Therapy is a unique experience that is 100% devoted to you. It’s a place for you to check in, reflect on life, and create goals to move yourself forward. Like many people, you might be feeling distracted, isolated, and overwhelmed by change and uncertainty. Maybe you are struggling with negative thoughts, nervousness about how you will cope with a significant life transition, or a lack of connection in your relationships. You might have tried pushing your feelings away or beating yourself up to get where you want to be. It doesn’t work, and you feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and stuck. Therapy can help.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I’m Clara! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and I have experience counseling individuals, couples, and children/adolescents for a variety of mental health and relational concerns. Therapy with me isn’t stuffy. You can be your full authentic self. You can feel big emotions, be confused or uncertain, and be human in my office. I am open, genuine, and willing to listen - that’s my job. I have worked in a Chicago private practice setting since 2016, and founded Vivant Counseling & Psychotherapy in 2022.
