Vince Cieslak

Embarking on my professional journey, I dedicated myself to providing direct service and support for families affected by domestic violence. My dedication is to help people uncover the root of their challenges and facilitate change through my diverse therapeutic approach. I believe everyone has a purpose, and true fulfillment comes from igniting one’s inner light and following a meaningful path.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Aurora University and I am a state Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) and a Certified Domestic Violence Professional (CDVP).

I hold over eight years of experience in treating addiction, trauma, and mental health disorders within shelters, rehabilitation centers, and communities. I have specialized expertise in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly in addressing relationship issues and providing trans-affirming care.

I’m motivated to ensuring our shared space feels warm and welcoming, even in a virtual setting. Remember, this is your journey, and you are the expert! With that in mind, your goals and outcomes will be rooted in your current life circumstances and challenges, and will evolve as you grow.
