Getting to know Charlotte Greiwe

Life has a way of leaving marks that aren't always easy to explain — anxiety without warning, transitions that knock you off balance, or the weight of experiences never fully acknowledged. And if you've spent years hiding parts of yourself to feel accepted, you know how exhausting that is. Finding a therapist who truly gets it — not just professionally, but personally - can make all the difference. As a queer, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, Charlotte Greiwe brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She understands firsthand what it means to navigate identity, self-acceptance, and a world that doesn't always make room for your full self. Charlotte shows up authentically in every session so her clients feel safe to do the same - creating a space where LGBTQ+ individuals and couples can explore identity, process trauma, and heal without having to explain or justify who they are. She works with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health concerns - including LGBTQ+ specific stressors like coming out, family rejection, and minority stress. She provides individual and couples counseling at the Naperville and Lemont locations and holds a Master's in Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her toolkit includes EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness - all delivered through a trauma-informed lens. "Life is a journey, not a destination," Charlotte says. "As your therapist, I'll walk with you on this path - emphasizing self-love, compassion, and acceptance."

What should a new client know about working with you?

I bring authenticity and lived experience to every session so you can feel safe being your full self - without having to explain or justify who you are. My approach is trauma-informed and tailored to you, drawing on EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices. For clients whose experiences have been minimized or misunderstood by others or previous therapists, I offer something different: a space where your full story is not only welcome, but central to the work. I believe healing starts with a relationship built on trust, empathy, and genuine acceptance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I start by getting to know you - your story, your strengths, and what's brought you to therapy. From there, we build a tailored plan using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, always at a pace that feels right for you. I routinely check in on progress and adjust our work as your needs evolve. If coordination with other specialists supports your care, I'm happy to facilitate that too. My goal is to help you build the self-awareness, tools, and inner foundation to live more fully and freely as yourself.
