Kristin Busco Shipley, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Kristin!

I offer supportive, holistic therapy that is solution-focused. My goal is to help you accomplish your goals, process concerns, and feel empowered.

My focus

I work with adults in individual therapy, couples counseling, faith-based therapy, and women's issues. My passion is helping people connect with their community and providing resources.

My approach

I use a collaborative approach that draws on CBT and other methods to best serve your needs. I view therapy as a partnership where we work together to create a safe, comfortable space to discuss whatever you'd like to focus on.

My communication style

I'm warm, inviting, supportive, and a good listener. I enjoy when clients collaborate with me and make the therapy environment their own. This is your safe, confidential space to discuss anything.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help and advocate for people. I enjoy empowering clients, processing their concerns, and watching them grow. I feel lucky to be part of my clients' lives and hope to join your therapy journey.

My goals for you

I work with you to create a treatment plan in the first few sessions by setting goals that feel important to you.

Our first session

I want to hear your story and form a connection where you feel safe discussing your concerns. I'll get a holistic view of your life and work with you to set goals.
