As I restructure Resilience Counseling and expand into new areas, I am reminded of the reasons I created Resilience Counseling to begin with. As a Psychotherapist and Art Therapist specializing in trauma/PTSD and LGBTQIA+ concerns (including gender identity); my clinical work with clients and wisdom gained from running a group practice has inspired me to pivot the focus of my work. Centering the need for community and connection, among both other clinicians/providers and clients; I aspire to hold space for difficult through necessary conversations and offer alternative paths to self-understanding, compassion, insight and healing in group/community spaces. 

I graduated from SAIC with a MA degree in Art Therapy in 2013, and am currently waiting for my Art Therapy license (ATR) to be issued. Over the past decade, I worked in a wide variety of settings including residential, community mental health, in-patient psych, and college/university counseling prior to becoming fully self-employed in private practice.

Casey has joined Resilience Counseling in a critical role to help re-structure the practice and build our emerging Collective. Casey graduated from Loyola Univeristy with an MSW degree in 2013. With over a decade of clinical experience, Casey previously worked in a harm reduction residential program for folx with major mental illness & co-occurring substance abuse, and all levels of care within an Eating Disorder treatment facility. Most recently, Casey spent the past few years working at a group practice as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and part of the practice leadership team. As a clinician, Casey specializes in Eating Disorders and working with adolescents/teens. She is also an outspoken advocate on social justice issues, and is committed to helping clients identify the systems of oppression that negatively impact their mental and physical health.

Lynn has over 25+ years experience billing insurance, and continues to stay abreast of current changes for billing health insurance as they shift over time.  Lynn has been with Resilience Counseling for nearly two years handling all of our client billing & insurance credentialing, and is an important part of our upcoming launch for The Collective. In The Collective, she'll be sharing her knowledge & expertise to help therapists working in solo or small group practice navigate the complexities of billing insurance through both pre-recorded trainings and individual meetings.
