You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or carrying the impact of trauma or stress that feels hard to manage on your own. Maybe family challenges or past experiences are affecting your relationships, your confidence, or your ability to feel like yourself. When everything feels heavy or uncertain, it can be hard to know where to start. You don’t have to figure it out alone — therapy can be a place where you feel supported, understood, and able to finally exhale.

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.

Therapist

If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety for longer than you can remember, you're not alone.

I've spent 12 years as a licensed counselor in Chicago working with people of all ages, from young children to seniors. What keeps me in this work is the moment a client realizes they've been surviving something hard, and that there's a different way forward.

I have a particular passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum struggles, families dealing with grief and loss, and adults working through trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients were looking for someone who would be real with them, not just professional. That's what you'll find here.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing leadership and healthcare operations. After serving as a Chief Nursing Officer, I chose to transition into psychiatric care because I wanted to work more directly with individuals and families. I recently completed my PMHNP training and bring experience supporting people across the lifespan, from children through older adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and addiction.

Alicia Redmond

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My professional background includes providing psychotherapy in private-practice and juvenile-justice settings, where I have supported adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I use trauma-informed, strength-based, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches tailored to each client’s needs. As someone who values faith, resilience, family, and personal growth, I understand the importance of feeling genuinely seen and supported during difficult seasons. When requested, I offer faith-sensitive care that respectfully incorporates a client’s Christian beliefs. My strength is creating a safe environment where clients can process difficult experiences, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
