Therapy Session in Illinois

Hi, I’m Kendall. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who’s passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including schools, hospitals, and community care—and I bring that broad experience into my work with children, teens, and adults. My approach is collaborative and grounded in compassion. Whether you’re navigating a tough transition, feeling overwhelmed, or hoping to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on beneath the surface and build on the strengths you already have. Clients often describe me as calm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. I’ll meet you where you are and support you in moving forward with care and intention.

I am an experienced counselor who graduated from Bradley University and have worked with all ages and issues. I believe in treating the person holistically and from a mind, body, emotions, and spirit place. I worked mostly from a developmental humanistic approach. I have specialized training and experience with trauma including being certified in EMDR. I create a safe, open, nonjudgmental, space for people to heal and grow.

Hi, I’m Elaine Smith. I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, but more than that, I’m someone who believes in the power of healing, hope, and second chances. My passion is helping people move beyond the weight of trauma, anxiety, and life’s challenges so they can discover their strength and feel whole again. I know that reaching out for help isn’t always easy. That’s why I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. Together, we’ll explore your story at your pace, and I’ll walk alongside you as you navigate the hard parts and celebrate your progress. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, because I believe therapy should reflect who you are and honor your lived experiences. At the heart of it all, I see counseling as more than just sessions, it’s a journey of building resilience, finding your voice, and stepping into the life you deserve.
