Therapists in Sangamon County, IL

I'm Jasmine, a licensed clinical social worker with training as a marriage family therapist. I have a passion for empowering individuals to unlock their full potential and live their best lives. I bring energy, enthusiasm, and a whole lot of heart to my work with clients. I am a firm believer in the power of therapy to facilitate growth, healing, and positive change. My dynamic and engaging approach to therapy creates a space that is both supportive and invigorating, where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and chart a course toward a more fulfilling life.

I strive to help my clients heal, rebuild their lives, and increase resiliency. I guide my clients to not only pay attention to what is showing up cognitively and emotionally but also within their body. Utilizing the wisdom of the body can help to release thoughts and emotions that leave people feeling stuck.

Grief and trauma often leave us feeling broken and damaged, alone and helpless, and fighting to just survive. You might not recognize yourself now or remember a time you didn't feel like this. Your grief may be so overwhelming that you don't even know what you feel. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to face your trauma and begin to heal. You're ready to feel the sun on your face. Most of all, you're ready to live again with a sense of hope and joy.

Are you and your partner struggling to communicate and looking for a space to learn how to better understand each other? Or, maybe you're an individual looking to improve your self-esteem and build a stronger relationship with yourself. As a couple and family therapist, I strive to provide a safe and encouraging space for intimate relationships, families, and individuals to process, heal, challenge patterns, explore different ways of thinking… and even enjoy some fun and laughs along the way!

If you're navigating the challenges of trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or significant life transitions, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. Together, we will work to understand and address the complexities of trauma, improve emotion regulation, enhance your self-esteem, and navigate the transitions that may be causing distress. My aim is to empower you with tools and insights that foster resilience and well-being. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate these challenges and work towards a more peaceful life.

I provide attachment focused trauma and sex therapy to queer people, trans people, non-monogamous and polyamorous people, sex workers, and kinky people. I love working through attachment repair work with people who have felt like they are "too much" or "not enough". Many of my clients resonate with experiencing "big emotions" or have a history of feeling misunderstood in romantic or sexual relationships. I also often work with individuals and couples who are aiming to unpack sexual shame, who are experiencing pain with sex, or who are navigating desire discrepancy.

My approach with clients usually ranges between goal-oriented and psychodynamic. We can address specific areas of improvement non-judgmentally. We can explore early childhood experiences or address traumatic events and how to move forward while challenging negative thoughts and beliefs along the way. With the treatment centered around the client’s needs, I also acknowledge intersections between race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and other cultural aspects of the client.

My practice focuses broadly on providing care to a diverse population who have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect, with a specific emphasis on providing care to adults processing childhood traumas and healthcare providers navigating personal and professional traumas. Certified in EMDR and skilled in parts-work therapy, I assist clients in addressing triggers and navigating symptoms of PTSD, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, dissociation, low self-esteem, and challenges in relationships.

I am currently practicing at the Center for Mindfulness and CBT and have a wait list for new patients. I offer remote or in-person sessions and am dually licensed in IL and MO.

My ideal client comes from many walks of life. They are children, teenagers, and adults and present with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship and family problems, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), school problems, and oppositional-defiant disorder. They all share a common need to be heard, empowered, and guided on the path of recovery. I provide evidence-based treatments tailored to the needs of my clients. I focus on strengths and capabilities rather than "illness."

Body-image concerns, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties impact our ability to grasp the life we long for. Simple pleasures such as enjoying time with friends, celebrating special moments, going out for dinner, hanging out with peers, or feeling connected to our partner can be a daunting or impossible prospect. Stepping into therapy can feel just as daunting, but it can be the beginning of grasping the life you deserve. I have worked with adolescents, teens, and adults to strengthen recovery from their eating disorder, improve body image, heal trauma, and strengthen relationships.
