MEET OUR THERAPISTS

 

 

We Are Human First


Before we are therapists, we are humans. We value our own humanness as well as yours. This means accepting, and embracing, all parts of the humanness in each of us.  

 
 

“Life is full of experiences. The majority of us don’t have time to process everything that is happening around us. Inevitably, this catches up to us. Let’s work together to unpack your history so that you can be in charge of your biography.”

“Building resilience isn’t about becoming immune to pain. It’s about recognizing that we have the strength to persevere in the face of pain. The capacity to feel intense emotions makes us vulnerable to despair and grief- but it also enables us to hope and love” - Adam Grant

"Attending your first therapy session can elicit feelings of fear, vulnerability, and hesitation. I’m here to alleviate this pressure and provide you with a warm, affirming, and open space. We'll work together to process difficult experiences, strengthen mindful awareness of your inner world, and cultivate meaningful changes in your life that create a sense of vitality and inner peace."

Liliana Ramos, LPC Chicago Therapist

“What if the things that ended -the things that broke and break your heart- what if it was the end of a chapter but the story keeps going? What if life comes back? What if love comes back? I’m starting to believe that the best is yet to be, that life comes back, that the dreams that live inside me are there for a reason, that life is not just a tragedy, not just a story about losing. It is also a story of surprises and grace and redemption, of conversations and moments that feel like miracles.” -Jaime Tworkowski

Chicago Therapist Naomi Sugunasingha

“Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.” – Bessel Van Der Kolk

"The process of beginning therapy is a struggle that is often avoided or delayed. Making the decision to search for a therapist and finding the "right fit" can be unnecessarily difficult. It's important that therapists recognize and appreciate the individual's experience and that we do our part to create a welcoming space and facilitate a dialogue to assist in this process."
