Your Journey Counseling was officially born February 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic came with a good wake-up call for us. With all the uncertainty in the world and the great need being presented for quality mental health services, we knew we couldn’t keep waiting for the “right moment” to come for us to open our doors to growth. 

Our mission is to provide both clients and clinicians a safe space in which they can embark on their own journeys towards growth. Every Clinician on our team owns and operates their own private practice independently of Your Journey Counseling.

We created this space with the intention of supporting other professionals as they work on their own goal of starting or expanding their private practice and for clients to have many qualified clinicians to choose from in one place.

Let’s Get You Started on Your Journey!

Your Journey Counseling was something that I strived for after being in the field for 13 years. The first 10 years were working in community mental health, which was unbelievably rewarding. Unfortunately like many community health organizations across the country, the one I worked for closed after nearly 50 years of helping many south suburban children and families. I didn’t want to stop counseling, so I was fortunate to start working at a private practice where I enjoyed it, but never pictured “hanging my own shingle.” Being in private practice was different from community mental health, but it was a good different. After much thought, I decided to open Your Journey Counseling. I have met a lot of people during my 13 plus years and hope to build many more relationships at our new practice.

I am excited to see what this journey has in store for my family and I. I have always had the love and support of my family, friends, and colleagues; without them, I never would have gotten this far in life. To all of these important people, I say thank you for always pushing me and believing in me. And off we go!!!
