Terri Brown-Green, MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I am a licensed professional counselor with a profound belief that therapy should be a joint venture between the client/clients and therapist by using various forms of knowledge and skills to effectively collaborate and find ways to improve troublesome behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, relationships and inadequate social skills. I found my passion of wanting to help others during their therapeutic process as I was navigating through life and realizing there is a strong need for individuals dealing with different forms of mental health issues to have a safe space that provides empathy, compassion, transparency and support.
I accomplished one of my many goals of obtaining my M.A. in counseling from Chicago State University. I also have a background in Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education and many years of training for the treatment of Domestic Violence issues. Some of my main focuses include, depression and anxiety disorders, adult individual therapy, adolescent therapy, marital and couples therapy, grief and loneliness therapy, domestic violence & recovery therapy and a host of other therapy services.
