I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider specializing in therapy for children and youth. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from Delaware State University, building a strong foundation for the diverse clinical work I've pursued throughout my career.

My background spans a wide range of settings — from wrap-around (intensive in-home) therapy and therapeutic foster care case management to domestic violence advocacy and community-based supervision. These experiences have shaped me into a clinician who meets clients where they are, with both compassion and adaptability.

I currently serve as a part-time outpatient clinician with Blakey Weaver Counseling Center in Virginia, where I continue to bring that same commitment to meaningful, personalized care.

I'm Gloria — a bilingual LCSW with over 26 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, and the weight of things that were never properly addressed. I'm Latina and Native American, and I practice in both English and Spanish. I work with clients of all ages, from children to seniors, and I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and women's issues. My approach isn't one-size-fits-all — I pay attention to your cultural context, your family story, and what "healing" actually means for you specifically. Many of my clients come to me after feeling like they weren't truly understood by past therapists. I take that seriously.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Oak Park

Finding the right therapist in Oak Park starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, or grief — or whether you're looking for broader support. Providers in Oak Park include licensed therapists (LCSWs, LCPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists) as well as psychiatrists who can prescribe and manage medication. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Oak Park is home to a strong mental health community, with providers offering care in neighborhoods near the Arts District, along Lake Street, and throughout the village. Many providers offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to choose what works with your schedule. If logistics like appointment times or session format matter to you, look for a provider whose availability matches your routine.

Therapy in the Chicago metro area can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan and location.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
