Sara Vivens, LCPC, MA

Psychotherapist
IL
The magic of therapy comes from the therapeutic relationship. Once you have the space to take risks in the therapy room, you'll find what is truly meaningful to you outside of it. I'm Sara (she/her/hers), cofounder of Ida Lillie Psychotherapy and Wellness, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I'm passionate about providing therapy to partner with you in changing your life. Together we'll take apart what's happening and build understanding about why and how you got here. Then, we can create a game plan for making shifts that lead toward your liberation and joy. I specialize in eating disorder diagnosis, intervention, and treatment utilizing a decolonized approach. In addition to my work as a clinician, I also serve as a supervisor, consultant, and trainer to clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and build their clinical skills. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and my Bachelor's degree in Human Development Psychology from DePaul University.
