Teena Marie Mabry, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Teena Marie!

I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, work trauma, relationship issues, and chronic illness. My approach blends identifying negative thought patterns with focusing on your strengths and self-determination to help you find meaning and move forward.

My focus

I work with adults facing difficult life transitions, adjusting to chronic illness, or navigating unhealthy relationships that fuel depression, anxiety, and stress. Together we'll uncover your strengths and develop healthy coping strategies.

My approach

I tailor my approach to your needs, drawing from encouraging modalities that help you grow and learn. We'll identify what's holding you back while building on what's already working in your life.

My communication style

I'm direct, honest, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Clients tell me I'm an excellent listener and that they can talk with me about anything while gaining new insights along the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I deeply care about others' well-being. I believe talking things through with an open mind and compassion solves problems. I want to see you live your truth, because everyone deserves happiness.

My goals for you

Goal setting drives progress. We'll work together to determine your needs and what you're looking for. The first part is getting to know you and building a trusting relationship.

Our first session

The first session focuses on why you're seeking therapy, your current feelings, and background information that helps me understand how to help you. We'll also build a connection and determine where to go from here.
