Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Illinois.

Are you feeling like you're not living up to your potential? Are you struggling to break free from unhelpful patterns? As a therapist, I'm here to help you unlock your inner strengths and access new pathways for healing. My clients describe me as thoughtful, grounding, and calming. They know that I will lead with compassion and consideration, even as I challenge them to expand and grow.

Life’s challenges are undeniable. Yet, I firmly believe that we are not meant to confront them in isolation. I’ve encountered my own trials, moments when I grappled with uncertainty and emotional turmoil. Through these experiences, I’ve come to understand the significance of nurturing all facets of our being. My aim is to impart this understanding and the value of holistic self-care to those I work with.

If you’re struggling with feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, depression, feeling lost with your direction in life/career, or struggling with disordered eating, you have come to the right place. During our sessions, we will be doing values based work, along with CBT to explore if you are living a life in alignment with your core values. I challenge clients on their thoughts and actions to encourage them to be the best versions of themselves. I use approaches that emphasize growth and resilience. I believe strongly in embracing discomfort. I believe that in discomfort, there is growth; and with growth, comes change.

Accepting new clients in IL, AZ, IN, and NJ! Managing with Mindfulness offers a safe and judgement-free environment to unravel life’s greatest stressors, utilizing a variety of treatment methods to best serve your goals. We work primarily with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. We will work together to gently examine how your mind, body, and soul are interconnected. We will also assess how your current environment, work/school, and relationships impact your mental health. We plan to meet you where you are, in the present moment, regarding your goals and intentions.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey of self-exploration. As a therapist, I like to support you on this journey by validating, challenging, and encouraging you. I believe everyone is the expert of their own lives and I aim to empower each client in exploring their intersectional identities and strengths. Starting or continuing therapy is a brave and vulnerable decision, and I intend to support you, and witness you grow into the person you wish to be.

It is important to me that clients feel comfortable and safe with me and the therapeutic process. I accomplish this by listening empathetically, nurturing collaboration, and providing compassionate feedback during sessions. I love to have check-ins with clients to make sure they are getting what they need from me and to make any adjustments to therapeutic goals. I bring my whole self to sessions, including a sense of humor at times, because I don't think therapy has to be a stuffy place.

I enjoy helping people identify and overcome the roadblocks that prevent them from moving forward. I have met more and more individuals with OCD who need support in addressing the obstacles and mindsets that promote OCD behaviors. Help is available, and with focus and intention, change is inevitable. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. Additionally, we have received intensive training in ERP therapy—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

My therapeutic approach is relational, reflective, and humanist. I believe that acceptance, and safety are important aspects of engendering connection with people. I prioritize understanding individuals’ subjective experiences that culminate to influence their reality. I am trained in trauma-informed approaches but use an eclectic style of treatment approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Relational-Cultural, Feminist, Somatic Theories and interventions. Please come as you are, and engage in strengths and solutions based, self-directed work. I believe we can all find more empathy toward ourselves.

You want a therapist who is more than just a good listener. Therapy should be a supportive but challenging and dynamic space that opens up new ways of relating to the world. I aim to build a relationship based on trust and honesty to help you develop new skills and uncover opportunities for agency and growth. Clients appreciate the frankness, humor, and authenticity I bring to the therapy space. I see value in deep exploration, but will balance it with attention to opportunities for action you can take now in your daily life. I see clients not as people who are "sick", but rather "stuck." I want to help you get unstuck.

Hello. My name is Daniel, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois, where I have been providing mental health services for over 22 years. Regardless of background, financial status, or the countless other aspects of ourselves that make each of us unique, one universal fact that impacts us all is that life is inherently unpredictable. As such, we all face unexpected changes and events ranging anywhere between extremely positive and brutally challenging, all increasing our risk of feeling unprepared, isolated, and possibly overwhelmed, having no idea of what to do next.

Hi, my name is Joshua Hardwick, and I hold a clinical social worker license specializing in evidenced-based therapy/mental health. My primary approach to therapy consists of supportive listening, and introducing interventions/coping skills supported by research to improve wellbeing, life satisfaction, and daily functioning for people experiencing mood disorders and symptoms related to trauma. I believe that the individual is the subject matter expert on their life and experiences and only after offering empathetic listening, can understand how to help their specific needs.

I have over 20 years of experience in supporting clients’ mental health. I am passionate about working to help people heal from trauma, work through major life changes or help individuals find their voice and feel empowered. I take an integrative approach with my clients, and believe that establishing a relationship and trust are the most important elements for success. I believe that perinatal mental health is so important–for women to feel mentally resilient and supported during the whole life cycle of fertility. If you’re somewhere on this journey, I would be honored to support you.

Having trouble sleeping? Can’t seem to find the motivation to complete daily tasks? Struggling to communicate with a loved one? Various challenges in life can lead us to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or BOTH. Therapy can provide a safe space to process, cope, and heal. In life, sometimes, we may struggle to see how our environments, upbringing, and relationships impact our mental health. While other times, we may lack the appropriate self-tools to change our own dynamics. I strongly believe that therapy empowers us to be more self-aware and protective of our mental wellness.

Hi there! Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. I enjoy working with all ages. For children I unfortunately am not seeing any via telehealth. When it comes to teens and adolescents I focus on building the relationship first and foremost since it is the most important part of therapy no matter what age. From there we really explore and process their current needs and focus on values to attach therapeutic goals to. As I work with adults the same process happens in tandem with mindful self compassion training to help loosen the grips of anxiety and other identity struggles. I like to help client even when they're unsure of their goal

Are you a chronically ill person who feels unheard or dismissed? Are you struggling with navigating life as a Queer, TGNC, poly, or kinky person? Or with AFAB-specific health conditions (Endometriosis, etc.)? My work centers marginalized identities, including those who are chronically ill, disabled, queer, TGNC, poly, and/or kinky. My lived experiences navigating chronic illness, ableism, survivorship, and Bi+ invisibility have taught me compassion and the importance of rest as an act of resistance against oppressive systems. In the words of Audre Lorde, self-care “is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Greetings, My name is Nakia! I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the field of mental health and well-being. I am fueled by a genuine desire to help people navigate life's challenges, discover their inner strength, and achieve personal growth. My approach is grounded in empathy, aiming to provide you with a secure and supportive environment where you feel comfortable to explore your life's spaces, your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations.

My journey into the world of mental health began with a deep commitment to helping people find peace and fulfillment in their lives. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem issues, relationship conflicts, ADHD, and substance use. With experience working with children, teens, and adults, I guide clients through a range of life challenges. My therapeutic approach is flexible and individualized, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), play therapy for children, and incorporating elements of art therapy.
