Getting to know Jean Ackermans

Since I was a young child, I've been fascinated by experiences that evoke deep human emotions. I was naturally drawn to music, art, and stories of individual expression and the impact we have on each other. As a therapist, I strive to understand clients' unique experiences and provide a safe space for empathy and validation. While my clients set their own goals, I believe the therapeutic relationship is a cornerstone of collaborative change and growth. I value honesty, integrity, and acceptance of everyone in their struggles. Through dedicated work, courage, and even humor, I believe everyone can heal and feel better. I earned my master's degree in social work from Loyola University Chicago and have since provided counseling in a variety of clinical settings, including community mental health and private practice. I've worked with adults with severe mental illness, individuals coping with chronic health conditions, and youth with autism and social-emotional struggles. My current interests include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, borderline personality disorder, and individuals experiencing life changes such as divorce.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I want to create an environment that is welcoming and inclusive. Everyone comes to therapy with different values, strengths, and backgrounds unique to them, my goal is to utilize these qualities to create a client centered approach to treatment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Finding the right therapist is one of the most fundamental aspects in therapy. In the initial session, I will discuss what you are looking for, your expectations and how we can best work together to meet your needs.
