I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a deep passion for helping individuals and families navigate cross-cultural experiences, identity struggles, life transitions, and academic or work-related stress. My personal and professional background has given me insight into the complexities of acculturation and balancing multiple identities. I strive to create a compassionate, affirming, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Hi, I’m Sarah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed by complex trauma, big emotions, and the lasting impact of growing up in environments that didn’t always feel safe or supportive. If your brain tends to overthink everything, your nervous system is always on high alert (or totally shut down), or you find yourself stuck in people-pleasing or perfectionism — you’re in the right place.

With more than a decade of experience in psychiatry, emergency medicine, trauma, and clinical leadership, I bring a broad skill set to my work, but human connection remains at the center of my approach.
I believe every person deserves to feel heard and supported. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges with clarity and compassion. I take time to understand your story, collaborate on your goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your life.
My diverse background, from trauma care to outpatient psychiatry and clinical education, has strengthened my commitment to high-quality, collaborative care for patients of all ages.
At Granted Mental Health Services, my mission is to provide accessible, patient-centered care that honors your experiences and supports your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you.

I'm Brad and I'm a therapist in North Austin who specializes in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My style has been described as compassionate, mindful, and relational.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Illinois
Finding the right therapist in Illinois starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Illinois therapists on Headway hold credentials such as LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, and PsyD, and many are trained in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
With providers available across the state — in the Chicago metro, suburbs, downstate communities, and through virtual sessions — you can prioritize what matters most to you, whether that's a provider near your neighborhood, a specific therapy style, or evening and weekend availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Illinois can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can move from searching to booking in minutes.
