Depression Therapists in Illinois

Hi! မင်္ဂလာပါ! My name is Sandy and I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing counseling to teenagers (12+) and adults in Illinois. My past clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults, and veterans, especially those with past trauma and/or those who struggle with anxiety and depression. I also am passionate about working with immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ community members and multicultural populations. I especially believe in providing support for these populations as they are often systematically underserved and overlooked in behavioral health and healthcare. My therapeutic approach is informed by social justice, empathy, cultural humility, and respect for diversity. I believe in creating a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their experiences, process their trauma, and reclaim their sense of agency and resilience. Being an immigrant myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and difficulties of immigrating and navigating life in a new country while preserving one's cultural identity. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), humanistic therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I work collaboratively with clients to address the unique challenges they face, including acculturative stress, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma. My goal is to empower clients to heal from their past experiences, help end cycles of trauma and cultivate a sense of resilience in their lives. As a therapist, I enjoy creating a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, thoughts, and emotions without judgment or biases. I hope empower clients to heal from their past experiences and help them move closer towards their goals. If you're ready, feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute free consultation call.

Hello! My name is Latavia and I work with a team of dedicated therapists that want to support you and the community. Let us collaborate as we nurture your growth. You do not have to be alone.

"I am a dedicated psychiatrist serving children, adolescents, and adults in Champaign, Illinois. I offer both in-person and virtual consultations starting from age 3, and I am licensed in both Illinois and Ohio. My mission is simple: to help my patients not just survive, but truly thrive. When working with young children, my focus is on minimizing the use of psychotropic medications unless absolutely necessary. I conduct a thorough 90-minute interview with both the child and their parents to gain a comprehensive understanding of their needs. If appropriate, I collaborate with the child’s therapists, school counselors, social workers, and teachers to advocate for their mental health within the educational system. I believe early intervention is crucial in addressing psychiatric disorders, often leading to the best outcomes and even full remission. For college students, I provide personalized psychiatric care aimed at enhancing emotional and cognitive functioning. Having immigrated to the U.S. during high school and attended UCLA for my undergraduate studies, I understand the pressures and stresses faced in competitive environments like UIUC. I specialize in supporting students from diverse cultural backgrounds as they adjust to the U.S. college system, and I am happy to collaborate with parents for additional support if they wish. With adult patients, I pay special attention to managing drug-drug interactions and the interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. My aim is to improve productivity while minimizing the cognitive and metabolic side effects associated with psychotropic medications. I also believe in incorporating holistic and integrative medicine when appropriate. To ensure accessibility during challenging times, I maintain a few urgent care slots for after-hours and weekend appointments. I specialize in treating a wide range of conditions, including bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, substance abuse, autism, OCD, eating disorders, psychosis, marijuana use disorder, alcohol use disorder, mood disorders, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, developmental disorders, fetal alcohol syndrome, treatment-refractory depression, anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders, dementia, cultural psychiatry, dysthymia, dyslexia, bedwetting, social anxiety, school refusal, nightmares, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, intermittent explosive disorder, borderline personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, bipolar II, schizoaffective disorder, drug-induced akathisia, conversion disorder, video game addiction, internet addiction, fibromyalgia, sports psychiatry, and career guidance.

Beginning counseling can be a very different experience. Becoming comfortable enough to discuss personal and difficult topics about your life is not always easy. I understand, as a person who has been in counseling myself, which is why I became a counselor. I know that faith can be an important part of people's walk in life and can integrate concepts of faith into counseling based on each individuals preference. I also realize that others wish to focus just on the therapeutic concepts that will aid their journey. I want to engage with you where you are and process all that is currently occurring in your life. I have found that through my journey of becoming a counselor that I want to help those who have experienced trauma. I also want to help those who struggle with addiction to aid in their changes they are pursuing. I want to be a support to relationships that are experiencing difficulty and are hoping for restoration as well as ending relationships well. The other issues that I can provide service for are anxiety, depression, and general life difficulties. I want to provide a peaceful and engaging experience that will help you on your journey to complete health. No matter what brings you to counseling you will be cared for. Please reach out via email, text, or phone to begin that process for your health.
