Wesley Kennedy

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive space from our very first session—whether you come as an individual or as a couple.

My client-centered, trauma-informed approach means your stories, values, and goals shape the work we do together. I help teens, adults, and couples heal from past trauma, grief, addiction, navigate anxiety and depression, and build stronger, healthier relationships.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I’m sensitive to the cultural and relational contexts that shape who you are and how you connect with others.

For clients who desire it, I can also integrate spiritual reflection into therapy, always honoring your level of comfort.

I’ve spent the last decade working with school-aged Chicagoans across the city, from the North Side to the South Side. I love the work because I get to grow and learn from the young people I support just as often as I offer them opportunities for their own growth.

Ron Henson

Ron Henson

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


A lot of people who reach out for therapy are used to holding things together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck underneath it all.

They overthink decisions, carry pressure constantly, struggle to slow their mind down, or notice they keep repeating patterns they already understand but still cannot seem to change.

I’m Ron Henson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and owner of In Situ Counseling & Coaching. My practice helps adults navigate anxiety, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, relationship stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and high-functioning internal pressure through virtual therapy that is collaborative, grounded, and focused on helping things actually make sense in context.

Shelia Ransom Jenkins

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hello, I’m Shelia Ransom Jenkins, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to therapy, creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered.

I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, and my professional background includes work in community mental health, educational settings, and clinical leadership roles. I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family conflict, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and stress related to work, school, and personal growth. I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals experiencing postpartum depression and related mood disorders.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, practical, and rooted in trust.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, or seeking deeper self-understanding, my goal is to support you with empathy, clarity, and encouragement as you work toward healing and lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


College and early adulthood can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I work with college students and young adults who are navigating academic pressure, shifting friendships, family expectations, dating, and big life decisions. You might look like you’re managing it all, but inside you feel anxious, unsure of yourself, or constantly comparing where you are to everyone else. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, identity questions, or just trying to figure out your next step, therapy can be a place to slow down and actually breathe.
