I graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 2009 with a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling. I am licensed in the State of Illinois as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. 

I have over 20 years of experience working in community mental health and private practice.  Over that time, I have worked with individuals of all ages but have a special passion for working with children and adolescents. I have a history of working with children who have experienced trauma and use a eclectic approach when working with all clients.  

This is a space where you are accepted as you are without feeling the need to confirm to society's expecttions and norms.  I practice from an LGBTQ+ affirming and anti-oppressive lens, which means I’m always working to make this a space where all of you is welcome—including your identities, your history, your culture, and the ways you’ve had to navigate a world that doesn’t always make room for you.

I have advanced training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( TFCBT) with children and adults.  

My  areas of expertise include but are not limited to 

Depression 

Anxiety 

Trauma 

Adjustment Issues 

Relationship Issues 

Grief 

ADHD 

LGBTQ+

Bullying

Olivet Nazarene University

MA in Professional Counseling

I view my work with clients as a collaborative relationship led by the client, as they know their life better than anyone else! I use a person-centered and strength’s-based approach with each client through a multicultural feminist lens. I will often utilize psychoeducation to help clients build their mental health “toybox” with skills in mindfulness, thought tracking and reframing, and creative expression for the feelings and experiences words just can’t express. I specialize in working with those who have experienced interpersonal and systemic trauma, as well as those who are exploring their gender, sexual, and romantic identities. I have a significant amount of training in play therapy when working with children, adolescents, and adults, including Sandtray therapy (my personal favorite!).  I am a neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and sex work affirming counselor who believes in the power of play, education, compassion, and acceptance

My name is Jeannetta, and I'm a licensed professional counselor here at Journey!

I use a person-centered approach within the therapy space, and above all else aim to help my clients feel curious and open during their sessions. I have been a certified alcohol and drug counselor since 2020 and am passionate in aiding people in their recovery journeys in areas of mental health and substance use. 

I enjoy working with a variety of mental health areas related to anxiety, depression, parenting, postpartum, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergence. I completed my Master's program in December 2025 and have been working in the mental health field since 2016. I endeavor to bring an air of laid back and openness to session and utilize humor where appropriate, while also able to utilize directness where needed. Modalities that I tend to use the most include: CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

He has experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, gender issues, autism, and is queer-affirming. His goal is to empower clients to be their purest and healthiest self,  while offering them support with their thought patterns, communication skills, and overall mental health.

Bio: 

Leah graduated in 2025 from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a Bachelor

of Science in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. She is currently pursuing a master

degree in clinical counseling at Eastern Illinois University. Her theoretical orientation is

toward Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but she is open to other techniques

based on clients needs. While she has spent years working with children and families in

a more social work setting, she is interested in working with a variety of people, from

children to older adults. In her free time, she likes spending time with those she loves,

being outside, crafting, listening to music, and more.

I am a Clinical Psychology graduate student at Eastern Illinois University. I have a

strong interest in psychopathology and supporting individuals as they navigate life

transitions, identity development, and personal challenges. Originally from Mumbai, India, I

bring a multicultural perspective to my work, which informs my sensitivity to diverse client

backgrounds and experiences.

Through my academic training, I have developed skills in psychological assessment,

intake interviewing, and group processes, while also learning the importance of empathy,

cultural humility, and creating a safe space for clients to feel heard and understood. I am open

to working with a variety of therapeutic approaches to ensure that care is tailored to what best

supports each client.

Outside of academics, I am a trained Indian classical dancer, which has taught me

discipline, emotional expression, and the importance of mind–body connection. I also enjoy

being in social settings, connecting with people, traveling, and gaining new experiences, all

of which have strengthened my curiosity about different cultures and perspectives.
