David Fox
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Indiana, I have spent most of my career working to help people that have experienced trauma understand their own narrative. Sometimes, life events occur in adulthood that necessitate short term intervention to assist us to process, understand and reset. My treatment approach involves not only listening, but more importantly, hearing exactly what each person chooses to tell me so that I can understand their unique issue and help them move forward. Your treatment plan will be created by you and for you so that the piece of you that has been impacted is made whole. I look forward to meeting you and working together to empower you to be excited about today, tomorrow and your future.

Jacqueline "Jacky" Liszewski
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in painful relationship patterns or are unsure of who they are becoming. I work with teens and adults who want a space to better understand themselves, build healthy relationships and grow from trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. I often help clients explore the different parts of themselves that hold difficult feelings, past experiences or protective patterns so we can understand them with curiosity rather than criticism. Together, we work at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on practical insight, emotional regulation and meaningful change. What Sessions with Me Are Like Our sessions are meant to be a supportive and thoughtful space where you don't have to filter or perform. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe being honest about what you're experiencing, even if it is confusing, painful or difficult to put into words. In our work together, we'll slow down and explore what's happening beneath the surface of your thoughts and emotions. Rather than judging or trying to "fix" parts of yourself, we focus on understanding them with curiosity and compassion. This often helps people develop emotional clarity, self-trust and healthier ways of responding to challenges. Some sessions may involve reflecting on patterns in your relationships or past experiences while others may focus on practical tools for managing emotions, communication or stress. My goal is for therapy to feel collaborative, respectful of your pace and genuinely helpful for you to build the life you want to live.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
