About Us

" Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." -Dr. Brene Brown.

Our experience enables us to offer effective outpatient, individualized care. We treat a number of mental health disorders, and provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples. A special recognition: owner, Janine Stanley, LPC, is proficient in American Sign language (ASL) and is able to provide Deaf clients direct communication in a counseling session. Additionally we have associate level therapists and interns who offer coaching sessions, which include parenting coaching or child behavioral coaching. We do not want to make finances the reason why you are unable to get the mental help you are asking for. If you don't have insurance please discuss with your therapist what options we can offer you. Note: Janine is currently accepting new patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna insurance plans only.  Out of network plans can be provided a super bill upon request. (Please pay attention to the new "No Surprise Act" for Jan 2022 if you are are out of network) 

Pre- Licensed Counselor

I am dedicated and passionate about mental health and my desire to understand the human experience. I am committed to establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client while creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can openly share their struggles and concerns. In a collaborative process, together we will create an individualized treatment plan that promotes growth, well-being, and positive change. 

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through a CACREP-accredited online program, offered by The Family Institute at Northwestern University. 

Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. Our approach to mental health is individualized but the most common form of counseling services is cognitive behavioral therapy. 

We promise to be there for you every step of your mental health journey. Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. 

"Authenticity is the practice of letting go of who we think we've supposed to be and embracing who we are." - Dr. Brene Brown
