Accepting new clients! Hi There! My name is Olivia and I want to let you know I understand that life can be challenging much more than we can handle. However, by doing some therapy, your perspective may shift to your benefit and you’d be closer to meeting your goals. If things are little more complicated, we may need a little more than just few sessions. Whatever your need I am sure we can sort it out and discuss in more detail. I would love to hear from you! I am currently accepting patients virtually. I mainly use a client centered approach, allowing you to unpack your worries in the order you desire to release and share. I ask questions, as needed to progress towards the goals you desire to meet. Modalities I use include: Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy. Aside from being a therapist, I'm also a mother to three wonderful children and have been married since 2010. I have had my own trials and tribulations and I understand what it's like to be on the other side of the therapeutic process. My own journey has allowed me to better connect and understand humans on a deeper level.

Are you anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted by the state of the world? Let's make it feel easier together. With over 10+ years experience, I specialize in supporting adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Panic, and Sex-related concerns through collaborative, compassionate, and results-driven therapy and coaching. I focus on restoring a sense of safety, clarity, and agency in an increasingly overwhelming world using evidence-based practices and customizing sessions to tailor to your specific needs. Let's work together to curate the change you want for yourself and your future, one simple step at a time. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, chronically stressed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking, masking, or emotional exhaustion. I work collaboratively with my clients to set goals, process emotions, and untangle the grief of living through the world as it currently is. As a Pakistani-American daughter of immigrants, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I understand how cultural expectations, intergenerational dynamics, and systemic stress can affect us. If you are ready to stop simply surviving and start feeling steady and hopeful, let's start building a better reality for you, together.

College can be an exciting time, but it also comes with challenges—academic stress, big life transitions, relationship struggles, and pressure to figure out the future. Many students I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to manage their emotions and responsibilities. Some struggle with anxiety that makes it hard to focus, depression that drains their motivation, or past experiences that continue to impact their daily life. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I specialize in helping young adults work through anxiety, depression, and trauma using an integrative, practical approach. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, develop strategies to help you feel more in control, and work toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, gain clarity, and build confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Hi, I am a Licensed Social Worker. I offer years of experience working with people 16-90 years of age. I strive to learn and grow in order to be the most help for the people who come to me for services. My desire to gain knowledge has led me to studying narrative therapy, which pulls from people's desired way of being in the world in order to create movement. I have also studied problems around alcohol, drugs and sexuality. This interest has led me to be certified as a sex therapist as well as certified addiction specialist. I have offered sex therapy for the past seven years, and substance use therapy for over twenty years.

My personal passion is connecting with those who feel like no one really understands them. I can empathize, as several times in my life I have had those very same feelings.

With years of experience providing therapy for members of the LGBTQ+ community, clients struggling with spirituality, sexuality, or addiction(s); these topics are my passion and where I have been able to help others navigate.

I believe it is important to help each client feel comfortable, valued, and respected during the therapeutic process. My approach focuses on partnering with you to find healing, hope and meaning in your life.

The hope of The Counseling Center of Great Lakes is to be able to offer support and encouragement to people in their communities by helping them find hope and healing through professional counseling. Hillary earned a Master of Arts in Counseling degree from Spring Arbor University (2020) and is licensed in the state of Michigan as a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) and the State of Illinois as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). After starting CCGL with her co-owners in 2020, her family transitioned to Illinois in 2024 and she began working at Monte Nido Chicago Day Treatment as a PHP/IOP Primary Therapist where she worked with clients who were in a higher level of care for eating disorders. Her experience working these different levels of care also provided further experience working with clients struggling with various mental illnesses including a variety of eating disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, OCD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and various personality disorders. After a year away, Hillary realized that she missed the atmosphere of private practice and CCGL, so she transitioned back and is currently seeing clients through telehealth exclusively. Hillary believes the counseling process is a mutually constructive effort between both the client and the counselor. Her approach to counseling is to gain understanding of the client as a whole person. In order for change to occur, the client must feel like they have the space to be their authentic selves. She offers interventions from various schools of treatment thought, choosing interventions based on their suitability and perceived benefit to the client and his or her stated goals. Hillary believes every client wants to feel seen and heard; and is honored to get to journey alongside her clients to offer hope and healing.

My name is Erick Pena. I struggled with depression and anxiety for about 20 years, and it wasn't until I read a book called "Getting Past Your Past" by Francine Shapiro that everything started to make sense. As a therapist, I offer traditional talk therapy, but I am incredibly passionate about EMDR therapy. I believe that in the same way talk and EMDR therapy have helped me deal with the negative symptoms that plagued my life for so long, they can also help you.
