ONLY DAYTIME SLOTS AVAILABLE NOW

With almost a decade of experience working as a therapist, I have supported and worked with a diverse population of children, adolescents, adults, and couples through a variety of life challenges. My clinical interests include working with adults to maneuver life challenges around identity and narrative work, role exploration, attachment, and understanding complexities around family dynamics as an adult, all through a relational lens. I became a therapist because I truly believe in the importance of self-discovery and growth and I enjoy collaboratively working with clients to support, encourage, and acquire skills to better manage and understand their stressors, allowing them to feel more empowered and in control of their life.

Yash Bedi

Yash Bedi

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a background that includes years of work with people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives — including incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addiction, and those carrying cultural weight that doesn't show up in a standard intake form. I'm South Asian, I grew up navigating two worlds, and that shapes how I show up for clients who've had to figure things out without a clear map. I don't do therapy with a clipboard. I'm direct, I'm real, and I'm genuinely interested in what's underneath the surface.

Rachel Hogue

Rachel Hogue

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Maybe you’ve become so good at pushing through that other people don’t realize how much effort it takes to keep up. Your mind may constantly jump from one thing to another, anxiety can turn small decisions into hours of overthinking, depression may leave you feeling disconnected, or experiences from your past may still influence how you feel and relate to others today. I provide virtual individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults throughout Illinois, with a focus on anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. I also support clients navigating stress, panic, grief and loss, family concerns, anger, PTSD, identity and LGBTQIA+ concerns, women’s issues, and substance use when these experiences become connected to the primary challenges bringing them to therapy. With four years of experience, my goal is to give you a space where you can stop performing, understand yourself more clearly, and begin creating changes that actually fit your life.
