then explore and enhance the personal strengths that will allow you to reduce your current stress level and feel more grounded.

My philosophy toward therapy is first and foremost to honor the trust that you’ve placed in my position as guide. As we travel through our adulthood there are many twists and turns, losses, and life changes that we experience. We are surprised by sudden loss of enthusiasm, friends or loved ones departing, and other shifts. I specialize in working with those experiencing anxiety, depression, and burnout related to these changes. I approach each session from a humanistic and person-centered informed approach. As a guide, I will help you evolve toward a more empowered path to your life, while focusing on short- and long-term goals.

Feeling stuck, sad, lost, overwhelmed, drained, or confused? Repeating the same behavior patterns and want things to change but don’t know where to start? Let’s be honest, sometimes life can be great and sometimes life can really suck! Dealing with day-to-day struggles or past hurts can be emotionally taxing and often prevents us from being the person we want to be and live the life we want to live. The good news is you don’t have to navigate life’s complexities alone. My goal is to assist you in meeting your practical goals leading you to a more manageable and fulfilling life you can find enjoyment in.

I meet the clients where they are and get to know them and their strengths. My approach is trauma-focused and evidence-based therapy but I believe in empowering the clients.
