Stress Therapists in Pecatonica, IL

Lucy Scott is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who originally trained as a Trauma Informed Art Psychotherapist in New York. She has since become a certified trainer in the Attachment Regulation Competency (ARC) framework, trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Sensory Motor Affect Regulation Therapy (SMART). I have traditionally worked with clients and family systems impacted by complex trauma. I work with clients struggling from post traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, negative self concept, parental concerns and relationship challenges.

My name is Melody Wilson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Illinois and Indiana with over 16 years of clinical experience working with adults with Anger Management, Coping Skills, Grief, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Life Coaching, Parenting, Schizophrenia, Stress, Self Esteem, and Life Transitions. I use various therapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and all those which are adequate for my client’s mental health needs. I firmly believe that support is not a weakness but a need!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by sadness or anxiety? Overwhelmed by family issues? Gripped by job stressors? Are you struggling with a divorce? Having conflicts in your relationship or going through a break-up? Getting triggered by old traumas? The people that I work with want more from life: joy, peace, and satisfaction. I can help you achieve your goals & find a better way of living.

I enjoy working with individuals that are ready to do something different. Often a person gets stuck in feeling the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again waiting for things to change. Only by making a change in your behavior can you expect a different outcome, some people need support to make a change that is lasting.

Do you feel that anxiety, stress and panic are taking a toll on you body and the mind? My approach to therapy is to create a safe space where you can explore and heal the difficult and painful issues that are showing up in your life. Together we will move beyond problem-solving into releasing the mistaken beliefs and core unresolved issues behind your symptoms. My body-centered and mindfulness approach allows me to work directly with your nervous system to address symptoms like anxiety, racing thoughts, and irrational fears as well as feeling stuck, depressed and unavailable or unresponsive to life and relationships.

Life is full of transitions. Whether graduating college, leaving home, starting or ending a relationship, childbirth, career change, bereavement, or aging, such transitions can stir up strong emotions, causing stress and even grief. I help individuals from young adulthood through their senior years who are facing depression, anxiety, and other personal challenges to access the strengths they possess and the skills they need to navigate such struggles with renewed confidence, presence of mind, and embodied capabilities.

Hi! I am here to create a safe and supportive space for you. My goal is to empower you to experience long-term growth, utilizing strength-focused, trauma-informed, and evidence-based therapy. Main clinical areas I treat are depression, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, school challenges, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, trauma, and stress. My approach with youth is derived from training in Collaborative and Proactive Solutions, CBT, and play therapy. Using these techniques, I develop an understanding of each person’s internal and external world to identify the earliest point of change and facilitate improved functioning.

Our lives can take many twists and turns at any life stage. When mental health conditions are present, our challenges can feel even more intense and difficult to manage. Depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and high stress levels can feel like thieves of our peace of mind, our hope, and sense of control of our lives. I believe coming to therapy can be the place for people to work on bringing their lives, overall wellness, and their sense of self back into balance and focus. Therapy is the tool for beginning a new way forward.

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.
