      <image:caption>Deborah Esther is an interdisciplinary artist who has spent nearly 15 years honing her craft in poetry, music, and painting. Her journey as a creative seamlessly intertwines her faith and experiences, culminating in a vibrant expression of her innermost thoughts and beliefs. In 2018, a life-altering encounter with Jesus prompted a name change and relocation from Kansas City to Houston. Despite facing numerous challenges upon her arrival, the Holy Spirit has remained the driving force behind her artistic endeavors. As Deborah once heard the Lord say, “Don’t cry for free”, she was inspired to establish her business, God Factor Consulting LLC, a pioneering consulting firm dedicated to helping faith-based founders turn pain into profit through creative strategy and networking. She also authored two significant literary works: "Everything That Has Breath," a poetry chapbook, and its companion workbook. Inspired by her own journey, her books delve into themes of grief, mental health, and faith, offering readers a roadmap to healing and spiritual growth. Moreover, Deborah has also released 4 singles and is working on her album, BECOMING. Deborah's story is a testament to faith and creativity's resilience and transformative power, inspiring others to embrace their unique journeys.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tanya Pashkuleva, LPC</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a licensed professional counselor with an interest in individual, couples, and group mental health counseling. My clinical experience thus far includes working with young adults and adults. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and collaborative, informed by acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, internal family systems, and motivational interviewing. As you navigate life, not only will you have positive experiences but also experiences that create negative feelings and thoughts such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self esteem. These feelings can be a result of stressors within the workplace, your relationships, social injustices. I have been helping clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and adjustments, trauma, relational issues, addictive behaviors, and other concerns. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology with a focus on changing behaviors toward physical, mental, and emotional well-being, mainly by intentionally choosing small daily actions that build on individual strengths and grow resiliency toward life’s stressors while reducing suffering. "You only have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."-Marcus Aurelius Therapy services are available in English and Bulgarian.

      <image:caption>“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space, we have the power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom”  -Victor E. Frankl. If you find yourself in between and need that space - making sense of different experiences you have had, the story you behold, and navigating life transitions, then I am here to provide that space for you. It may sound daunting for some and totally different for others, and everything in between for a few. Wherever you find yourself on the spectrum, I applaud you for taking the first step in seeking therapy - I see a great advocate for yourself in YOU. I have experience helping both men and women with a variety of concerns: anxiety, family of origin, relationships, marriage, life transitions, adverse childhood experiences, and trauma. I have also worked with survivors of sexual abuse, and I practice my therapy with trauma care. My primary specialty is working with adults who have had these experiences or are currently experiencing them. I am currently trained in the Gottman Couple Method and EMDR. I like to incorporate a humanistic approach, person-centered, emotion-focused, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I am also a big fan of Logotherapy, which is about finding meaning in life and our existence. I would also like to incorporate some CBT work, depending on the client. As a Christian counselor, I would happily integrate faith into your sessions if that is what you are looking for. “Life is a JOURNEY, not a destination,” a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.  We often hyperfocus on the destination of societal, familial, or personal pressure and expectations. Hence, we miss out on the journey of ‘getting there,’ which is equally important as arriving at the destination. If you would like to work on self-awareness, gain insight into your journey, and seek healing from some of your adverse experiences, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Therapy services are available in English and Nepali.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bori Kim - Owning our stories and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do. –Brene Brown</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m Bori, a trauma-specialist and therapist. I am also a doctoral student pursuing Trauma &amp;amp; Crisis Counseling at Regent University. I deeply appreciate your presence here. I am glad that you have chosen to walk into your healing journey. You are taking an audacious step towards becoming who you are. Healing may sound scary, and it is sometimes messy. This journey may have unfamiliar paths ahead of you, but I am here to walk alongside you. I have experiences helping both men and women (late 20s-40s), who struggle with childhood trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), sexual trauma, other PTSD, anxiety, and depression, with or without ADHD tendencies. I support each person to see himself or herself fully, guiding towards wholeness. Based on the humanistic approaches, Person-Centered and Gestalt Therapies, I integrate Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) into my practice, a framework by Dr. Dan Siegel on how relationships shape who we are. I utilize expressive therapies, such as color sketches (or paintings), letter-writings, song-writing, poetry and music. I have used these creative mediums to offer clients a breathing room in their mind. As research and studies have suggested, creative art and music can bring healing in brain. I have also been working with nurses, teachers, lawyers, pastoral leaders, and other caregivers with high-stress jobs. I have helped them balance their lives between fully being a self and professional self. Most of us have neglected resting or slowness. For some, resting is just crying. For others, resting could be tending your soul. We will be sitting in this resting together as a part of your healing journey. Your tears are welcome in this place. Your past matters in this space. I am here to hold this space for you. I offer sessions in English and Korean. For Christian clients, I provide faith-based, Biblical counseling when requested. I also offer faith-based coaching through trauma-informed lens across the world. If you are interested, we can have a free, 20-minute consulting call. Please, contact me: bori@chicagohealingconnection.com</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Since 2015, I’ve been helping clients take control of their lives and strengthen their relationships—starting with the one they have with themselves. As a licensed psychotherapist, woman of color, business owner, wife, mom, and stepmom, I understand the complexity of wearing many hats while still trying to feel whole. I bring these lived experiences into the therapy room with compassion, honesty, and a deep commitment to creating safe, transformative spaces for healing. In a world that constantly demands more of us, therapy becomes a place to pause—to reflect, reset, and reconnect with what matters most. We aren’t meant to carry everything on our own. We all need space to be nurtured, heard, and restored. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both clinical insight and spiritual wisdom. I work with individuals, couples, and families through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens. As a Christian therapist, I welcome clients who desire to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process. I believe that spiritual growth and emotional healing go hand in hand, and I offer biblical perspectives to those who seek to align their inner work with their walk with God. Whether you’re navigating relationship stress, identity challenges, parenting dynamics, or long-standing emotional wounds—I’m here to walk alongside you with grace and truth. I’m especially passionate about helping individuals who have learned to care for everyone else begin to care for themselves with the same love, patience, and intention. My mission is to provide a judgment-free and culturally responsive space where you can show up as your most authentic self and move toward the peace, clarity, and connection you deserve. Therapy services are available in English.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Welcome to a space where transformation isn't just possible—it’s inevitable. Imagine a life where anxieties no longer define you, boundaries empower you, and relationships reflect your true self. Together, we can navigate your unique transformation with grace, helping you build resilience and step into your truth. I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at Governors State University. My training has equipped me with a deep understanding of therapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. These methods help address anxiety, conflict management, and boundary setting while fostering healthier relationships and connections.  As a Black woman, I understand the stigma surrounding mental health in marginalized communities. My goal is to break down these barriers, offering a space of empathy, understanding, and healing. I’m passionate about helping clients reconnect mind, body, and spirit, and I create personalized solutions that align with your needs. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, you can express your vulnerabilities and and become your most authentic self. Are you ready to begin your healing and self-discovery journey? Let’s work together to overcome the obstacles holding you back. Take the first step toward a healthier, more peaceful future—reach out today and schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation.

      <image:caption>I believe therapy is a transformative experience that can profoundly impact the lives of those who are willing to engage in the process. It provides an opportunity to explore oneself, develop acceptance and compassion, reduce pain and suffering, achieve personal goals, and promote overall wellness. People come to therapy for many different reasons, and as such, there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. I am dedicated to working with adults and couples to create a supportive environment where exploration, healing, and growth can take place. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Family Systems Theory (FST), and the Gottman Method, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. These approaches help individuals and couples improve their thought patterns, set meaningful goals, strengthen relationships, and address family or cultural dynamics. Through this work, I support my clients in building deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience, and healthier connections with others. Specializing in work with adults and couples, I assist individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, childhood trauma, unhealthy relationships, divorce, premarital counseling, parenting challenges, and life transitions. For couples, I provide tools to foster intimacy, manage conflict effectively, and create shared visions for the future. As a therapist, I prioritize creating a safe, empathetic, and compassionate space that encourages authentic connection and relaxation. My goal is to support you in understanding the impact of your past on your present and guiding you toward the clarity and fulfillment you deserve. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to healing, growth, and empowerment. “Clarify your purpose. What is the why behind everything you do? When we know this in life or design, it is very empowering, and the path is clear.” — Jack Canfield</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“In my endless thirst for knowledge, the greatest opportunity is to embark beyond my comfort zone. Hence, I grace myself to evolve into the learning of self which I have not known.” — Foster, 2021 In pursuit of my calling, I once asked: How can I help others given the darkness of my childhood and the anguish of adult life? The answer became clear: healing through compassion, truth, and presence. We often say, “Hurting people hurt people”—but through holistic care, I help others move from inner torment to peace and purpose. I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals and families affected by generational trauma. I have a heart for children born into erosive family systems, couples navigating challenges, and young adults discovering identity and direction. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from attachment theory, family systems, emotionally focused therapy, the Gottman Method, trauma-informed care, and choice theory. I work to create a space of unconditional positive regard where clients feel safe to explore their stories, confront stuckness, and grow. With premarital couples, I focus on helping them identify “personal intruders”—unseen emotional blocks rooted in past experiences. With youth and adults alike, I use techniques like self-differentiation, enactments, cognitive restructuring, and narrative work to help them reclaim their voice and dreams. My work is informed not just by training, but lived experience. As a survivor of abuse, domestic violence, and early trauma, I bring empathy, insight, and deep respect to my work. I understand what it means to feel emotionally entrapped—and how transformative it can be to feel seen and empowered. My spiritual life was transformed through the redemptive power of Christ and the Pentecostal experience. As both a Therapist and Evangelist for over 45 years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside clergy, Christian families, and faith-based communities. Forgiveness and spiritual freedom are central themes in my work. Outside of therapy, I’m a wife, surrogate mother, and a spiritual mother to many. I find rest through prayer, Scripture, poetry, classical music, and swimming—especially in the ocean, where I feel God’s peace most deeply. Therapy services are available in English.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Esther Wahab - "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." – Carl Jung</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are moments in life when we feel as though we are standing between worlds never fully here, never fully there. Growing up as a third-culture kid, I know that feeling well. We carry fragments of many places, cultures, and stories, and often find ourselves asking, Who am I? Where do I belong? These questions can feel heavy, even overwhelming, but they are also invitations—an opening to explore the depths of who you are. I offer a gentle, safe space where you can bring your story, your doubts, your worries, and the quiet parts of yourself that feel too loud to share anywhere else. Together, we can reflect, untangle, and honor every piece of your journey. I have worked with clients between the ages of 10–50—supporting anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, confidence, and pre-marital counseling—I’ve witnessed remarkable resilience and growth. It is a privilege to walk alongside others, witnessing their courage and holding space for their healing. I strive to create an inclusive, multicultural, and affirming environment where every voice is valued. Fluent in English and Hindi, with conversational Korean, I connect across cultures to help you feel truly seen, understood, and embraced. Your story matters. It deserves to be heard, honored, and celebrated. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your journey of self-discovery, growth, and belonging.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Elaine Russo - Life is so often lived in the “in-between”.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Life is so often lived in the "in-between". Between the past we thought we had left behind and the future we want that seems so close, yet at the same time, so far away. In between the person we want to be and the things we do not want to do yet still see ourselves doing. In between hope and despair. All the while, we attempt to untangle the mess of emotions, which, the more we try, seems to get even more tangled. I get it. Life is messy. As a fellow sojourner, I am committed to walking alongside you to help lead you to your breakthrough and regain agency over your mind and emotions through trauma-informed, attachment-reframing healing. There is no one-size-fits-all counseling modality—my approach is to tailor it to you and your circumstances. I am experienced in helping those experiencing transitional stress, grappling with depression and anxiety, and recovering from spiritual abuse and trauma. I am also specialized in crisis pregnancy options counseling and post-abortion recovery healing. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals reconnect with their true identity and experience transformation from the inside out. I have my master’s in counseling and am currently obtaining a doctorate in counseling and psychology. Beyond academics, the person I bring into each counseling encounter has herself experienced transformation and hope in the midst of despair and desires to see others experience the same. I do not pretend to have all the answers, but my goal, as a Christian therapist, is to lead you to One who does. I fully respect whatever your faith tradition is, whether you have one, and will adapt my therapeutic work to where you are at. Therapy services are available in English and Mandarin.</image:caption>
