I am not seeing couples at this time. I work best with women. Are you ready to say no without guilt? I use the feminist theory of counseling to examine the effects of power structures in your life. I use guided meditation to reprogram subconscious beliefs like, "I'm not good enough," and, "No one loves me." I’m neurodivergent affirming and have worked with many high achievers. I study adult attachment styles and how to become secure. I have been a counselor for 14 years. I enjoy meditating and walking in nature. I study psychology, spirituality, quantum physics, business, and nutrition.

If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety for longer than you can remember, you're not alone.

I've spent 12 years as a licensed counselor in Chicago working with people of all ages, from young children to seniors. What keeps me in this work is the moment a client realizes they've been surviving something hard, and that there's a different way forward.

I have a particular passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum struggles, families dealing with grief and loss, and adults working through trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients were looking for someone who would be real with them, not just professional. That's what you'll find here.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Cherie. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist. I work with teens and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Maybe you're constantly on edge, overthinking everything, or finding it hard to slow down. Or maybe you’ve been feeling flat, unmotivated, or like you're just going through the motions. These experiences often trace back to things your nervous system picked up on — ways it learned to protect you in stressful or painful situations.

I help people work through painful memories, low self-esteem, and the weight of depression—like feeling numb, exhausted, stuck, or hard on yourself. We'll explore the parts of you carrying that pain and move at a pace that feels right, whether you're ready for deep healing or just need a safe place to land.

If you’re feeling ready—or just curious—I’d be honored to support you on your healing path.

Outside of therapy, I love curling up with a good book, finding design inspiration (I have a soft spot for cozy interiors), caring for my houseplants, and spending time with my dog, Magnolia Grace—who may occasionally drop in for a virtual session cameo.

Hi my name Larry.

My areas of specialization include trauma and couples counseling, and I have a particular passion for working with women.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Elgin

Searching for therapists in Elgin starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their approach, what sessions may look like, and whether their style feels like a fit.

In a smaller city like Elgin, the number of nearby in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of the Chicago area. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Illinois. When reviewing therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and session format in one place.

Therapy in Elgin can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your preferences, lets you check insurance coverage for your plan, and offers virtual or in-person appointments. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
