Emotionally Focused (EFT) Therapists in Illinois

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!

Hi, I’m Tanya. I am a psychotherapist, but you can call me a loving, curious, exploratory, and playful cat or a heart-soul coach. Life is hard, I learned to be playful, and not take myself too seriously. I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of the healing journey.

Hello there! I'm Kristina Francia, a licensed clinical professional counselor and the proud owner of Green Root Therapy. I established my practice in the summer of 2021 with a clear vision in mind: to create a therapeutic space where my clients are seen as unique individuals rather than mere numbers.

Jalinia Logan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialty as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) who believes in treating the whole person including biopsychosocial, physical, and spiritual. She works to help people with improvement towards mental and physical health. Because she has worked as a Licensed Nurse and Psychotherapist, she is able to assist people with making the connection between mental health impacts on physical health and well-being.

I work with individuals who need to process through their trauma in order to move forward in life and find themselves stuck. I initially use color therapy to show us which traumatic memories have not yet been processed, as a way to get straight to the source of what is troubling us. I work with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, body image issues, disordered eating, panic attacks, low self-esteem, decreased levels of happiness, life transitions, and issues with relationships. The overall goal is to find peace, happiness, and love within the self. This will then reflect into one's outside world. I focus on processing trauma that is being stored in the body and how this has changed the way the client sees themselves and their world. I work with the client by helping them process events, tear down old narratives that negatively affect how you live your life today, and rebuild a new narrative that allows a person to live the life they were meant to. I provide a non-judgmental environment that believes all of the knowledge to heal is within the self. I like to view myself as your stepping stone through your healing journey and I am so excited to begin this journey with you. I offer complimentary 15 min. screening calls to see if we would be a good fit, so please reach out!
