Dr. Jennifer F. Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois dedicated to supporting individuals undergoing major life transitions (i.e. divorce recovery, perimenopause, empty-nesting, career change) or those enduring those high-stressor roles (i.e. middle management to executive leadership jobs, graduate studies, business and entrepreneurship dreams). My passion is serving those who are silently carrying stress and unhealed trauma under a "mask" of greatness but neglecting the things that bring true joy and wellness into your life. By integrating evidence-based mental health modalities and holistic wellness skills into an experience that meets you in the full complexity of your life. I believe healing is not because you've learned to push through, but have done the courageous work of purpose-driven alignment. When you are aligned with self, it demonstrates outward in the world you impact. Let's do it together.. Through this work, Dr. Smith helps individuals become a healthier, balance and more grounded version of themselves.
