I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 28 years of experience guiding individuals and families through their unique journeys toward emotional well-being. I received my Master’s of Science in Psychology from Western Illinois University in 1994 and have worked within a variety of settings with people of all ages addressing complex mental health issues.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing a wide range of challenges, and I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for healing and growth.

As a grandparent to three wonderful grandchildren, I appreciate the richness and complexity of family life at every stage. In my free time, I love to travel, explore new places, and immerse myself in different cultures. A lifelong reader, I find joy and insight in literature, and I often bring the wisdom of stories into my therapeutic practice. My passions for creativity, travel, and family help me understand the variety of experiences my clients bring, and I strive to honor each person’s individuality in my practice.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your path to greater well-being.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and New York. I received my Masters in Social Work from New York University and have been practicing for over 10 years. My experience includes helping children and young adults struggling with their emotions and relationships to find their strengths, accomplish their goals, manage their emotions, and helping them build a support system.

Hi, I’m Stephany. I work with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stress that can feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally drained, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or unsure how to move forward.

I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to open up to.

Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.

Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.

In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!

I’m a licensed therapist with experience in college mental health, working with adults and young professionals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things aren’t clicking the way they “should.” A lot of the people I work with are used to handling things on their own and may not have had a space before to slow down and really sort things out.

My own path into this work was shaped by personal experiences with mental health, which gives me a strong sense of how frustrating and isolating it can feel when things aren’t working and how meaningful it is when they start to shift.

I work with a wide range of individuals, including those navigating ADHD, anxiety, overthinking, high achievement pressure, identity development, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I aim to create a space that feels grounded, real, and inclusive, including for individuals from diverse backgrounds and those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Learn more at www.insitucounseling.com.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience in the field of social work and more than 10 years as a licensed clinician. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Social Work and have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families overcome life’s challenges and achieve emotional well-being.

My background includes extensive experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and other emotional or behavioral concerns.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience in behavioral therapy, case management, and patient advocacy across hospitals, community health centers, and government agencies. I enjoy working with and supporting underserved and diverse populations. I hold a Master of Social Work with a specialization in healthcare.

Welcome! Join me on a journey to reclaim your sense of self, direction and empowerment. As a person who has struggled with life's hardships, I am compeled to help others in these difficult times. My credentials include; Licensed Professional Counselor (LCPC), Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) and an Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professional (ICDVP).

My style is eclectic and strength based. I see human nature as intrinsically good. Sigmund Freud said we are bio-social animals. I believe a great deal in listening to one’s self talk. The more positive our dialogue with ourselves is, the more positive our dialogues with others and our lives are. I’m also experienced in CBT, DBT, MI, Solution Focused, ACT, Gestalt, Interpersonal, and person-centered counseling.

My training includes lots of wonderful supervision and workshops, a three-year certificate from the Gestalt Institute of Chicago, and two one month intensives with Virginia Satir, the founder of family therapy. Virginia taught that exploring the self is like mining gold. We all have gold inside of us. That is our basic goodness. A lot of emotional suffering is the result of being detoured from that basic goodness.

True wellness is a commitment to your best self. But what do you do if you don’t know what that looks like? When is the last time you had the space to reflect on your life and goals? Do you find yourself unbalanced due to life’s changes and in need of a reset? Meet with me! Let’s develop a plan for you to see yourself clearly. I utilize client-centered approaches with science-supported interventions. I won’t leave your wellness up to chance, let’s work together to make a change.

Welcome to my profile page - I'm so glad you are here!

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or have years of experience working with a mental health practitioner, I commend you for taking a step towards positive change.

Life can present even the strongest people with challenging obstacles. Perhaps you want to improve your relationships, quiet your inner critic, let go of perfectionism, live a more purposeful life, or overcome your anxiety? I'm here to help.

Meaningful change requires courage and curiosity. With genuine kindness, compassion (and sometimes a little humor), I can help you achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in the software and retail manufacturing industries. I believe it was my listening and problem-solving skills and my sincere interest in people's unique life stories that eventually lead me to this role.
