James M Veltman

James M Veltman

Therapist

Virtual • Grayslake, IL


I'm Jim Veltman, and I've been doing this work for over 40 years. I love helping people grow and I believe deep healing from inner wounds is possible. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Grayslake, Illinois. I see clients in person, and I work with clients across the state through telehealth. I see adults, teens, and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the complicated weight of struggling relationships. My background is grounded in both psychological training and a belief that healing isn't just clinical — it's deeply human, and often spiritual. If faith is part of your life, that's welcome here. If it's not, that's completely fine too. What matters is that we do honest, real work together.
