Getting to know Jolene Altman

Healing Talk Therapy for overwhelmed, high-functioning moms navigating burnout, anxiety, and late-diagnosed ADHD — via secure telehealth in Illinois. Are you the mom who holds everything together — the schedules, the emotions, the mental load — while quietly feeling exhausted, resentful, or disconnected from yourself? Many over-functioning moms struggle in silence. You may look “high-functioning” on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out on the inside. For some, a late ADHD diagnosis can suddenly reframe years of coping, people-pleasing, and chronic over-responsibility. I’m Jolene Altman, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist in Illinois. I specialize in working with over-functioning moms who are ready to slow down, regulate their nervous system, and reconnect with who they are beyond productivity and expectations. Therapy with me is supportive, grounded, and deeply human. This is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together — and where real, sustainable change can begin. You deserve support. You deserve ease. And you don’t have to do this alone. If you’re searching for a therapist for moms near you, you’re likely looking for support that feels accessible, understanding, and grounded in real-life motherhood.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Many of my clients say therapy gives them a sense of relief— like they can finally slow down and breathe. They describe me as warm and approachable, yet I gently challenge them to dig deep and do the work. We’ll explore the hard stuff together, and through it all, you’ll feel supported and encouraged. I love laughing with my clients, swapping book and podcast recommendations, and showing up as my full, authentic self—because I ask you to do the same. I invest deeply in this work because life is short, and you deserve to feel at peace with yours. Whether you’re new to therapy or have been before, my clients often say I’m different because I value the relationship as a vehicle for growth. This relationship cultivates a sense of safety so that together we can work on your struggles with a shared sense of trust. I ask you to truly connect with yourself—because when you do, it’s easier to connect with others and fully participate in your life. I show up with compassion, humor, and honesty because that’s what helps us move through the hard stuff. My values—authenticity, connection, growth, and honesty—shape every session. I regularly consult with colleagues, take courses, and attend trainings to ensure I’m always growing as a therapist. Being highly trained, skilled, and intuitive is at the heart of my practice.
