Tennille Giometti

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and have been in the mental health field for over 20 years.

My therapeutic framework is grounded in the belief that our psyches are naturally oriented towards healing and wholeness. Yet, at times our movement towards growth can become disrupted and blocked for any number of reasons, and we can experience suffering in the form of mental health symptoms. I offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental partnership to explore these blockages with honesty, openness, and deep curiosity. My approach is transpersonal and depth-oriented. I draw heavily on Jungian principles and mindfulness practices to help my clients connect to and trust their inner (oft-hidden) voice and deep intuition. I am also a certified psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist and understand how to work with the healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

You are not an illness to be “cured” or a problem to be “solved”. Therefore, I do not spend our time in sessions pathologizing the issues that have brought you to therapy. Instead, I view symptoms as purposeful and meaningful and as a summons from your soul to turn inward where real transformation is possible. From this perspective, the very symptoms that may have caused distress and upheaval become the breadcrumbs that lead us back to your inner (untapped) strength and resources. Through this process, we work together to restore a sense of balance and wholeness, allowing healing to emerge from within.
