Christina Collins
Welcome to my profile! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with over 13 years of experience assisting individuals in reaching their goals. I'm also a strong supporter and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. My style is highly collaborative and solution-focused; understanding your life and perspective is my first priority. You are the expert on you and I bring with me experience and different strategies to help you on the path of your choosing, or help you to identify what that path would like, if you're not quite sure. While I tend to keep the focus in the here and now, if there are problems from the past that are impacting the present, we can explore those as well, if you choose to. I use several techniques in my "tool box" to provide individualized, comprehensive care, including behavioral therapies (CBT, DBT) and EMDR. Congratulations on taking the first, and often difficult, step towards creating the life that you want. Change, even when welcomed and anticipated, can bring with it a certain level of uncertainty. It takes courage to work through those unknowns and move forward, be sure to give yourself kudos for venturing out to explore a new way of doing things. When you decide to take the next step, feel free to reach out.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Indiana, I have spent most of my career working to help people that have experienced trauma understand their own narrative. Sometimes, life events occur in adulthood that necessitate short term intervention to assist us to process, understand and reset. My treatment approach involves not only listening, but more importantly, hearing exactly what each person chooses to tell me so that I can understand their unique issue and help them move forward. Your treatment plan will be created by you and for you so that the piece of you that has been impacted is made whole. I look forward to meeting you and working together to empower you to be excited about today, tomorrow and your future.

Karen Morris
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of experience, I've observed how childhood trauma can develop coping mechanisms that may become dysfunctional and evolve into such things as depression, anxiety, codependency, problematic work relationships, substance use, and even addictive patterns of behavior that serve to dull and impair one's ability to express their needs. As you enter into therapy with me, I believe you will find someone who listens intently, paying attention to not only what you say but also to the underlying emotions and patterns of which you may not be aware .I I will respond with compassion, honesty and at times humor and odd ball references to music, books, sit-coms and movies ( I tend to lean toward fantasy and sci fi, just for the record). I hope to help you find what you have been missing. You bring the flashlight, I will bring the map. I think it will be an awesome journey.
