Therapists in Loop, Chicago, IL

In one moment, your life can change forever. These turning points in life often lead to us question everything we have known. As we try to pick up the pieces of our life, we can get lost along the way. We are here to help you to find your way and overall become healthier.

How often have you been told how responsible or mature you were as a child? Maybe you feel highly impacted by others' emotions or reactions. What's it like to consider that these things may have developed as a means to survive chaos and instability in life? We'll work together to embrace what we feel plague us. There's strength and power in all of these things. I work with clients healing from childhood trauma, those looking to improve their relationship with food & their bodies as well as clients living with intrusive thoughts, panic and obsessive thinking.

NOW accepting new clients! Do you feel isolated and withdrawn? Are you overcome with anxiety or depression? if so, you do not have to struggle alone. I will partner with you to identify what you want your life to look like and provide the support and professional guidance needed to get you there. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and empathetic space to help guide you on your path to wholeness and living the life you really want.

I provide a strengths based and client centered approach to therapy. I believe that each woman seeking help has strengths and it is my goal to help her during therapy to discover her strengths and to utilize those to continue the healing process.

Taking the first step towards change can feel overwhelming and I recognize the courage it takes to start the journey towards healing. I believe the therapeutic relationship with my clients has an impact on facilitating growth so I strive to create a supportive environment that assists them in navigating decisions that can keep them feeling stuck. I listen intently and seek to understand my clients so they feel cared for. My strength based approach allows me to highlight the sense of resilience that each client brings and I collaborate with clients to set goals and solve problems that lead to a healthier life.

You may be spending a lot of time feeling bad or worrying about where you are at in your life. Telling yourself stories of why you’re not enough or comparing yourself to everyone else around you? You may have convinced yourself you cannot have what you want or don't feel good enough to get to where you want to be in your life. You may not even know where you learned to talk to yourself this way. When did this start? Have you become your last priority? Continuing to worry may be stopping you from doing the things you want the most or keeping you from having the close meaningful friendships or relationships you truly want.

With a deep understanding of the complexities of human suffering and the importance of cultural competence, I am passionate about creating inclusive and affirming spaces where all individuals feel seen, valued, and supported on their journey towards healing. Drawing from evidence-based practices and a holistic approach, I tailor interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, empowering them to navigate life’s challenges with courage and resilience.

My primary therapeutic focus is those who have experienced addiction, trauma, grief, PTSD, and suffer from dual diagnosis. I also enjoy working with neurodivergent disorders, anxiety, OCD, and LGBTQ+ populations. Please see full list of expertise below!

You may be feeling unhappy, like you need to figure some things out and are wondering what you’re going to do. This worry could leave you feeling stressed and afraid to move forward, possibly even getting tired of dealing with a bunch of conflicting thoughts. You might be wishing things could get better, but you don’t know where to start. You don’t know how to fix it, you just know you can’t live like this and can’t keep doing things the same way. You deserve happiness and can learn to have trust in yourself.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing therapy services to diverse individuals.

Living as your authentic self is sometimes a struggle with who you expect to be and who others expect you to be. Changing habits can be very difficult but I want you to know that you have the ability to start over and be the best version of yourself. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, I use a holistic approach to support clients to meet their behavioral health goals.

Life is sometimes hard & the idea of starting the process of therapy can add to that stress and anxiety. You've already taken the first step by being here on Psychology Today. If you are constantly feeling frustrated, anxious or overwhelmed, I am here to help you figure out what's going on and move towards the life you want to live. I will support you on your journey towards positive change and emotional well-being. My approach is warm, engaging, collaborative and sometimes even humorous.

*Currently NOT accepting new clients* I am a Latinx psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide counseling through a feminist lens with focus on equality in the counseling relationship. I work with you to address your concerns as a healing partner.

Asking for help isn't easy and takes a great deal of courage. I greatly respect the individuals I work with and do my best to make their experience one that feels healing and encouraging. I work with children, teens, and adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic medical conditions, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I utilize a warm and thoughtful approach to create a genuine and collaborative partnership with each individual I work with.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and clinical counselor educator (EdD). My experience has been trauma-focused with emphasis on the experiences of those who have survived group-focused negative experiences. Resilience is the hallmark of those who are survivors of interpersonal challenges and, with a strength-based focus, we will work together to reinforce your unique, perhaps forgotten, talents and abilities.

Are you tired of obsessing over food and weight? There are so many messages that make us feel like we need to control our body size, above all else. Trying to figure out how to be healthy and take care of yourself can feel like an exhausting, uphill battle. It's not your fault and you don’t have to go through it alone. Wherever you are in your treatment process - if you have an eating disorder or are concerned about your body, your weight or food - I can consult to help you decide your next step. Therapy isn't just for those with a diagnosable eating disorder. If your relationship with your food is distressing, you may need support.

I work with individuals, families, and couples, to help them build, strengthen, and heal their relationships. In more than 19 years of clinical practice, I have developed transformative ways to work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. I use a variety of techniques including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I also help individuals who are facing life transitions, or who are experiencing difficulties in their partner relationships. I have experience with diverse family structures, and cross-cultural families and have lived extensively overseas, giving me a unique cultural perspective.

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. But, if you want to go far, go together.” Life is like an arena, and sometimes we want to throw in the towel. Sometimes we don’t see ourselves where we want to be in our lives or careers. We have habits we can’t break. Our relationships leave us frustrated. Or they don’t exist at all. We’re tired, lonely, and overwhelmed. Maybe it seems like the only one to blame is ourselves. But… We Always Have A Choice! It’s my mission to help you learn to take the reins of your life. Together, we will maximize your chances for success, your sense of fulfillment, and your freedom to choose for yourself.
