I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 13 years of experience. I am Latina and bilingual in Spanish. I graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology with a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology. I have worked as a therapist in a variety of clinical settings. I have provided individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy in a private practice setting and have worked with children, adolescents, and adults.
I believe healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships. Whether I’m working with a child through play, supporting parents, or helping adults understand their relational patterns, my work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration.
I have extensive experience working with children and families, particularly around attachment-related concerns, including families formed through foster care and adoption. I also enjoy working with adults who want to better understand how early relational experiences may still influence their relationships today.
I am trained in the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), a research-based interview that can help adults explore how early experiences shape the way they connect with others. When appropriate, I can integrate this perspective into our therapy work together.
Hola! I’m Oli, a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with 10+ years of experience and founder of OLS Therapy Boutique—Curated Care for Every Season of Life. I specialize in supporting Latinx individuals and couples as they navigate experiences and life transitions.
I founded OLS Therapy Boutique to offer culturally responsive, neurodivergence-affirming therapy for professionals seeking balance through adulthood, parenthood, career growth, and evolving identity.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 6 states who earned her Master's of Social Work degree from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale in 2006. I have over 15 years of experience in working with children, families, and adults suffering from mental health issues and trauma. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychotherapy, Behavioral Intervention, Interpersonal therapy, Family Therapy, and Grief and Loss Therapy.
I am a compassionate therapist that looks forward to being a small part of a client's journey to healing and self-discovery. My passion for psychology was fueled by gender-based violence like domestic violence and sexual abuse. My specialty is working with trauma, depression, anxiety, and maternal mental health. I strive to understand the unique intersections of each client and how it shapes our experiences.
Feeling truly understood can be life changing, especially when you have spent so much of your life feeling like you have to explain yourself. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or exploring your identity, therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward the life you want to create. I work with adults and couples throughout the Chicagoland area, with a special passion for supporting LGBTQ clients and fellow immigrants as they build healthier relationships, greater self compassion, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Are you exhausted from overthinking, replaying past conversations, and mentally rehearsing future ones before they happen? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience guiding adults through difficult life transitions, uncertainty, and burnout. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and empowering, paired with a dose of humor. I partner with clients to dismantle the subconscious patterns that hinder progress. I will equip you with practical and effective tools needed to break free from stagnation and achieve meaningful, long-lasting personal growth.
I have over 15 years of experience providing counseling services and have worked well with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Illinois
Searching for therapists in Illinois starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Illinois has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available specialties may vary by location. You might look for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare Illinois therapists, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience with concerns like yours. Some therapists may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
Practical fit matters, too. If you live in Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, or another part of Illinois, consider whether in-person or virtual sessions work better for your schedule and location. A therapist with evening virtual appointments may be a better match if travel time is hard to plan, while an office near home or work may matter more if you prefer in-person care. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their communication style. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand what sessions may be like.
The cost of Illinois therapy can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and your exact coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
