Female Therapists in Troy, IL

In my 10 years of helping individuals, families, and communities I have realized we all have needs/wants and those needs/wants matter. We all come to therapy with unique experiences, and you are the expert of your experience. Sometimes things can become too difficult to handle on our own and we need some extra help figuring out the best way to move forward.

I understand that the choice of a therapist is an important one. The trust that is built between the client and the therapist is important in determining how helpful therapy can be. I work hard to create a supportive therapeutic environment. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere and encourage people to talk at a pace that is comfortable for them. I believe that an individual has the ability to learn to do things differently and feel better. I use techniques associated with the widely recognized cognitive behavioral theory as well as those from family system's theory.

I often work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress/adjustment concerns, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I also specialize in helping individuals of all ages cope with the emotional strains that may come with experiencing chronic health conditions. No matter what you are facing in life, times of transition or adjustments in life can be stressful and overwhelming and having someone walk alongside you on your journey can help you unlock your full potential.

My ideal client would be someone who is struggling to manage anxiety and depression, someone who is struggling with low self-esteem, and who is struggling with life changes and stress management. My ideal client would need a counselor who is going to provide them with coping skills to manage their symptoms and a counselor who is going to give them multiple options to see what works for them. My ideal client would want a counselor who is honest, trustworthy, and transparent.

My mission is to provide the highest quality mental health care in a compassionate and culturally sensitive way to help individuals, groups, and families achieve their personal goals. I use client-centered and evidence-based approaches to address the unique needs of my clients and work collaboratively to help each client to achieve a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I specialize in treating a variety of areas such as anxiety, depression, PTSD/ trauma, and stress management and provide services to children, adolescents, and adults. I tailor treatment to your specific needs and enjoy helping and empowering youth and young adults.

As a therapist, I seek to utilize my knowledge, skills, and support to provide the tools and strategies that will guide clients to their goals of healing, building, and strengthening their lives and relationships. My specialties are relationship issues that can include couple/marital concerns, coparenting concerns, individual issues with coworkers, friends, and family. I also do marriage preparation. I work with individuals seeking personal and spiritual healing and growth, self-esteem, and building self-awareness. For over 10 years, I have worked with domestic abuse /violence victims and perpetrators.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have 25+ years of experience working with individuals who are struggling with symptoms of mental health or substance use disorders. Licensed in Illinois, Missouri, and Florida. In the fast-paced world we live in, we are constantly facing heightened feelings of stress caused by workplace, parenting, family, or other relationship conflicts. Unfortunately, for many, alcohol or drugs are used to “manage” the difficult times. It is my goal to help clients navigate their complex feelings and to provide the tools and coping skills needed to return hope, inner peace and happiness to their lives.

Worried about your child or teen? Grieving the loss of a loved one? Dealing with infertility? I have 20 years experience in working with families and women struggling in these areas. Parenting doesn't come with a roadmap. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed with all the conflicting advice we get. I help families navigate their way through life's twists and turns using realistic, proven and common-sense solutions (and a little humor and fun).

Invictus. Meaning undefeated, unbreachable, invincible. We go through this incredibly tough life's journey and we fight for our survival. When we reach a point where we no longer have to physically fight, our minds and bodies don't always recognize the fight has ended and we are now fighting shadows that once were. I know trauma. I lived trauma. I survived trauma. I am here to tell you that we are conquerors, my friend. You are undefeated and you're proving it by being right here, right now. My hope is to empower you and work together with you to assist in healing trauma and mastering life challenges.

Welcome to a space dedicated to your well-being and growth. I'm Jasmine Fulton, a licensed social worker with a master's degree in social work, committed to supporting individuals, children, families, and mothers on their journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I believe that my clients have the ability to live an active and productive life on all levels. I focus on providing a non-judgmental and empathic experience for my clients. I listen and help to establish specific achievable goals with everyone I work with. I thrive on building a trusting relationship with my clients. I believe that with supportive, directional therapy, all people can succeed and be effective in their daily life.

Are you thinking about counseling, but aren't sure where to start or who to see? I'm Sara, and I'm here to help. I help people become the best version of themselves by providing an inviting, private space to achieve goals, improve relationships, and heal from challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief & loss, trauma and more.

After having worked as a school counselor at the grade school level for nine years, and at the high school level for fifteen, I transitioned to working with adults in a clinical setting, twelve years ago. I have experience in meeting with people to work through relationship issues, process emotions, and learn new tools for dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress.

I enjoy assisting clients in recognizing their strengths and promoting positive growth. I use a client-centered approach but also use a combination of solution-focused, cognitive/ behavior modification and motivational interviewing.

Are you feeling like something is missing in your life? Do you wish you could have your life back the way it used to be? Or maybe it has never been what you would like it to be. It could be related to relationships, work, family, or even nothing that you can identify at all. Ignoring the problem is not the answer even though it seems easier. You may want a "quick fix" but there is no replacement for really working through the issues in our lives and getting to a better place. Basically...how you got where you are and where to go from here. It is a big step. That's the kind of "fix" that lasts a lifetime.

At some point in every person's life, therapy can be helpful. People who seek therapy are engaging in a healthy, proactive approach towards their life. They are typically seeking to implement positive, lasting life change and growth. Counseling, or therapy, is considered a collaborative, cooperative, problem-solving process, actively involving both the client and counselor, to bring about emotional or behavioral change. Counseling is a proactive and healthy way to manage life stress, work through trauma, develop coping skills, improve behavior, communication and more. As a private practice counseling group, our goal is to help.

I believe that in order to effectively navigate relationships, whether at home, in the workplace, or within the community, it is essential to understand and address the dynamics of the larger systems at play. By taking a holistic and systemic approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to empower them to put their 'oxygen mask' on first and foster healthier relationships within the context of their unique systems.

Asking for help can feel very intimidating especially when it comes to your mental health. My clinical focus centers around helping individuals heal and process what they are going through and what they have been through. Counseling is a safe, nonjudgemental space to start your mental health healing process.
