Introduction

You know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what to do next. Maybe a job loss, divorce, or unexpected change has thrown your life off course. Or you’re burned out from giving so much and wondering, “How did I get here?” You want something better, but right now, you feel stuck. I’m Veleka Avant, LSW, CADC, a therapist at Walk With Me Counseling Center. I help adults facing burnout, life transitions, anxiety, and depression find their way forward. You don’t have to figure everything out before asking for support. Together, we’ll sort through what feels overwhelming, explore what you want your life to look like, and identify steps that feel possible. We’ll work on managing difficult emotions, setting boundaries, and making decisions that reflect your needs and values. I offer warm, culturally responsive online therapy for adults throughout Illinois. Request your free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
