Jaime Cox, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Jaime!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where you feel heard, supported, and respected to facilitate long-term change and goal achievement.

My focus

As a trauma-informed therapist and practice owner, I support individuals in navigating the impacts of their childhood trauma and abuse, anxiety, and major life adjustments. Therapy is a collaborative partnership, and I strive to provide a trusting environment where you feel supported by your clinician.

My approach

We will work through your concerns and challenges using a tailored blend of IFS, ACT, DBT, and EMDR-informed strategies. I offer a space that is deeply supportive and collaborative, but I’m also direct, who will give you feedback gently to help support change and growth.

My communication style

I offer a space that is deeply supportive and collaborative, but I’m also direct who will give you the feedback gently to help support change and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by nearly a decade of nonprofit work supporting children and families. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Illinois State University in 2020, where I completed my clinical internship at Carle Behavioral Health.

My goals for you

I help you reach your goals by providing a supportive space to explore your experiences and provide out-of-session homework, like journaling and practicing coping skills, to help support long-term change. We will break big goals into manageable steps, deepen your insight, and practice new ways of thinking and responding to life's challenges.

Our first session

The first session is focused on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your history, current concerns, and goals for treatment. While the session may feel more formal than future appointments, it is meant to gather history and come up with a game plan together.
