Getting to know Jean Ackermans

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with 20 years of clinical experience, including work in a wide variety of settings such as outpatient private practice. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. My therapy style is dynamic, interactive, and focused on collaboratively assisting clients to reach their goals and find solutions to life's challenges. I believe in establishing a solid, respectful, and empathic long-term relationship with my clients. With the right support and tools, I know and believe that people can and do feel better! My clinical focus is on working with women who are struggling with trauma, divorce, substance abuse, relationship issues, parenting challenges, eating disorders, life transitions, self-injury, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, complex grief, depression, and anxiety. I have training in DBT, CBT, and ACT, and my style is open, supportive, empathic, and direct. I meet clients where they currently are on their journey and work to fully understand how I can help.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
