Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

Hi, I'm Camila. I'd like to congratulate you for seeking support. Exploring couples therapy can be really scary - especially during tough times in our relationships - and the fact that you’re here looking for help is real proof that you have more strength and courage than you know. My mission is to help couples build a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy, and I'm committed to helping you and your partner make that a reality. I consider myself a warm, transparent, and very intuitive therapist. I will meet you both where you are with compassion, kindness, and curiosity, no matter how long you choose to stay in couples therapy. With that being said, I will also present perspectives that will challenge you and stretch you. Growth requires change, and if we want our relationships to change, we must be willing to be challenged and take risks. I pledge that in our work together, we will create a space for you and your partner to be as fluid as you need to be and as defined as you hope to be. This is an opportunity for growth, and I'd love to be part of your journey!

I have been practicing since 2015. Trained in EMDR, CBT, CPT

Do you feel burned out or stuck in a life that no longer works for you? Does your body feel pained, exhausted, or overly anxious. Do you feel like a phony or that the real you hasn't yet emerged. Well, you've only been this age once. Maybe it's time to give your life an overhaul. Somatic psychology is a cutting-edge approach that works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a big meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside. The core of my work uses Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach grounded in neuroscience and the latest in trauma-informed research. It works to discharge bound survival energy, disrupt tension patterns, and reset and revitalize the nervous system. Somatic therapy pairs extremely well with psychedelic work to accelerate the process of healing. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment patterns, and a psychodynamic approach into my work. My main areas of specialization are: - Authentic Career Adaptation - Attachment Strategies in Relationships - Chronic Pain and Health Conditions - Psychedelic Integration - Owning your Identity (LGBT and other) Whether you are new to therapy or have spent years talking about your problems without improvement, you may have been using the wrong approach. If you'd like to learn more about my approach and why it can be more effective than talk therapy, visit my website and schedule a free 30-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I am a licensed therapist in the state of Illinois with over 12 years of clinical experience. I have expertise in working with addictions and the families impacted by it. I spent 5 years of my career as a clinical coordinator for an addiction PHP/IOP and have brought my dynamic skill set to the individual therapy setting. I also have extensive experience treating trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and ADHD.   My approach is calm and laid back as I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment. I recognize that beginning therapy can be daunting and easy to talk yourself out of. I believe that my experience and approach will help to put you at ease and as well as to clarify what your objectives are. I will be honest with you if I can help you and I will lay out the exact framework that you can expect in order to get there. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about how I can help you!

I'm Sandra Jordan, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. The greatest lesson I've learned is that the most beautiful person you can be is yourself. Day to day we're faced with traditional/societal "norms" and told if you step outside this box you've somehow fallen short. Many face depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, destructive perfectionism, and more just trying to "measure up". I became a therapist to help people push through to better mental health and wellness. My approach to the client-therapist relationship is to provide a safe space. I encourage healthy displays of emotions. I believe it's okay to laugh or cry - it's okay to dream big and admit failures. I give room for you to speak your truth without fear of judgement. What to expect from Day 1 - we'll speak about steps you can take to immediately begin redefining your vision of yourself, your life and any stumbling blocks that may be before you. We'll make an initial plan on how we can work together to break negative cycles and tear down barriers that prevent you from thriving as your authentic self.
