Individual counseling for adults in Chicago

Are you feeling stuck, down or overwhelmed?

Melissa O’Connor, LCSW

I became a therapist because I love hearing people’s stories and developing powerful relationships.

We all have the innate capacity to live meaningful lives and sometimes we get stuck along the way.

One of the most powerful aspects about therapy is truly being heard, understood and validated while also gaining insight, awareness and the tools necessary to create a life worth living.

I want to help you reach your full potential, achieve your goals and better understand yourself.
