I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where children and teens feel safe being themselves while working toward positive change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 22 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families in both school and mental health settings. I currently work in a school, helping students navigate social, emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. I also have experience in an adolescent psychiatric hospital, where I supported teens struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.

I understand the unique pressures young people face today—from school stress, academic expectations, and fitting in with peers to family conflict, identity development, anxiety, depression, and parental stress. My approach is affirming, strengths-based, and solution-focused, combining empathy and a genuine sense of humor. I believe therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy and that laughter can be an important part of healing. Together, we'll build on your strengths to help you feel more confident, resilient, and empowered.

I’m a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional wellbeing, healing, and personal growth.

If you’re looking for a warm, nonjudgmental space, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, women’s issues, and life’s difficult seasons so they can feel more at peace, confident, and connected to themselves and the people they care about. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure of what comes next, you don’t have to work through it alone. Therapy can help you feel understood, find clarity, and create positive change.

Hi, I'm Kendra. If life has taken a turn you did not plan for, whether that is struggling

to grow your family, an anxiety that will not quiet down, or a relationship that feels

stuck, you do not have to sort it out alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in

Illinois, and I work with adults and families who are carrying more than they let on. My

belief is simple: empathy, empowerment, and collaboration are what make therapy

work. You bring what you are facing, and we find the path forward together. When you

Hi, I'm Latosha Haywood, LCPC, with a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and I'm really glad you're here.

Before I became a therapist, I spent years as a 911 call taker, showing up for people in some of their scariest, most overwhelming moments. That work taught me something I carry into every session: that people are so much stronger than they realize, and that having someone truly in your corner can make all the difference.

If you're going through something hard right now, whether it's the heaviness of anxiety or depression, the echoes of past trauma, or just feeling like life has knocked you off balance, I want you to know that you don't have to figure it out alone. My door is open, and you can come exactly as you are.
