Hi, I’m Stephanie Lilly and I am a parenting coach and child & adolescent therapist. I have a master’s degree in Community Counseling and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

My approach to working with clients is holistic, allowing for individualized care that is supported by evidence-based techniques. I focus on building a trusting, therapeutic relationship with clients to provide the optimal environment for positive change. 

I am a registered play therapist and have had extensive training in behavioral modification that brings excellent results while working with young children and their parents. My background in child development lets me offer parents practical strategies to address a wide range of parenting challenges.

Michelle Owusu, MA, LCPC

My name is Michelle C. Owusu and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. I believe that all humans have the right to be seen, heard and understood. As human beings, we each hold value and deserve a safe space to feel supported and validated in our times of need. I value building trusting relationships based on empathy and acceptance by treating all people with dignity, respect, and kindness. Listening with compassion, without judgment and while prioritizing the needs of my clients is my number one priority.

I provide therapy based on the needs of my clients to allow self-exploration. Through self-exploration, we work towards creating an optimal level of functioning. The techniques I utilize include cognitive behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, multicultural, and trauma informed. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and enjoy working with individuals and couples of various ages, races, cultures, and presenting concerns including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, grief/loss, and life transitions.

I hold a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Argosy University and I have been fully licensed as an LCPC in Illinois for 15 years. I am passionate about helping others and believe that providing a safe space is a priority in being able to assist people in navigating through life. I know that making the decision to seek out therapy can be difficult, and I admire your courage in doing so. I am excited about the possibility of working with you!

Victoria Rodriguez - Del Rio, MA, ALMFT

Hablo Español. Hi! I’m Victoria, and I’m a relationship coach and Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe people are naturally lively and healthy, but our access to this liveliness can become blocked as we are forced to adjust to various life challenges.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them gain awareness of why and how they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves, find ways to remove blocks to emotional growth, and move towards a life that feels more connected and alive.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that every life and every relationship has the potential for growth and renewal. By fostering a safe and non-judgmental environment, I encourage people to explore their emotions, improve their communication skills, and strengthen their bonds. Whether working with couples experiencing infidelity, navigating the complexities of marriage, or seeking to reignite their passion, I am dedicated to helping partners rediscover their connection and build a more fulfilling relationship.

Dr. Eric Ward, PsyD, LCPC

I’m Eric Ward, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and relationship/men’s coach. I’ve been working with men and couples for more than 30 years as both a therapist and a coach. It’s my belief that when we end up dissatisfied and not living the life we envisioned – whether generally or in our relationships – it’s often because we’ve lost sight of our goals, those goals don’t line up with our partner, and we’ve lost the emotional and psychological connections with others that make that life achievable. My process simple (but don’t mistake simple for “easy”!). I help people identify the goals they have for their lives and relationships, I help them learn or re-learn the skills they need, and I help them put these new, effective practices into place. I am married and have 3 daughters and 1 granddaughter. In my “free” time I am both an author and a podcaster. You can find my books and the podcast on this website.
