Besan Bannasch, LSW

Psychotherapist
IL
In therapy, we build an honest, non-judgmental sanctuary for you to unload, process, reflect, or simply be. The stories you carry—both told and untold—have shaped your life and given you meaning. Together, we will work to explore and understand your inner world, deepening your sense of authentic self. In our sessions, we will integrate your desires, strengths, experiences, worldview, identities, and fears, as well as challenge maladaptive patterns that contribute to suffering in order to facilitate growth and relief. My background includes working with immigrants, refugees, and folks with multicultural and multiracial identities, as well as LGBTQ+ identifying individuals, with a focus on issues related to mood, identity, trauma, systems of oppression, self-esteem, grief, aging, parenting, life transitions, diaspora, and relationships. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois Chicago. As a therapist, I work alongside clients with warmth, compassion, honesty, and humor. Being in therapy with me is being in authentic relationship with me; I would be honored to accompany you as you engage in the therapeutic process.

  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
