Keri Powell Therapy, Inc.

As a veteran, I bring a unique perspective to my work in mental health. I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to be particularly effective in helping people overcome challenges and achieve positive change.

I have a strong passion for working with youth and young adults, but I am fully committed to assisting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. My values and morals are deeply rooted in my Christian faith, and they guide my approach to supporting individuals and families. I am privileged to help people lead healthier and more fulfilling lives by prioritizing their mental health, well-being, and personal growth. People are incredibly powerful, and I aim to guide them in discovering that power and embracing their greatness within.

With more than 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois, I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families. My holistic approach draws from mindfulness, Twelve Step principles, and expressive therapies to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. I'm also more than happy to also offer Christian counseling for clients who request a faith-based approach.

I believe therapy should be a safe place to move beyond shame, blame, anger, and painful patterns toward greater understanding, acceptance, and accountability. I help clients develop healthier ways to manage difficult emotions, communicate with confidence and respect, and make choices that support lasting healing and positive change.

With a background in the fine arts, I especially enjoy incorporating music, art, and movement for clients who may find traditional talk therapy challenging. My goal is to meet each person wh

I have experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns and diverse populations, with a particular passion for supporting women through anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, co-dependency, personality disorders, and relationship concerns. I believe therapy can be a powerful opportunity for self-discovery, self-acceptance, and meaningful change, and I enjoy helping clients uncover new insights and possibilities along the way.

My approach is individualized and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and guided imagery. I believe in the connection between mind, body, and spirit and tailor treatment to each client’s needs, comfort level, and goals. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling and incorporate faith-based principles into therapy. Above all, I strive to create a safe, compassionate environment where clients feel genuinely heard, accept

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve been working in the mental health field in various capacities since 2016, with adolescents, adults and families. I have experience in working with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, addictions, stress, trauma, grief, bipolar disorders, and adjustments.

My approach is centered around the individual and their needs. I draw from strategies and techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices and Motivational Interviewing. I enjoy incorporating Christian values and support into therapy when the client requests it. I believe that there are times in life when extra support can benefit someone in achieving their fullest potential.

Healing from disappointment, trauma, and fear requires the right mix of privacy, safety, nurturing, education, and therapy—tailored to your unique journey. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I have spent over a decade helping individuals and families navigate emotional, mental, and physical trauma. My passion for learning fuels my commitment to psychoeducation as a foundation for growth. My specialities and training include Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy (Neurodiverse Populations), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (Certified in EFT for Couples), Grief journey work, Personality Disorders (Certified Treatment Provider and assessment) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I'm also excited to implement Christian counseling when clients request this.

Therapy is like cooking—just as balanced ingredients nourish the body, mental well-being is key to a fulfilling life. We all have the components for joy and resilience, but past experiences can disrupt
