Therapists for Teens in 60643
During my 20 years of servicing children and families, I have supported clients who were experiencing trauma related to grief and loss, sexual assault, first generation related responsibilities, low self-esteem, cultural expectations, dating violence, gun violence and major life transitions. Often, their goals were to manage their circumstances or become empowered to lift themselves out of their uncomfortable experience they were encountering. Their desire was to find tangible ways to not only cope with their stress, but to resolve the impact it had on their wellbeing and mental health.

Hello My name is Prem Nikoniuk. I have been serving my fellow travelers in life for the past 22 years and it never tires me. I discover a little bit of me in literally every single interaction I have with someone new. I am licensed in AK and IL and I've lived in both states enjoying their many gifts. I am human-based and believe deeply in the human experience- as in doing life versus being in life. I work endlessly with people of all ages, backgrounds, race/ethnicity/culture/identity and as such have been privy to so very many of their experiences along the way!

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Adler University in 2023, after seven years of community organizing on behalf of and alongside people with disabilities. This experience and my own lived experience as a disabled woman greatly influence my client-centered approach to therapy. We all can thrive as long as our needs are appropriately addressed. It simply requires us to recognize our own gifts, and the gifts of those around us.
