      <image:caption>Marissa Faustini, LCPC Starting therapy can be daunting. People often seek a therapist because they are experiencing distress of some kind. This distress can take many shapes: anxiety, grief, difficulty moving through a big life event, coping with a chronic medical or mental health condition, relationship issues, workplace stress and burnout, isolation. My approach to therapy involves creating a safe and supportive space to look at and learn from this distress. This may involve finding patterns that have kept you struggling, healing from past harms, and exploring and expanding your existing strengths. I see therapy as both a tool to alleviate distress and pain and a vehicle for deeper self-reflection and authenticity. In my work I am committed to building warm and nonjudgmental spaces with people who may have previously struggled to access a therapy they found affirming or effective. I strive to create a relationship that honors your unique personhood. I recognize that the search for a therapist and reaching out can be a vulnerable experience. Finding the right fit is important! I welcome you to contact me with any questions and to find out if we might be a good fit for your unique needs and goals.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sarah Durkin, LCPC It’s my belief that almost everyone can benefit from therapy if they are interested. Whether wanting a neutral support to process feelings, help navigate specific struggles, or improve overall wellness, therapy can help you achieve your goals. I hold a Masters Degree in Community Counseling from Loyola University and have over ten years of clinical experience working in a myriad of environments &amp; populations. I most frequently work with teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach including CBT and person-centered techniques to identify what most helps you succeed. Starting something new can be difficult, but with the right clinician who is willing to build that comfortable and effective therapeutic relationship, improved wellness can be achieved!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Inas Abuhasna, LCPC You won't hear "It's going to be okay, I know how you feel, you will get over it" when you come to me. I understand that the hour you pay for is your hour and you will get the chance to say whatever it is that you want to say guilt-free. Saying things out loud to a trained listener will help you understand your world view in a different way. In turn, you will develop insight and coping skills. I have experience working with clients dealing with anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, dysfunctional relationships, parental challenges and behavioral challenges. I, also, work with children individually using play and art therapy techniques to develop emotional understanding and increase their ability for regulation. Going through therapy offers a chance to be free of emotional pain and the ability to find meaning in your relationships, work, and all other life areas. By creating a safe environment and a collaborative relationship, we can work together in finding your own solutions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Omsiah Alghadban, LPC Opening up to someone is not always easy, especially if it is someone you do not know. In sessions, we work together to build a therapeutic relationship so you can feel at ease and comfortable sharing your experiences with me. You will always feel supported and cared for in our sessions. I will lend an ear when you need it most. I offer a safe non-judgemental space for all my clients. A place for you to feel comfortable enough to share anything and everything. I use an integrated approach to our sessions because I believe therapeutic interventions are not one size fits all.
