Tina Jerolds, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Tina!

I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, partner abuse, marital issues, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help and believe in the power of having someone witness your story.

My focus

I work with clients of all ages, from young children to older adults. I have an extensive background in child welfare and mental health, particularly with those who have endured trauma and are seeking healing and growth.

My approach

I use client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and crisis counseling. I tailor our work to meet your unique needs, treating you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

My communication style

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our work together to meet your unique needs. The therapeutic process can provide empowerment and leverage for healing and recovery.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been drawn to therapy since my earliest training. Witnessing people heal, navigate difficult aspects of their lives, and pursue growth is powerful and humbling. Therapy has always been the most rewarding part of my work.

My goals for you

Setting goals at the onset gives us a starting point, though goals can shift as therapy reveals greater insights. Your goals are yours. When you own them rather than having them directed by a therapist, there is a foundation for healing, growth, and change.

Our first session

In our first session, I will gather context about your life and history to understand who you are, your experiences, and your lived experiences. This helps me tailor our work to meet your specific needs.
