Monique is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois
Hello. I am Monique Heilemeier and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Iowa. I have been in practice for 24 years in both private and community mental health practices both in person and through telehealth. My focus is helping clients to heal from a variety of traumatic experiences from childhood to adulthood, providing resources and tools to reduce suffering, increase self-compassion and self-acceptance, and improve daily functioning and my approach to therapy is to be a guide and partner throughout the healing process. I work with clients from ages 14 to 99 who have experienced a variety of childhood and adult trauma, anxiety and depression, gender identity/gender dysphoria, grief and loss, ADD/ADHD, life transitions, and chronic health-related issues.
