Aetna Therapists in Illinois

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Addictions Counselor, and Certified Trauma Professional with nearly 15 years of experience in the helping field. I am currently undergoing certification in hypnotherapy to expand my ability to help those in need. I have experience in working with children, adolescents, and adults who may be experiencing difficulties in a single area in their lives or who may need assistance with learning how to manage struggles in many areas of their lives.

Let's collaborate to untangle how your past connects to your present and find a balance that allows you to feel like yourself again. I am passionate about supporting adults, kids/teens, couples and families in their journey to heal the things that are keeping them stuck by highlighting their strengths and building resilience. The things needed to heal, are already within you. I offer both solution-focused interventions aimed at easing your emotional discomfort and long-term depth work. I create a safe space for you to come as you are, while helping you identify the ways in which you want to grow. Along with traditional psychotherapy, I offer yoga therapy, which incorporates: somatics, gentle movements, manifesting, breathwork, mindfulness, relaxation, spirituality. Utilizing the mind-body connection allows you to express the things your mind won't allow you to. Clients can leave sessions feeling grounded, hopeful, and empowered. I see clients in both IL and TX.

As a Harvard-trained physician with a Master of Science in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University, I've had the privilege of delivering lectures for prestigious organizations like The American Psychiatric Association. My primary aim is to empower you to thrive, moving beyond mere day-to-day management. I am deeply committed to equipping you with the knowledge you need to make well-informed choices regarding your health. Within a female-centered approach, I provide medication management and psychotherapy, prioritizing your well-being at the core of our work together. I firmly believe that women deserve exceptional support and care from the onset of menses through menopause. Our collaboration is based on a partnership, and I am dedicated to ensuring you feel genuinely acknowledged, supported, and heard throughout your journey. Additionally, I am deeply passionate about social justice and the exploration of racial and maternal healthcare issues. A significant portion of my practice is devoted to assisting women of color in navigating the unique challenges they face while seeking top-quality, culturally sensitive medical care. As a reproductive psychiatrist, I possess extensive expertise and training to guide you through hormonally-driven life transitions with evidence-based care.

Hi, my name is Dr. Celia and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who opened my practice to help those who want to make a change in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma across the lifespan, which is how I know how significantly our brains and bodies can shift after a difficult event and/or a series of difficult life circumstances. Therapy is a space for us to explore how our past informs who we are. Being able to form meaningful relationships is a key part of our mental wellness, but it isn’t always so easy to do. Reach out for a consultation if you would like help making a change.

It is my sincere belief that we are all just trying to do the best we can to make it through this thing called life, and life is hard. Sometimes life’s hardships result in trauma to you or your child, which can negatively impact emotions and behaviors. If your child is having difficulty managing their emotions or behavior, or if you are an adult who is experiencing emotional or behavioral dysregulation, I can help. I’m here to help guide the journey towards healing, whether it’s healing for yourself, your child, or your whole family.

Working from a feminist theoretical perspective, I feel that your unique voice deserves to be believed, be heard, and be taken seriously. I believe in creating a trusted space in which you feel comfortable to work through your difficulties, without fear of judgment or discrimination. My area of specialty is addiction. I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I am also able to treat addictive behaviors such as gambling or spending. I have experience working with both individuals and groups struggling with severe addictions. I am able to connect you with higher levels of care if you need more support in your recovery beyond the outpatient level. I also specialize in LGBTQ+ and women's issues, specifically with transgender folks. I have helped many clients begin their gender transitions, including hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgeries. Beyond my areas of specialty, I am able to work with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, personality disorders, and more. Let's see if we are a good fit! I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wayne State University in 2013, and my Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2019. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC), which is a board certification. I am fully licensed in Illinois as well (LCPC).

I believe everyone has the narrative to their own story and the answer they seek is within; sometimes it just needs a little compassionate digging. Because therapy isn't a life time based resource, I believe in empowering individuals to discover and develop their own inner and outer resource pool as well as explore new coping techniques to continue to build resilience, empowerment, and nurture self compassion. My approach is race informed, trauma informed, and LGBTQIA+ friendly.
