Female Therapists in Ottawa, IL

Therapy is a tool that is to be used to improve your quality of life and help you achieve your goals. My mission is to help you identify the steps necessary to reach your individual goals and empower you to become the best version of yourself.

In my 10+ years in the social work field, I have worked with clients from a diverse range of cultures, ages, backgrounds, and mental health diagnoses. I have also worked with individual clients, as well as couples and families. I enjoy working with others to help them uncover the path to success, help them to love themselves, and overcome roadblocks in their lives.

You don’t have to go through this alone. I'm Dana Taylor, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois, and I am here to help. My experience practicing in outpatient community mental health spans across diverse populations and ages in both group and individual therapy settings. Together, we will help you to find your voice and your power so that you can get "unstuck".

Hi, I am Lisa Allison- a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Educational Specialist in School Psychology. I have over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Therapist. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a master's in social work and National Louis in Chicago with an Ed.S in School Psychology. I am board-certified in Ohio, Illinois, and Nevada. I access several different approaches to treatment based on what works best for each individual. Creating a therapeutic relationship and establishing trust are the foundation for effective therapy.

I work with people who have experience trauma, abuse, and survived toxic environments. I believe that everyone can improve their lives through counseling. Life does not have to be filled with suffering, stress, anxiety, or depression. I base my treatment off of the belief that we heal through the mind, body, and spirit. I offer a unique approach to counseling with a sense of humor.

Therapy can be a path to wellness and positive change. I enjoy working with clients experiencing emotional stress stemming from anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I assist clients in gaining insight into their situations then setting goals to clarify and target problem behaviors. Therapy provides a safe space to explore challenges and gain control over emotions and behaviors.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change. Do you struggle with low self esteem, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, life changes/transitions, racism based trauma, difficulty setting boundaries or relationship stress? I seek to provide a space for growth and healing where you can safely share vulnerable parts of your life.

We provide the support needed in a safe and confidential environment that promotes understanding and better well-being through individualized treatment plans.

Starting on the path to mental wellness may seem intimidating at first, but you don't have to go through it alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I am dedicated to accompanying individuals on their journey toward improved well-being. My practice spans across diverse age demographics, encompassing children, adolescents, and the elderly. My mission is to foster resilience and empower individuals to uncover their inherent strengths. Together, we can navigate the challenges and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.

Welcome! My name is Fadumo Omar and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience. My client focus currently is individual and couples. However, I have experience working with teens and families. I have experience treating mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, relational issues, life transitions, pre-marital/marital issues, grief, immigration-related issues, ADHD, and cultural issues. Although I have a designated working model that I utilize to help clients navigate presenting concerns, I make it a priority to match a client's learning style to effectively promote their path to healing.

Erin has 5 years of clinical counseling experience, from residential, inpatient and outpatient care. Erin has passion to work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples as healthy relationships are the foundation for support to overcome hardships and trauma to create a more meaningful life.

Did you know that over a quarter of Americans seek professional counseling? If you are here, chances are you are suffering from anxiety, depression, loss, struggling with your relationships, or adjusting to life in general, and you are not alone! Seeking help in the form of therapy is the first step toward relief, happiness, and change. My name is Ashley Holcman and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and I am here to help. My goal is to create a warm, comfortable, safe environment that will allow you to feel completely at ease to discuss what is troubling you.

My ideal client would consist of a person or family ready, willing and able to put forth the effort needed to make improvements in their lives. Motivation and willingness to change are essential to achieve change.

It’s no secret that life comes with struggles – or that those struggles can impact every part of a person’s life. No matter the age, gender, race, or overall walk of life, those struggles can interfere with one's mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. The good news is that counseling can help with everything from childhood trauma to day-day life. With that in mind, Crossroads Counseling Services opened its doors in April 2007 with the mission of helping residents of Plainfield, Ottawa, Morris, and Yorkville, IL deal with and overcome these issues and trauma.

I work with you to help you rediscover joy in your relationships, overcome depression and grief, find relief from anxiety, or help you with your parenting challenges.

I work with adults and teens! Do you or your teen feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed?

Finding someone that's a good fit and asking for help is the first step in your journey to feeling better. It’s my belief, everyone should have a place where they feel safe and supported while processing their life stressors. Whether it be anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, or relationships difficulties.
