Are you battling with issues related to trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, or significant life changes? There comes a time when we need help coping, venting, and healing with significant life challenges. I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor in the Chicago and Indiana area. I would love to help you increase your motivation, self-esteem, and willpower to move forward when facing any distressing event.
Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even draining, but I’m here to assist you through any obstacles you may face. My objectives and goals are to help you get through distressful events, increase your self-management and self-soothing skills/abilities, and promote a better quality of life.


All About Therapy
Personalized Attention for All Your Needs
Perhaps you feel down or anxious or maybe you're unsure about not living the life that you were meant to live. Or maybe you are not sure anymore about your abilities or relationships with family or others. And all those feelings, evets and situations are ok. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.
About Me
My name is Elizabel, and I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois and a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana. I'm a very emphatic, creative, resourceful, honest, tolerant, and dedicated professional to enhance your mental health.
My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras Campus. I'm currently working toward the completion of my Ph.D. in General Psychology.
My experience in counseling dates back to 2012, when I started working with children and adolescents. In addition, I also worked with immigrants (unaccompanied minors), substance-use individuals, and at-risk youth in different environments such as outpatient settings, school-based programs, and group therapy. For group therapy, I specialized in structured psychotherapy for adolescents responding to chronic stress (SPARCS) and Trauma and Grief component therapy for adolescents (TGCA) that can also be used in individual settings. These different experiences have helped me to build my clinical background. I now enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive coaching as part of therapy interventions. The important part is that I will adjust to what you need to help you grow and be a better version of yourself.

Services Offered
The most important thing to me is your well-being. Since 2012, I have provided individual counseling and coaching services to patients in the Chicago area. No matter what your situation is, my therapy sessions are designed to strengthen your confidence and promote healing.
