Mrs Andreina Phelan

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

An experienced, caring, and welcoming individual therapist who specializes in working with anxiety, life transitions, family issues, and acculturative stress

About Me

An experienced and caring individual therapist offers a welcoming space. They guide clients through anxiety, life transitions, and family issues, including support for acculturative stress. The therapist helps individuals explore their feelings and develop practical ways forward. This approach is ideal for those seeking calm amidst worry or navigating complex life changes. It fosters resilience, building a stronger foundation for personal well-being.

Approach

You'll find sessions grounded in steady experience and a welcoming warmth that helps ideas land without rush. I work with adults in Chicago and online, offering care in English and Spanish; sessions move at a practical pace, mixing thoughtful reflection with doable tools you can try between meetings. We pay close attention to cultural pressures, family patterns and the everyday habits that keep anxiety and low mood cycling, tailoring small experiments to your life. This way suits those ready to build clearer routines and steadier emotional footing.
