I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with over 10 years of experience counseling adults who are experience stressful life transitions, adjusting to recently diagnosed illnesses, or grieving a loss, questioning relationships and having difficulty engaging with others. My style as a therapist is warm, empathic, non-judgmental and client-centered. I work best with clients who are and open and willing to engage in the process of therapy. My counseling techniques consist of an eclectic mixture including existential theory, psychodynamic, narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Clients have their own very personal and unique challenges so there is never a one size fits all approach to treatment. Often in therapy, as you begin to experience inner grow, so too do the potential solutions that were previously deemed impossible challenges. One of my key roles is to empower you to connect, explore and apply your inner wisdom. You're sick and tired of wearing that mask and feel like you're starring as an extra in the lives of others. It's so easy to fall into a role that others expect of you. You don't want to let family and friends down so you fake that smile for their sake. You feel stuck and just want to feel better. I'm here to help you start making that happen! I look forward to our work together . Tom Malczyk

I am a counselor dedicated to seeing others not only grow and heal but also thrive. I love to guide others toward identifying and accomplishing their goals, and my practice flows from deep empathy and care for those I have the privilege of working with. From 2018-2021, I worked with individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, and because of that, I have had the opportunity to focus on the many issues related to recovery including trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions, anger management, and so much more! My counseling style is warm, conversational, and client directed. I strongly believe in meeting people where they are, and helping them get to where they want to go! I believe in creating an atmosphere that is judgment free and emotionally safe, because the best, most sustained changes happen when you are able to completely be yourself. Your past and present decisions and experiences do not have to define you; change is possible! You are the expert in your own life, and I believe that the key to success lies within you. Let's find it together. I look forward to working with you!

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist in Illinois, and for the past few years I’ve had the honor of supporting amazing kids, teens, and adults as they move through tough emotions like anxiety, depression, and self-doubt—and start to feel safer, stronger, and more confident in who they are. I’ve worked with people navigating all kinds of life experiences: everything from grief and trauma to relationship challenges, self-worth struggles, and major transitions like postpartum changes, gender identity exploration, or starting over in a new environment. I’ve also supported families through things like childhood behavioral concerns, emotional outbursts, perfectionism, and trauma recovery. My vibe in sessions? Think safe space meets deep healing meets gentle energy work. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection, and I love integrating Reiki and other calming tools into the process when it feels aligned for you or your child. I’ve always been that go-to friend or family member who wanted to help, problem-solve, and offer support from the heart. That deep care led me to become a social worker, and eventually a Certified Reiki Master Teacher. I completed my undergrad at Columbia College of Missouri and my master’s in social work at Aurora University. Whether we’re working together on stress, trauma, LGBTQ+ identity support, relationship concerns, or building confidence—my goal is to co-create a space where you can show up fully, feel safe being yourself, and explore healing without fear of judgment. Taking that first step can feel big—and a little scary—but you’re not doing it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
