Jasa Perry, LCPC, LMFT — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Jasa!

My ideal client can verbalize the need for change and is not afraid to ask for help. My ideal client comes into each session ready to do the work, yet prepared for how tough it may be. My ideal client is vulnerable but strong and introspective, but willing to listen.

My focus

I work with individuals, ranging from teenagers to older adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-esteem/self-image, racial identity & formation, interpersonal and relationship issues, women's issues, and trauma.

My approach

I use a mix of acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and a strength-based approach to work with clients.

My communication style

I use a combination of humor and straightforwardness to connect with clients. My approach is familiar and creates a safe environment that encourages clients to share and be totally open, without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about not only providing relevant and person-centered care to all populations but de-stigmatizing what therapy is and bringing about awareness of its importance in correlation to our physical health. I value diversity in this field and want to create representation for people who look like me.

My goals for you

I ask clients to provide me with some broad-stroke themes they would like to work on, and I help to zoom in on what tackling those themes looks like in collaborative manner. I encourage clients to be the driver with their own destination in mind, while I am the passenger with the road map who can help point things out.

Our first session

A first session would entail reviewing guidelines for scheduling and attending sessions, understanding confidentiality, and gathering an understanding of what therapy will look like. I like to get to know my clients in an initial session and answer any questions about my practices or approach.
