When overwhelmed, many reach for ways to cope with distress. Sadly, that seemingly helpful behavior may become an addiction causing even more distress than ever before. Overcoming an addiction to substances, technology, or the like, doesn’t have to be done alone. For many, after the addiction is managed, the distress of the original problem remains, such as depression, anxiety, trauma or other mental health symptoms. I believe that the journey to recovery doesn’t stop when addictive behaviors cease, but rather in a holistic approach that addresses the issues that led to the consequences of addiction.

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.

My name is Kim Kriks and I am the practice owner and clinical therapist at Hopeful Humans Counseling. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Sociology with a minor in Applied Behavioral Science from the University of Kansas. I furthered my education by earning a master's degree in Social Work and PEL endorsement from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My main focus in my clinical practice is providing counseling for children under 10 years old, working with adolescents, and offering parenting support. Additionally, I have received training in women's issues and perinatal mental health. Before establishing Hopeful Humans Counseling, I served as the clinical director and therapist for six years at a private practice located in Downers Grove, IL and New Lenox, IL. I  also have a decade of experience as a school social worker, working with children of all ages, including those in early childhood programs and early intervention programs. My therapeutic approach is primarily influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systems Theory. I strongly believe that families have the best understanding of their own situation, and I am there to offer guidance and strategies during challenging times. Outside of counseling others, I enjoy canoe camping in the Boundary Waters and going on bike rides with my husband and son to the local farmer's market.

“Our daily lives can be challenging, but there are so many ways and opportunities for us to heal and grow. With an open mind and open heart, I seek to provide guidance to my clients, as they navigate through the process of self-discovery and resolution. By creating a space of empowerment, ambition, and confidence for my clients.” Danielle earned an undergraduate degree from Indiana University and an MSW from NYU. Her experiences at NYU inspired many areas of interest, including trauma/crisis therapy for adolescents and adults. Danielle has worked closely as a case manager for incarcerated juveniles/young adults, offering legal advocacy, future planning sessions, and social emotional support through correspondence. Danielle is currently working as a full-time high school social worker, and has training in harassment, bullying, discrimination prevention and intervention in schools. She also has her Professional Educators Licensure in the state of Illinois as well as her Professional Educators Certificate in the state of New York. Danielle believes that therapy must be individually crafted, and there is not a “one size fits all” approach. We each walk are own unique path, and sometimes we need support. Being different is an integral part of human life. In therapy, Danielle creates a warm and supportive environment, and incorporates psychotherapeutic training, and mindfulness into treatment plans. Her goal is to provide her clients the tools/techniques to help them progress and move forward in life.
