ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Joliet, IL

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to have it all together. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who are used to being the “strong one” for everyone else, but privately struggle with relationships, boundaries, confidence, or life transitions. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can show up authentically, gain insight into patterns that no longer serve you, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. I especially enjoy working with Black women and LGBTQ+ adults and strive to create an affirming, culturally responsive space where clients can show up fully as themselves.

As a therapist, my top priority is proving my clients with trauma informed and empathetic care. My approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are and work in collaboration to help them achieve their highest potential.

Mental health has been an important part of my journey from the very beginning. I graduated from the University of St. Francis while working in inpatient behavioral health, where I learned how meaningful it is to meet people with kindness, patience, and understanding during difficult moments. I spent time working in medical-surgical settings to broaden my experience, but I was drawn back to mental health because it’s where I feel most connected to my work.

I provide care through telehealth and aim to make virtual visits feel as comfortable and easy as possible. I know it can take time to feel at ease talking through a screen, and I focus on creating a space that feels supportive, relaxed, and judgment-free. I take a collaborative approach, listening closely and working with you to find treatment options that fit your needs and your life.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, and related concerns. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward feeling better and more balanced in your day-to-day life.

My nursing career began in 2010 when I first became a Registered Nurse. In 2017 I graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO with my master’s degree in nursing and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) licensed in Illinois. I have been blessed to work in many facets of healthcare since and has also become a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). With a strong foundation in both primary care and mental health, my approach aligns overall wellness and hormone optimization with physical, mental, and lifestyle well-being.

You've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that somewhere along the way, you stopped taking care of yourself. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, bipolar disorder, anger, or the weight of life's demands, you don't have to keep carrying it alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel understood without judgment, and begin building practical tools that help you heal, regain confidence, and move toward the life you want—one step at a time.

I'm Joanna Czyz, LCSW, MSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting children, preteens, adults, parents, and families through life's challenges.
