Strengths-based, solution-focused counseling for individuals (ages 13 & up), couples and families in Illinois.
Maybe you’re preparing to graduate and move on to the next phase, starting a new career, becoming a parent, facing a divorce, heading into retirement…no matter what the case, change is difficult.
You are already taking the first step by seeking support, and for that, I applaud you. Let’s take the next step together.
I’m here to listen without judgement, provide support, and serve as an accountability partner in your journey. I would be honored to meet you, learn more about your therapeutic needs and goals.
Counseling services are provided at Counseling Connections in Springfield, Illinois under the supervision of Tracy Howland, LCPC. Appointments (both in-person and telehealth) are available on weekdays between the hours of 9 am and 2 pm, with limited after-school and early evening slots as well.
Where is your practice located?
Counseling Connections is located at 1230 Centre West Drive, Springfield, IL 62704. It is adjacent to Music Therapy Connections and Rambach Insurance Agency.
What is your therapeutic approach?
I work with you to not only identify your strengths, but to then apply them in order to find solutions to even life’s most difficult situations. In counseling, you are in the driver’s seat — I’m just here to help you develop the tools and skills you need to reach your goals.
Board-certified in music therapy since 2007, I have 16 years of clinical experience that has informed my creative, outside-the-box counseling approach.
Together we’ll focus on strengths and solutions (rather than symptoms and diagnoses) in order to make progress towards achieving goals. I employ these therapeutic modalities: solution-focused counseling, person-centered therapy, and music therapy.
