Female Therapists in Portage Park, Chicago, IL

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with New Insights Behavioral Health Services. I provide therapy that is collaborative, creative, and understanding. I have extensive experience helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate challenges related to Anxiety, OCD, Depression, Traumatic Stress, shame, grief and loss, job and academic stress, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, self esteem, and adjustment to life changes.

My name is Macie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults. I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and autism using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Strengths Based Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

I am passionate about helping my clients thrive and embark on a path of personal growth. I enjoy working with adult clients who are ready to gain insight into their lives, behaviors, and patterns. I firmly believe in our capacity for self-healing, and through a collaborative approach, we can unlock powerful insights and achieve personal growth. My therapeutic style is direct yet warm and compassionate. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can begin their therapeutic journey. I am EMDR trained and have found this modality to be extremely helpful in moving clients out of a place of feeling stuck.

Everyone can use a little help when things get complicated; conflict is a part of everyday life. Therapy is a space to genuinely connect and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions, your experiences, and your thoughts. Making the decision to start therapy can be a hard one. Whether you’re looking to work through trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, or difficult emotions; my goal is to help you reach your highest potential, while helping you work through any barriers or obstacles along the way.

A postdoc fellow at New Insights Behavioral Health, Dr. Rebecca specializes in complex developmental posttraumatic stress, severe depression, anxiety, and co-occurring substance/alcohol use disorders. Her expertise includes adverse childhood experiences, DV/IPV, ACoA, transgenerational trauma, childhood neglect, and abuse. With strong cultural competence and experience, she focuses on underserved populations, racial/religious minorities, and helping professionals with vicarious trauma.

I would love to work with someone who wants help handling something in their life whether internal, external, or both and is committed to working on their mental health.

There is no correct or easy path through trauma and the problems it creates in our lives. It is true when they say that the “only way out is through.” As someone who personally and professionally has experience with trauma, I am able to therapeutically guide individuals through the healing process without judgment. I want others to know it's okay to feel their feelings and that sometimes we need a little help to feel safe doing so. Therapy should be a space that you can create with your therapist, as all of us define safety and comfort in different ways.

Gratefully practicing at New Insights Behavioral Health Services. When people experience trauma or life stressors, it is not uncommon to become overwhelmed with emotions. My passion is to hold space and help facilitate healing in those who are feeling lost, lonely, or needing support. I collaborate with my adult clients to find healthy perceptions of themselves, explore their culture and intersectionality, and find liberation from their trauma by exploring their experiences with gentle curiosity. We will work together to gain skills, recognize core beliefs, reflect on life experiences as early as childhood, and reach goals!

I work collaboratively with patients on their goals and treatment options, always considering their personal background, unique experiences, priorities and values. I will collaborate with you to assess your life challenges and circumstances, and will help you to grow from your struggles. You will have a neutral safe space and unconditional support through this journey.

Lucent: glowing with or giving off light. I have always been in awe of the sun by day, and the fire by night. Both burning brightly, unabashedly, warm, and with purpose. It is my hope to offer you, in our co-created work, an opportunity to find your light (your authentic self) and allow it to guide you. I am here to walk alongside you, to witness your journey, and to encourage your light to glow. If you are so inclined, come join me in an experience of introspection, discovery, and play. I have over 10 years of experience working with trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, immigration, identity formation, and the inner critic.
