Sara Gonzalez

Sara Gonzalez

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I am a LCSW with more than 11 years of experience supporting individuals and families navigating life transitions. I earned my master's degree from the University of Chicago, where I focused on clinical practice and community based mental health.

My background includes work in foster care, community mental health, and supporting people navigating anxiety, stress, and major life changes. I’ve spent much of my career helping clients build emotional resilience, strengthen identity, and feel more grounded in their daily lives.

I work with adults, teens, and caregivers, and I bring a collaborative, down to earth style to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Marlene Pena

Marlene Pena

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


As a first-generation Mexican-American therapist and clinical social worker, I believe that the identities I hold as well as my professional and community-oriented experiences have influenced the way I approach therapy. I have seen firsthand how our emotional wellbeing is greatly influenced by the relationships, culture, communities, and larger systems that surround us. Throughout my clinical practice, I've had the honor of working with clients from diverse racial/ethnic and cultural backgrounds, particularly those that identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+, in a variety of settings, including nonprofit, inpatient, and a university counseling center.

My experience spans across the lifespan, working with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating the complexities of life transitions, generational family patterns, estranged or strained relationships, chronic stress/burnout, and trauma. I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults who are navigating first and second-generation experiences, identity development, family and cultural expectations, relational and intergenerational wounds, life transitions, and anxiety/OCD. I also work well with college students seeking support around adjustment-related concerns, interpersonal issues, identity exploration, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, and uncertainty about the post-grad transition.

Christopher Akel

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I believe that psychotherapy is a special kind of health care. It can help you better understand yourself and others, work with and expand limits in your life, and help you better cope with feelings and challenges. I use many strategies to surface and explore deeper motivations flowing beneath our experience, with a special emphasis on our emotions. I am an LCSW therapist with 3+ years of therapy in Illinois. I am a male and Arab-identifying former teacher, and I seek to build a relationship of safety and trust with each person I work with.
