Hello. My name is Laura Sollenberger and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois. I am also a Fellow in Thanatology (FT), which is the specialty counseling focus on dying and bereavement. I graduated from Bradley University with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have clinical experience in private practice, not-for-profit and hospital and hospice settings. While I hold specialty credentials in the area of grief and loss, I have 30 years of experience helping clients with a variety of issues when life becomes challenging. I have had the honor of companioning people through some of the hardest, most vulnerable times of their lives. I can help you with relationship concerns, parenting, adjustment to health and life circumstance changes, compassion fatigue, career motivation, grief and loss, and personal growth.
You will find that I am easy to talk to, yet will hold you accountable for what you want to achieve through counseling. Your time is valuable and I can help you move from where you are to where you want to be. Together, we can partner to work towards your goals. I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches and promise to meet you where you are on your life journey.
Reach out to me today and let's get started on you!

Laura is an excellent communicator and extraordinarily skilled at keeping me focused while also making me feel heard! Her guidance and support on the journey of identifying my goals, set workable plans and both guide and support me through the real life stuff that is rarely clear and obvious has provided me with tools that will help me after our sessions have been completed. Her supportive messages in between sessions are an unexpected bonus!

Although I just started my sessions with Laura, I already feel comfortable with her gentle yet pragmatic approach with me. Although I've been away for a couple of weeks, she has been in communication with me by sending thought exercises and reading material. Looking forward to having regular sessions with Laura again.

Laura is the first counselor in my life that I've had a genuine break through with. She really is a truth stone, and has a way of making you feel comfortable enough to spill everything and anything that's on your mind. She truly helped me realize my worth and that I deserve happiness in life. If I ever need to come back to better help, she would be my first choice.
