Who I am.
Colleen Aziz, LCPC (Founder)
Intentional — Compassionate — Experienced
The best compliment I ever received was that I’m the “human embodiment of a cup of tea.” I bring that same warmth, compassion, and calm to every counseling relationship.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with over a decade of experience counseling adults and couples.
I’m here to help you make your life and relationships into the best they can be, according to what’s important to you.
What I stand for.
I affirm and support people who identify as:
BIPOC
2SLGBTQ+ and gender-nonconforming
Religious minority, or atheist/agnostic
Disabled (invisible and visible)
Fat, or non-straight sized
Returning, for formerly incarcerated, citizens
Undocumented citizens
In recovery
Contact me for more information on my commitment, including reduced-fee counseling for those from under-served populations, to racial and social justice and progressive causes.
What I do.
I’ll help you develop and manage healthier, more satisfying relationships with your family, friends, and people you work with.
I’ll assist you in figuring out who you want to be in your life and career, and how you can best find meaning in your life.
I have special experience helping people explore their relationship with alcohol, drugs, and other addictive behaviors, and I’ll help you make the changes you want and need.
I have special experience working with immigrants and refugees, people who consider themselves spiritual but not religious, and people who identify as 2SLGBTQ+.
I use existential, cognitive, and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as solution-focused work to help you feel better soon (see FAQ).
How it works.
I offer individual counseling (family members and important others can join sessions as needed) and couples’ counseling for adults. I also offer mental health and substance abuse assessments.
All counseling sessions are conducted virtually through HIPAA-compliant video.
I am credentialed with all major health insurance companies (see FAQ for complete list). Self-pay and sliding-scale options are available (via the Open Path Collective).
Supervision services.
I offer clinical supervision for aspiring therapists (provisionally-licensed LPCs and graduate students) in Illinois.
All supervision sessions are conducted virtually through HIPAA-compliant video.
