As a licensed therapist in Illinois with nearly three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach is compassionate and versatile, addressing a wide range of challenges including depression, relationship dynamics, grief, trauma, career transitions, and personal growth.
I offer a supportive environment where clients can explore their deepest concerns, from anxiety and isolation, to issues of self-love, communication, and purpose. My expertise spans diverse areas including workplace concerns, midlife transitions, and emotional healing after significant life changes (including trauma).
My therapeutic style is adaptive and client-centered, drawing from extensive clinical experience to help individuals navigate complex emotional terrain. Whether you're struggling with mood concerns, relationship difficulties, or seeking personal transformation, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, compassion, understanding, and professional guidance.
I welcome clients from various backgrounds, creating a safe and respectful space for healing. My goal is to support you in developing resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for positive change in your life. I can offer faith-based care (if desired), however that looks to you. I welcome discussion around your needs and how to fulfill them. My website: www.ginaspielman.com

Excellent counselor. I only intended on using Better Help for a few weeks so my ending has nothing to do with her
