I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a deep passion for helping individuals and families navigate cross-cultural experiences, identity struggles, life transitions, and academic or work-related stress. My personal and professional background has given me insight into the complexities of acculturation and balancing multiple identities. I strive to create a compassionate, affirming, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I'm Gloria — a bilingual LCSW with over 26 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, and the weight of things that were never properly addressed. I'm Latina and East Indian and I practice in both English and Spanish. I work with clients of all ages, from children to seniors, and I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and women's issues. My approach isn't one-size-fits-all — I pay attention to your cultural context, your family story, and what "healing" actually means for you specifically. Many of my clients come to me after feeling like they weren't truly understood by past therapists. I take that seriously.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges.

As the owner and clinical director of Waterbrook Therapy Group, I'm committed to providing compassionate, practical, and personalized care that helps clients move toward greater peace, resilience, and well-being.
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
I am a licensed therapist in Illinois with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with relationship or family concerns, adjusting to a major life transition, or experiencing depression, you don’t have to face it alone.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies to move forward with confidence.
Reaching out for support is a meaningful first step, and it takes courage to begin. Whatever brings you to therapy, I look forward to meeting you where you are and partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting positive change.
Hi, I’m Dr. Traore, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner passionate about helping clients find calm, clarity, and confidence in their daily lives. My background spans medication management, psychotherapy, and holistic care for individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. I hold a doctoral degree in nursing practice and bring years of experience supporting clients across diverse backgrounds. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and genuinely understood.
I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity questions, and painful patterns that feel hard to break. Some of the people I support are also healing from trauma, grief, depression, or mood-related struggles that are affecting daily life and relationships. I believe we all have answers within us, and my goal is to help clients reconnect with their own voice, strength, and direction.
My name is Glen Alan Ensinger. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I lived in Colorado for over 1 year and was licensed last March. I have been licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois since 2002. I have provided crisis counseling and domestic violence counseling for perpetrators and victims. I completed my master's degree at Western Illinois University which included a practicum and internship at White Oaks in Peoria, Illinois. This is a substance abuse program. I have worked at a school for children with behavioral problems and also have provided counseling and crisis services at a community mental health center. For approximately 10 years I was on clinical staff for the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, Illinois where I provided counseling services for clients in the HIV program. I worked over 8 years at the 9th Judicial Court in Illinois as a court services therapist. I have a private practice that includes working for programs that helped children either get adopted or return home from the foster care program (or help parents get the children returned to them). My primary work has been with families, couples and children. I use dialectical behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and general Rogerian therapy to help people live more successful lives.
Life moves quickly. Feeling like you can't catch up, exhausted by what is troubling you. You may feel stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults who are navigating depression, addiction, and grief. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can talk about what you’re going through, regain stability, and start building a path forward with clarity and confidence.
I specialize in remote online counseling, making it easy for you to receive support without leaving the comfort of your home. I currently have immediate openings for daytime, evening, and weekend appointments, and I am committed to providing flexible, accessible care that fits your schedule.
