Sometimes our thoughts, emotions, and past experiences can get in the way of us experiencing internal peace and living the life we desire. I believe that everyone possesses positive, innate tools that can help them conquer life’s challenges and reach personal growth. I have a passion for encouraging individuals to identify and become the best version of themselves possible. As a trauma-informed clinician, I have helped clients navigate through life's challenges including but not limited to: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, self-esteem/self-worth, and life transitions. My compassionate, strengths-based and collaborative approach aims at helping clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and improve overall self-care. During sessions, therapeutic methods used may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Self-Compassion, Mindfulness practices, and Breathing Techniques. Honoring the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I offer an empathic, nonjudgmental space that welcomes vulnerability, personal reflection, and exploration. I recognize that seeking additional support through therapy is a courageous step and look forward to the opportunity to support you along your journey towards peace and healing!

Are you seeking clarity about your experiences with attention, mood, or social differences? I specialize in comprehensive neuropsychological testing for autism, ADHD, and related emotional or personality patterns. My goal is to help you understand yourself more full -- whether you’re exploring a possible diagnosis or looking for answers to long-standing challenges -- so that you can move forward with insight, direction, and confidence. I provide detailed, individualized evaluations that identify strengths, clarify diagnoses, and guide next steps for support and growth. Each assessment leads to a practical, personalized plan -- helping you better understand how your brain works and how to use that knowledge to improve daily functioning and emotional well-being. I value warmth, collaboration, and genuine understanding throughout the testing process. My goal is to make you feel supported, informed, and empowered by what you learn. If you’re ready to gain deeper insight and take meaningful steps toward clarity and change, I invite you to connect for a 15-minute consultation.

Feeling more overwhelmed than usual? Noticing the weight of past experiences getting in your way? Looking to move toward healing? Wanting to lean into a healthier version of yourself?

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing services in Illinois, Florida, and Tennessee. I've been working with children and adults since I received my Master's in Social Work in Iowa. I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and adults, and have worked with clients through private mental health agencies and within the school system. I have worked with clients as young as 5 to middle aged individuals helping with a variety of concerns, including those associated with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, family conflicts, relationship stressors, ADHD, and Autism. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am trained to help clients take a look at all aspects of their lives and where a client can start to make positive changes towards long term success. I enjoy empowering my clients, so that they can take the steps they need towards overcoming current obstacles they are encountering.

Change begins when you take the first steps to know yourself better and Breanne wants to offer you the support and encouragement necessary to do that. Breanne draws from a rich background dedicated to creating a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment, one where you will feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions while navigating challenges. You will be encouraged to nurture your strengths by focusing on positive aspects while working towards meaningful and effective solutions for change.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults who appear high functioning but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck. Many are navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression rooted in earlier life or relationship patterns, particularly those from BIPOC communities seeking culturally responsive care. I help clients slow down, understand these patterns, and build emotional regulation, clarity, and more stable ways of relating to themselves and others. I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you develop insight, regulate emotions, and create lasting change. Spiritual integration, including Christian faith, is available if desired. If you have been holding it together on the outside but struggling internally, you are not alone. Therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I provide accommodation letters for clients needing documentation for school or work. Healing should fit your life. When you are ready, reaching out is a powerful first step.

I work with those who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and not taking care of oneself first. Trauma comes in many forms and may not always look like what you'd expect. I also work well with caregivers and other helpers who experience compassion fatigue, along with those who find themselves giving more than they receive in their relationships. No matter the circumstances that bring you into therapy, we will spend time on how to set boundaries, tune in to your needs, and heal your trauma. Sessions are tailored to your needs and focused on attainable goals. I use a combination of methods from CBT, Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and EMDR to create a plan tailored to your specific needs. I practice non-judgmentally and offer a safe space for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community. I offer free phone consultations so we can decide together if I would be the right fit for you. Making that first contact is the hardest step, but please know that once you do, you are no longer alone. It is an honor to walk with you on your journey to wellness and I am grateful for your consideration in letting me join you. ** I do not accept insurance. My fee is $150 per session **

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're carrying invisible weight no one else can see? Whether you're juggling classes, navigating relationships, questioning your identity, or dealing with family or cultural pressure, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m Tsuki, and I specialize in working with students who often feel like they don’t quite “fit the mold.” Many of the students I support are BIPOC, neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD), and LGBTQIA+, and they're trying to make sense of who they are while moving through complex systems that weren’t built with them in mind. In therapy, your whole self is welcome — even the parts that feel messy or misunderstood. I offer online therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese and bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to our work together. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and always grounded in respect for who you are and what you need. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, identity questions, or just feeling stuck — I’m here to help.
