Description
Healing can feel overwhelming, but it is never too late to begin. I’m Jaleesa, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy for clients across Illinois and Florida. I’m honored you’ve chosen yourself today, and I’m here to help you navigate your healing journey with compassion, clarity, and support. Therapy with me is a safe and judgment-free space where you can show up as your full, authentic self while we explore the experiences that have shaped your life.
I work with clients who are facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and identity exploration. I also support individuals navigating academic or career-related stress, helping them build confidence and align their goals with their values. My approach is holistic, person-centered, and trauma-informed, drawing from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology to help you find insight, healing, and emotional balance.
I have a deep passion for supporting women of color who are impacted by marginalization, acculturation stress, and intergenerational conflict. I also specialize in maternal mental health and welcome clients across the full parenting spectrum—from infertility and pregnancy to parenting teens or healing complex relationships with adult children. It is my privilege to walk with you through experiences that feel confusing, heavy, or transformative, offering space to process, understand, and reconnect with yourself.
With years of experience across diverse clinical settings, I bring a grounded understanding of how identity, trauma, and life transitions shape the human experience. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and to help you move toward greater peace, empowerment, and emotional well-being.
