Grief counselors and therapists in Oak Brook, IL

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a private practice in Chicagoland. As a body-inclusive practitioner, my clinical work is grounded in somatic psychotherapy and emphasizes the healing capacity of the mind-body-spirit connection.

I hold a Masters degree in Community Counseling from Loyola University Chicago and a Masters degree in Teaching from Webster University. I've supplemented my education with post-graduate training in trauma, somatics, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and neuroscience.

I’m Emily, a licensed psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in healthcare from Aurora University. I have extensive experience across various levels of care—including inpatient psychiatric settings, residential treatment, PHP/IOP, and community mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals facing co-occurring disorders, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.

Through my work with complex cases, I have observed that many challenges are deeply rooted in trauma and systemic issues.

Your mind can be loud even when everything looks fine from the outside. You may be replaying conversations because of anxiety, struggling to keep up with an ADHD brain, feeling disconnected from yourself during depression, or noticing that food and eating have begun taking up more emotional space than you want. You deserve somewhere you can talk about what is really happening without feeling judged or expected to have it all figured out. I provide virtual individual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout Illinois, with a focus on anxiety, ADHD, depression, and eating disorders. I also support clients navigating relationship and family concerns, stress, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, women’s issues, identity exploration, and LGBTQIA+ or transgender experiences when those concerns are part of the bigger picture. My goal is to offer a warm, affirming space where you can understand yourself more clearly, reconnect with your strengths, and begin feeling more comfortable in your own life.

Are you wanting to make change in life, but are struggling to escape the same old patterns? Looking to empower yourself and create change in your life? I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has spent my career assisting men in achieving their goals, making lasting and fulfilling relationships, and facing life's challenges head-on. I have worked with adults across the lifespan to address concerns about relationships, behaviors, substance use, and more.

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My faith in the Holy Trinity of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit greatly shape my life, and my work. I believe you have everything you need within you to achieve your goals and heal.

When someone you love is struggling, or when life starts to feel heavier than you can carry on your own, asking for help can feel overwhelming. You do not have to navigate it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing anxiety, behavioral and emotional challenges, life transitions, school related concerns, family conflict, and trauma. Together, we will build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change that helps you or your loved one feel more confident, connected, and supported.

I help children, adolescents, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, bipolar disorder, grief, and life’s challenges so they can feel more confident, resilient, and connected to themselves. If you’ve spent years taking care of everyone else and feel like you’ve lost yourself along the way, therapy can help you reconnect with your needs, build healthy coping skills, and move toward the life you want.
