Meet Our Team
Soma Counseling Center is a group practice offering online therapy to adults across Illinois. Our clinicians bring trauma-informed, body-aware care in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Each works in her own way, and both share the same belief: therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and free to grow at your own pace.
