Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling, which complements my extensive clinical experience and informs my evidence-based, client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that each person possesses inherent value, resilience, and the capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward your personal goals.

Together, we will identify the issues that matter most to you, develop practical strategies for change, and build on your existing strengths to promote healing, resilience, and emotional well-being. Whether you are facing a current challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and hope.

Therapist

Feeling truly understood can be life changing, especially when you have spent so much of your life feeling like you have to explain yourself. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or exploring your identity, therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward the life you want to create. I work with adults and couples throughout the Chicagoland area, with a special passion for supporting LGBTQ clients and fellow immigrants as they build healthier relationships, greater self compassion, and a stronger sense of belonging.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I am Brittany Brookshire, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor working remotely with clients in Illinois and Missouri. I graduated in 2017 with a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Georgia, and I have worked as a school counselor and in private practice.

Many of my clients are between ages 18-50, and I often work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, and adult ADHD. I love being a part of peoples’ journeys through life, and I feel passionately about helping those going through (or healing from) life transitions, religious trauma, abusive relationships, uncertainty in life, grief, stress within marriages, or those just working to love or learn about themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working with children, families and people impacted by childhood, relational and systemic trauma. I believe the work that I get to do as a therapist is a calling from God (a path that I initially resisted, lol). I hope to offer you a safe holding space to unpack (in no particular order) the heavy and hard things that burden you; to help you manage the tension between the good and hard life that you have been given.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I’m Jada. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for adults across Illinois and Maine.

Many of the people I work with appear high functioning on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You might be navigating a life transition, relationship stress, identity questions, or a sense that something feels off even if it is hard to fully put into words.

I offer a space where you do not need to have everything figured out before you show up. We can slow things down together, make sense of what you are carrying, and begin to move toward something that feels more aligned.

I am especially drawn to working with clients around anxiety, identity, relationships, self trust, and life transitions, especially seasons that feel meaningful, uncertain, or hard to name. Much of my work lives in that space.

Outside of therapy, I spend time with my partner and our dog, Autumn, who brings joy, playfulness, and energy into my day and is a constant reminder not to take life too seriously.
