Welcome! I'm Brianne (many of my younger clients know me as Ms. Brie), founder of Imagination Grove Play Therapy.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist with more than 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families.
Throughout my career, I've specialized in helping individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and social difficulties. My background as a school social worker has provided extensive experience collaborating with families, educators, physicians, and multidisciplinary teams to support children across home and school settings while also deepening my understanding of the unique challenges families face.
Whether you're seeking support for your child, yourself, or your family, I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space where every client feels safe, understood, and empowered to grow. I believe healing happens through connection, curiosity, and meeting each person where they are. Together, we'll build on strengths, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Evanston, IL
Searching for therapists in Evanston starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Evanston therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you want to work on.
Evanston has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Chicago, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. You may prefer an office near downtown Evanston, Northwestern, or transit, or you may want virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Evanston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists in Evanston who take insurance, view estimated costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapist profiles, compare fit, and choose someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
