When life feels heavy—anxiety or depression taking up space, ADHD making everyday tasks feel harder, chronic illness or pain wearing you down, or the ache of trauma, abandonment, or a breakup/divorce—you don’t have to carry it alone. I offer a steady, compassionate place to sort through big feelings and make room for relief, clarity, and hope.
I love working with women who feel stuck yet hopeful—people who want better coping skills and clearer communication, who are ready to honor their story and create new chapters. I respect all identities and lived experiences, and we’ll move at your pace, with care.
I’m Julie Villarejo, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois with 6 years of experience. I earned an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Trinity Christian College in 2020 and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. My work centers on healing from abuse and trauma; easing anxiety and depression; supporting ADHD, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder; navigating chronic illness and chronic pain; and moving through abandonment, breakups, and divorce, while strengthening communication and coping skills. I draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy to help you build practical tools, expand flexibility, and reshape the story you tell yourself.
If this resonates, I’d be honored to connect.
