Let It Shine Counseling & Wellness

We are a counseling service dedicated to helping you navigate your healing journey. Our goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your feelings, identify trauma, and work towards healing and personal growth.

Our Services

At Let it Shine Counseling, we offer a range of services tailored to meet your unique needs. Here are some of the common issues we help with:

• Childhood trauma: We help individuals identify, explore, and heal from traumas and dysfunctions experienced in childhood.
• PTSD & C-PTSD: Using a mind-body approach, we help people identify symptoms and heal from post-traumatic reactions.
• Depression & Anxiety: Mindfulness approaches such as nonjudgement and acceptance are effective in lowering levels of depression and anxiety.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy is a specialized approach to healing from traumatic experiences. Our trauma therapy services are designed to help you understand and process your experiences in a safe and supportive environment. We use evidence-based approaches, such as trauma-sensitive yoga and mindfulness techniques, to help you heal from trauma.

Group Therapy

We offer group therapy experiences that are safe and supportive. Our trauma-sensitive yoga and mindfulness techniques are designed to help you heal from trauma in a group setting. Our upcoming group starts on September 12th.

About Me

Hi, I'm Mary, the founder of Let it Shine Counseling. I am a licensed mental health counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Illinois University. I have extensive training in trauma-informed care and a deep understanding of the complexities of trauma and its impact on individuals.

My approach to therapy is down-to-earth, compassionate, and open. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their feelings, identify trauma, and work towards healing and personal growth. I am committed to providing unconditional empathy, gentle challenges, and open compassion to all my clients.

My Style

I strive to create a therapy experience that I would want for myself. I believe in a mix of intellectual understanding and full-body emotional understanding. I value open, compassionate listening, with gentle confrontation and challenging of world views. I believe in acceptance and exploration of all of me with no judgments and open compassion. I aim to be present, grounded, and mindful in session, so that I can hold the space you need and deserve for healing.
