Welcome, and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Corliss Ivy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider, with over 18 years of experience caring for people. I work closely with people who want to take the best care of themselves as possible, and identify barriers that interfere with their ability to create the life they want.
I have an bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a master's degree in Counseling & Human Services from Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. I completed post-graduate training in the Advanced Psychodynamic Fellowship in Clinical Practice with the University of Chicago, Social Service Administration.
I celebrate clients' unique strengths and motives towards self-care. While I integrate the latest findings in psychodynamic psychotherapy, interpersonal neurobiology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness, the core of my work center around partnering with clients to build a therapeutic relationship where they feel safe, supported, and deeply valued.
I welcome questions, thoughts, or an opportunity to connect and think together about how I can best support you!

I don't think I can thank her enough for all she has got me through. Amazing counselor and very active listener.

Corliss does a great job with not only creating q comfortable space to open up, but is great at empathizing and helping you address your specific needs. Corliss is also very accommodating with schedule. Highly recommend

I have been through quite a few therapists but Corliss is the best one I’ve had. She listens carefully, validates you & gives insightful views on what can help. She has already helped me in the short time we have worked together and I look forward to our therapy sessions.
