Michelle Molina

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


You will find my therapeutic approach is mixed with empathy, humor, and at times, directness. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and I have worked in education, predominantly in community college settings for about 14 years. I understand the unique challenges that college-aged and adults face during periods of change and uncertainty. My therapeutic approach is flexible and tailored to each individual. I integrate person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, strength-based, and solution-focused approaches to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. I look forward to working with you.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Welcome to my profile page - I'm so glad you are here!

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or have years of experience working with a mental health practitioner, I commend you for taking a step towards positive change.

Life can present even the strongest people with challenging obstacles. Perhaps you want to improve your relationships, quiet your inner critic, let go of perfectionism, live a more purposeful life, or overcome your anxiety? I'm here to help.

Meaningful change requires courage and curiosity. With genuine kindness, compassion (and sometimes a little humor), I can help you achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in the software and retail manufacturing industries. I believe it was my listening and problem-solving skills and my sincere interest in people's unique life stories that eventually lead me to this role. You can learn more about me and my approach on my website at www.jeanettekuhns.com.

Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I’ve been counseling children, teens, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years - but in my experience, that’s not really what you want to know. What you really want to know is, can I help you? And is there hope for things to change for you? As a matter of fact, there is, and I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to take that journey towards healing and empowerment with you. We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

Janell McGruder

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I enjoy working with individuals through the journey of achieving the goals they have with counseling or even just helping them figure out their goals. I feel like individuals are who they are based on their experiences and that when we give them time to view experiences from a holistic view point, they will recognize that they are powerful.


Counseling is not something that is necessarily a quick fix, but you will hopefully walk away with some insight on how you can move forward in a positive and healthy manner.


I recognize the impact being a member of a marginalized group can have on someone and respect the needs of all of these populations. I look forward to answering any of your questions and assisting you on your journey.
