In life, people look for answers and I believe the answers lie within each of us. I strive to help individuals make their thoughts and goals clearer so that individuals can find answers during times of heavy clouds and dark skies. Through processing, learning effective tools, and techniques to manage high stress and anxiety, I work with my clients to get them to a more comprehensive sense of self. That self they have always dreamed of being and that self they, unconsciously, already are. In doing so, processing the past and the present to develop how my clients want their future to look will be a journey of healing and finding balance. 

 

I work from an integrative approach primarily utilizing Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic interventions with Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral theories. I am extensively trained in Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic and Dialectical Behavioral therapies. I strive to help individuals identify patterns in current relationships and behaviors that stem from past experiences, both from past attachment, as well as environmentally learned. I take a collaborative approach through processing, learning effective tools, and applying techniques to manage high stress and anxiety. I have experience working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma-related concerns, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, phase of life adjustments, personality disorders, identity and LGBTQIA+ related concerns.  

 

I earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Adler University in Chicago, IL and my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Chicago, IL. I have worked in private practices, intensive outpatient programs and college counseling settings as I enjoy working with young adults, middle-aged adults, individually, couples and in group therapy.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount in fostering change. It is through an open, nonjudgmental, and safe environment that clients can explore and grow into their most authentic selves and lead more fulfilling lives. My approach emphasizes how our past and present experiences shape how we relate to others and the world around us. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and utilize an integrative and collaborative approach that incorporates aspects of Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist, Relational, and Strengths-Based approaches.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and sex positive therapist who welcomes clients who are part of the kink and poly/consensual non-monogamy communities. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

I have experience in multiple settings including substance abuse facilities, community mental health centers, and therapeutic day schools working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, developmental disorders, impulse control, and relationship struggles.

Finding balance in this unpredictable world can sometimes seem unachievable. Together, we can find a balance that best fits you. My goal for therapy is teaching you the skills needed to find your balance so you can flourish in your daily life. Whatever your journey has been, I will help you implement knowledge and tools to overcome barriers from the past, present, and future. I am here to listen from a neutral perspective with expertise in psychological health and the influence it can have on the rest of our biological system. My clinical skills reflect all ages across the lifespan as I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. With this, I am flexible in aiding in treatment among various cohorts and in a multitude of settings. 

 

Through my training in health service psychology at Kansas City University, I was able to work closely with medical students in training to become knowledgeable in the process of collaborative care. I am willing to work with you and any of your providers to ensure advocacy for your comprehensive wellbeing. You will not feel alone or unheard throughout our treatment together as I will work collaboratively with you to ensure the best care.

 

 The evidence-based treatments I commonly use in practice include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused therapy (SFT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT).  I am well versed in neurocognitive deficit interventions, mood disturbances, substance use interventions, and trauma processing. Additionally, I have done extensive research in women’s health issues including PMDD, postpartum depression and anxiety, and other menstrual conditions.

Santina Bianco LPC

桑蒂娜·比安科,LPC

治療師

阿德勒大學對我很重要,因為它強調社會正義和社區參與。成為芝加哥社區的一員讓我大開眼界,因為我來自一個小鎮。做大池塘里的一條小魚給了我機會和經歷,我覺得這些經歷幫助我成長為一名輔導員。  

 

我在芝加哥公立學校、青少年住宿中心和危機中心等住宿環境中獲得了治療經驗。我的熱情包括與兒童、青少年和年輕人一起工作,同時促進多樣性。我提供個人、團體和家庭治療。我的經驗包括治療一系列心理健康問題,包括抑鬱症、焦慮症、品行障礙、對立違抗性障礙、注意力缺陷多動障礙 (ADHD)、適應障礙和憤怒。

 

我的方法是綜合結合循證實踐,包括以客戶為中心的治療、認知行為治療、辯證行為治療和阿德勒治療。我的專業領域涉及遊戲治療的使用。遊戲治療是一種心理治療方法,主要用於幫助個人通過遊戲自由表達自己的情緒和想法。治療性遊戲是我幫助有學業、行為、社交或情感問題的人與表達方式不同的人的一種方式。口頭交流並不適合我們所有人,而且可能會令人生畏。我更喜歡在做一些積極或有趣的事情時結識某人。

 

我的熱情是通過利用他們的優勢來培養獨立性,幫助我的客戶發揮最大的潛力。我的治療風格包括與我的客戶會面,他們目前所在的地方。 我的目標是提供一種獨特而真實的諮詢體驗,讓人們感覺自己被接受。我尋求提供一個安全和協作的空間,以幫助建立信任以促進治療關係的發展。

我們都有獨特的與生俱來的優勢,這些優勢創造了我們內在的魅力。然而,當我們被日常生活的混亂所吞噬時,有時我們會忘記或缺乏培養這些品質的技能。通過認識和發展這些品質,我們將認識到並“擁有我們的真棒”。 我們將一起邁出旅程的第一步,以最大限度地發揮您的潛力。我們將確定您遇到困難的領域並在這些領域開展工作,以提高您與價值觀的一致性,因為我們開發了可創造改變生活的轉變和持久結果的實踐。  

 

我是有執照的專業顧問。我在芝加哥德保羅大學完成了臨床心理健康諮詢教育碩士學位。在我的整個職業生涯中,我曾在門診治療和住院治療計劃中擔任過職務。我曾與不同人群和年齡的人一起工作,包括青少年和青少年、成年人以及患有慢性心理健康和身體健康問題的個人。我使用基於優勢、以人為本和心理動力學技術的綜合方法。 我堅信治療聯盟的重要性,客戶應該感到安全和得到支持。每次治療,我們都會就您的治療進行合作,以幫助您滿足您的個人需求和目標。 

Jing Han LPC

Jing Han, LPC

Psychotherapist

I believe we’re naturally good and unfortunately taught to feel shame, worthlessness, inadequacy, and the ideas of “bad” and “wrong”. I’m dedicated to providing a non-judgmental environment to support clients, explore their situations, and achieve their goals. I strive to hear and understand your feelings, past and current experiences, as well as to provide information and new coping strategies to help you deal with your concerns, difficulties, and struggles. We will sort out what’s going on in your life and sort it out together.

 

I received my Master’ degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adler University. I have received training  in CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and personality disorders treatment and management. It is my goal to keep enlarging my toolbox in order to provide more efficient and effective support to my clients.

 

The differences between cultures, languages, and environments may cause frustration or even conflict, and having new information and ways to handle them will create fresh insights and help you accomplish your goals. I hope after every session my client feel more confident, having healthier boundaries, and enjoy their lives more.

I offer therapy to individuals, couples, and families in English, Mandarin, and Japanese.

Nicole Yan

Nicole Yan, LSW

Psychotherapist

My approach to therapy is based on mutual appreciation. Through openness and
acceptance, we can work together on personal issues and emotional situations
you face. I support individuals in learning to heal their own suffering through
discovery of the gentleness, warmth, wisdom, and compassion that is an innate
capacity of all human beings. I enjoy working with people on their journeys and
helping them to nurture their inner and outer worlds with kindness and
awareness.


My practice is informed by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic
techniques, client-centered approach, as well as mindfulness, self-compassion,
and Buddhist psychology. My clinical experience includes a wide range of
concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, spirituality, relationships,
substance abuse, and gender identity.


I received my graduate degrees, a Master of Social Work and a Master of
Divinity, from the University of Chicago. I have also worked as a hospital chaplain
and am familiar with contemplative practices in patient care. For several years
now, I have facilitated a weekly meditation group as a way to promote growth and
healing in our community. I am fluent in both English and Chinese.
