I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and parents navigate life's challenges and discover their inherent strengths. My professional background includes experience working with clients to address a wide range of concerns, from feeling overwhelmed to navigating relationship, and parenting struggles. I specialize in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. In our work together, I focus on collaborative care designed to guide you toward growth, healing, and revitalization.
Hello! My name is Chariee Reason and it's a pleasure to meet you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost a decade of experience in the field.
My approach to therapy is holistic and integrative, recognizing the connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. While grief counseling is a strong area of focus in my practice, I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and life transitions. I blend evidence-based therapeutic strategies with mindfulness, self-awareness, and holistic practices to help clients heal, gain clarity, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful and empowering ways.
Hello! My name is Zachary! I am happy you visited my profile. Before you begin browsing, I just want to say you are strong and you have incredible power in you to journey towards healing. I believe in your success and your potential.
I received my Bachelor of Arts at Goshen College and my Master of Social Work at Andrews University. I am a LCSW in Indiana, LISW in Ohio, and a LSCSW in Kansas.
I have experience in care management and facilitation, providing counseling to juveniles on probation, delivering therapy to those who have been court ordered, doing home-based clinical services, implementing and administering Family Centered Treatment© to families, hospice social work, community mental health, certified clinical behavioral health clinics, conducting counseling to geriatric and SPMI populations, as well as telehealth.
My strength is my warmth and quickness in building a trusting where my clients are truly cared for. I am creative with collaborating on solutions, creative in the interventions I choose. I am thoughtful in making meaningful connections within the material processed.
I am a well-rounded therapist with both practical CBT skills and a training in family systems theory background.
I have 3 years of experience working within welfare services for children, parents, and within the foster care system, with experience navigating difficult circumstances.
If you struggle with depression, anxiety and trauma, I would be honored to help guide you through your healing journey.
I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.
I did not stumble into this work — I chose it, and I choose it every day. I am Bianca Gist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana.
I am also a former collegiate athlete, and that background shapes how I show up — I know what it feels like to carry a lot and still need someone genuinely in your corner. My experience is rooted in the spaces where people need the most and are often given the least — Chicago Public Schools, foster care, home-based services, and community mental health. Through my private practice, Her Sole Purpose LLC, I work with children, adolescents, student-athletes, and families using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I use what works for the person in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work well with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of environments that were not built for them. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward — not just cope.
If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.
First let me say I went into therapy after a lot of my own problems in life and I wanted to understand why I struggled so much. Currently I specialize in relationship counseling, PTSD, anxiety, and grief/loss. Everyone's mind is shaped by their experiences, environment, personality, and a variety of other factors. I recently retired from the VA after 17 years of working with veterans and their struggles. There rest of the time I was in community care working with individuals and families. I understand that it can be hard to ask for help but the most resilient people I know have been the ones that want to keep discovering what is underneath the surface. It's not easy to figure it out yourself. That's why I do what I do! I love to help people unlock the mysteries in their heads. I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you if you think we would be a good fit. I DO NOT JUDGE..that is not my job nor my nature. My job is to uplift and assist you in finding your way to an improved quality of life.
