As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.
Hi! I'm Amy. From my background in early childhood education, to my master's in counseling from the University of North Texas, from an internship with an addiction-focused residential site to EMDR training to clinical leadership in a partial hospitalization program, I use my wide breadth of experience to inform my practice.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over 15 years of experience supporting adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, self-worth, and relationship challenges, and I also work with couples seeking stronger communication and connection. My style is warm, collaborative, and relational, creating a space where you can show up as you are. Together, we’ll understand the patterns keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with ages 6 and up on anxiety, depression and life changes.
Hi, I’m Marilia. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard and respected. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life changes, and emotional pain. My goal is to help you feel less alone, better understood, and more supported as you take steps toward healing.
Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.
Hi there! I'm Lauren a queer, neurodivergent woman who is passionate about supporting and empowering members of my communities. I have worked extensively with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, with teens and emerging adults, and with both perpetrators and survivors of domestic violence. I am EMDR trained and work frequently with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions. I am currently accepting individual clients ages 15 and up.
I am here to help you meet your personal goals regarding your mental health.
I was born and raised in Chicago, IL and I received my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University in Evanston IL.
I work with adults 18 and over, as well as couples. I work with clients with PTSD, complex and developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, coping skills, stress, relationship issues, sexual abuse, women’s issues, self esteem and life transitions.
