Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


If you're an adult navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship stress — and maybe feeling like

no one quite understands where you're coming from — you're in the right place. I've been

practicing for 15 years across community and clinical settings, working with adults and older

adults on mood, relationships, and the weight of everyday life. I'm bilingual in English and

Spanish, and having lived abroad myself, I genuinely enjoy working with people from a wide

range of cultural backgrounds. You don't have to explain your world to me — I'm here to

understand it.

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


Welcome. Seeking therapy is a meaningful step, and I believe you deserve a space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and build lives that feel more manageable and fulfilling. I am Juton and I am a clinically licensed professional with over 15 years of experience providing crisis intervention, grief support, behavioral health services, clinical practice support, and training for helping professionals. My professional background includes work with individuals facing acute stress, life transitions, loss, emotional overwhelm, relationship concerns, and the effects of demanding work or caregiving roles. I work with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and bereavement, adjustment challenges, trauma-related stress, low self-esteem, or difficulty managing major changes in their lives. I am especially passionate about supporting people in high-stress helping professions, including healthcare workers, first responders, educators, caregivers, and behavioral health professionals. I would be honored to support you on that journey.

I am passionate about helping people! Everyone wants to be heard and valued. My approach as a counselor is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you in a nonjudgmental space. I will demonstrate consistent empathy towards your feelings and struggles while verbalizing positive regard and validating you.

Caroline Broom

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Sometimes talking about the past isn't enough—you want to stop feeling like it's still affecting your present.

Whether you're carrying the weight of a traumatic experience, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or painful memories, healing is possible.

I'm Caroline, a therapist who works exclusively with adults (18+) and has a special passion for helping clients heal from trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. With a decade of clinical experience, I believe that while our past experiences shape us, they don't have to define our future. My goal is to create a supportive, compassionate space where you can process difficult experiences, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and peace.
