Teletherapy for Aurora, IL

Everyone needs someone to talk to and people seek therapy because they want something to be different in their lives. They may want to change a personal situation, solve a particular problem, or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives. They are open to new ways of thinking, relating to themselves/others and making adjustments in their daily lives and interactions. They understand that growth takes time, effort, and belief that they can create the changes they want.

We all go through times in our lives that may be difficult to manage; especially on our own. In these times, it may be even more difficult to open up to others. However, when we do, we may find that it can be healing, beneficial, and encouraging. I enjoy working with clients of all ages from children to older adults, and have lengthy experience working with adolescents through adults. I have worked in multiple settings including inpatient hospitalization, adult and adolescent partial hospitalization, and emergency rooms providing crisis intervention. I highly enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.

In therapy, you can anticipate being acknowledged, valued, and treated with respect. Your journey is unique, and I hope to best understand your needs through a supportive and empathic therapeutic bond.

I am a compassionate social worker with over three years of experience empowering individuals of all ages to overcome life's challenges.

Api provides a creative, safe space where individuals can feel comfortable, understood, and secure to express themselves freely, without judgment, while empowering clients. Api is also welcoming of individuals who would like to incorporate their spiritual and/or religious beliefs into their healing journey and growth process. Depending on their individual needs, she uses a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as Mindfulness, Person-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients. It's important to remember that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

With nearly a decade of experience as a therapist I can say that the most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing people become “unstuck” in their lives. At some point or another, we have all found ourselves doing, thinking, or feeling things that seem to do us more harm than good. I want to help you examine these things, and get to the “why” behind them—because that is where healing can begin. I graduated from the University of Illinois in Urbana- Champaign, Summa Cum Laude, and went on to complete my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at Wheaton College (IL).

Hello, I am Dr. Maria T Herrera, an immigrant, bilingual (English and Spanish), passionate, experienced LCSW with a diverse understanding of vulnerable populations in many settings. The therapeutic relationship is the best healing tool in therapy, and it is based on mutual honesty and trust. I hope to help you get to know and love yourself, the most challenging thing in life. When you find meaning in your life, your anxiety, depression, substance, food, shopping, abuse, etc. tend to improve. I aim to provide a safe holding environment for you without judgment of any kind, a place to be human.

Do you find yourself struggling to navigate life's challenges? Are you yearning for a space where you can embrace your true self, free from judgment and stigma? You've come to the right place. I'm Ricky Spain, a dedicated therapist with a passion for empowering queer Black and Brown individuals to live authentically and thrive. As a queer person of color and a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP), I bring a wealth of experience in supporting adults facing depression, anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, and interpersonal stressors.

Counseling… Will it help? Who should I see? Who can I trust? If you are asking yourself any of these questions, as a nurse and a counselor I can help assess what is going on. Are you experiencing depression or anxiety, or reactions to stress during a difficult time? What is impacting your moods, your health, your well-being, your confidence, your sense of self? Should you consider medication? I believe the answers are within you. I offer a safe place where you can talk, learn, and develop to be your best.

I believe that the 'fit' with a therapist is one of the most important aspects of the therapy process. I am the founder of KM Institute; a private practice that is dedicated to customizing your unique needs in order to ensure an effective 'fit' for your therapy process. I bring 19 years of experience working in schools, jail, residential, emergency room, and outpatient settings. I am dedicated to helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families with finding and implementing tools that help them reach their goals, and improve their emotional health. My specialities include trauma/PTSD, self injury, depression, anxiety, and grief.

Life is filled with challenge and opportunity and the aging process often elicits unique physical, emotional, existential and spiritual needs. Since we are social beings who yearn for connection, therapeutic support can help clients "tell their stories" and make meaning out of life events past and present. As a faith-based agency, Gateway believes that hope can outweigh despair and seeks to accompany clients on their own journeys of transformation. Such a journey requires only the willingness to begin.

At different points in time, life can present challenges that feel and seem difficult to overcome. Attempts to make sense of it all or resolve these challenges, might result in feelings of being stuck and unsure of where to turn. While friends and family are available to offer the needed support, sometimes it’s helpful to seek professional support, such as psychotherapy. Many years ago, I decided to become a clinical social worker because I felt called to assist individuals overwhelmed and stuck by life’s challenges. I believe everyone has the strength and resilience to overcome life’s challenges if given the opportunity.

Are you looking to make positive changes in your life and to partner with a psychotherapist who will truly listen to you, provide a safe place to share your concerns, and will help draw on your inner strength to overcome the challenges you are facing? I am excited to partner with you in your healing journey. I am passionate about helping others and consider myself to be a champion for social justice and working with clients who might come from marginalized communities or face discrimination or harassment. I believe that by partnering with you - drawing on your strength and courage and setting specific goals - I can help you grow.
