Qiana Randall-Thompson

Qiana Randall-Thompson

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a Master's degree in Community Counseling. I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our authentic selves. My approach to mental wellness is holistic, recognizing the connection between our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and overall well-being.

As a mental health professional, transformational leader, and certified executive coach, I bring a compassionate, collaborative perspective to helping women navigate life's challenges. I understand that being the person everyone depends on can sometimes leave little room to care for yourself. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.


I work with women across the lifespan who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. Together, we'll explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, establish healthy boundaries, and build greater self-awareness.


I believe you are more than the challenges you're facing. Therapy is an opportunity to invest in yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. You just have to be willing to take the first step.

Beth Ross

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


With nearly thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) I bring warmth and a genuine commitment to helping people move forward in their lives.

I work with a wide range of ages, from teens and young adults, to older individuals who find themselves at a crossroad and looking to make a change. Anxiety, Depression and Executive Functioning are several of the issues I cover. I also have a particular interest in Family Therapy, including the unique challenges that come with divorce and co-parenting.

I feel change really happens when we shift our attention toward new possibilities. I draw from a blend of cognitive therapy and interactive techniques tailored for the individuality of each client. My style is warm, direct, and often infused with humor, an essential part of healing.

I am highly responsive and profoundly invested in the well-being of every client.
