Janell McGruder

Janell McGruder

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I enjoy working with individuals through the journey of achieving the goals they have with counseling or even just helping them figure out their goals. I feel like individuals are who they are based on their experiences and that when we give them time to view experiences from a holistic view point, they will recognize that they are powerful.


Counseling is not something that is necessarily a quick fix, but you will hopefully walk away with some insight on how you can move forward in a positive and healthy manner.


I recognize the impact being a member of a marginalized group can have on someone and respect the needs of all of these populations. I look forward to answering any of your questions and assisting you on your journey.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I am an LCSW Catholic Therapist with over 5 years of experience. I enjoy combining a faith-centered approach with EMDR, IFS, and somatic work. I've witnessed many patients find healing with this approach and look forward to continuing to help those in need! In IFS the ultimate healing happens when we can operate in Imago Dei, that is, being the image and likeness of Christ. In my practice, we will work towards unpacking what is getting in the way of that freedom.

I offer a kind, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, or simply the weight of trying to hold everything together on your own. My goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported as we work through what is weighing on you. Therapy with me is about creating a space where you do not have to have all the answers right away - just a willingness to begin.
