I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago and a Masters Degree in Counseling from National Louis University.

I'm Joanna Czyz, LCSW, MSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting children, preteens, adults, parents, and families through life's challenges. I have over 20 years of experience working with children in preschool and elementary education, which inspired my passion for helping individuals and families navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational difficulties.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and behavioral issues. As an attachment-, trauma-, and expressive-based therapist, I believe everyone deserves to feel worthy of care, compassion, and support. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered as they move toward healing and personal growth.

I work with children ages 4 and older, preteens, adults, parents, and families, using evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's unique needs and goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel real, human, and grounded in honest conversation. With experience in community mental health, treatment courts, group work, and clinical supervision, in addition to working with individuals navigating trauma, identity, and personal change. I also teach and mentor future counselors while researching the psychological experiences of individuals living with vitiligo. I bring a little bit of humor into therapy, because let’s face it, in this day and age a little bit of laughing takes stress off our already hectic lives; though when it is time to get serious, we will address all and any issues that may be hindering your pathways of life. My philosophy: “people are more than their labels, and growth begins when people feel seen, heard, and respected.”

Hi there, I’m Shelia

Do you feel like the weight of the world is weighing you down? Life’s struggles are becoming unmanageable? Managing family, relationships and job is getting too hard?

I help clients find a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen their relationships. We can partner to identify what works and what doesn’t to create a new path that works better. I have experience with individual, family, and group modalities and will use an integrative approach based on your needs. This may include: client-centered, mindfulness, solution focused, and trauma-informed techniques.

Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.
