Hi! My name is Raziya. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I am passionate about helping clients reach their full potential in life.
Hello,
Feeling unmotivated, anxious, and depressed? Having trouble getting out of bed? Feel like your anxiety is dragging you down? Having trouble getting through school? You have come to the right place. I love to meet my clients where they are at in their most desperate moments. We all need a good "pick me up" from time-to-time and speaking to a therapist is always a great first step. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. I have experience working with children and all the way up to geriatric population. I am a Chicago-Based Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am bi-lingual in English/Spanish. Let's begin your journey!
I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Social Work at Northeastern Illinois University in 2013 and my Master's in Social Work at Aurora University in 2014.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I care deeply about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and stress. I believe that every person’s story matters, and your care should reflect your unique needs and goals.
I am accepting new clients. Please message me to set up a consultation phone call so we can discuss fit and scheduling.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist and ADHD specialist, I help individuals and couples improve their relationships and manage challenges related to communication, ADHD, parenting, and daily stress. Relationships play a big role in our well-being—they can bring closeness and joy, but also tension and disconnection. In therapy, I’ll help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, let go of what isn’t working, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections. I also support individuals in handling the demands of work, parenting, and relationships with more balance and confidence.
I have a fundamental belief in the transformative power of therapy. I come to this belief not just as a practicing therapist but as someone who was profoundly shaped by therapy as a young man. Having started my own journey with doubt and hesitation, I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this work. Talking about therapy can feel tricky as jargon and platitudes often dominate the conversation. What I can say is this: I believe in your capacity—within a therapeutic relationship that intuitively feels right to you—to become a better version of yourself defined on your own terms.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Joliet, IL
Searching for therapists in Joliet starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Some profiles may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, which can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions.
In a smaller city like Joliet, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and in-person office access. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Illinois while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to support people in your state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Joliet 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 find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can review profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
