Getting to know Shanelle Koroma
Hi there :)
Struggling with life can be really tough, especially during these times. Identifying that you may need mental health support is a GREAT step toward improving your functioning. I know it can be scary seeking mental health support, especially if it is your first time, but I can assure you that investing in yourself is the right step!
Therapy is aimed at helping you sort out what it is you are actually going through, and as a therapist, I partner with you to take control back over your life.
When seeking a therapist, you want to find a person you vibe with and can open up to. Most importantly, someone who has the tools and experience to help you.
I specialize in all types of trauma, life transitions, art therapy, and more. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to have a free phone consultation. It lasts about 30 minutes and it just gets us a chance to know one another and to see if I am a good fit for you.
Rooting for ya,
Shanelle

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.

A breath of fresh air! I was listened to, further steps were recommended and she really seemed to care. This is such a change from previous mental health docs!

I appreciate Shanlle's treatment approach and would recommend her to everyone I know! With my previous therapy provider, I found it was more of a venting session and my mood determined the tone of the treatment sessions. There were times when I was seeking guidance on making certain decisions or gaining tips on how to best utilize the things I learned while in therapy, but I found it challenging as it felt like I had a lack of support. Overall, I struggled with holding myself accountable and motivated. With that, even if I come to our sessions feeling like I am in a rut or misunderstood, I always walk away feeling challenged, empowered, focused on my goals for being in treatment, and a warm fuzzy feeling because I finally feel seen by my therapy provider. I appreciate the expertise and experience that Shanelle brings to each and every session, especially those related to gaining perspective on my situation. Not to sound overly sappy, but I am looking forward to continuing our treatment-based relationship. Shanelle's candor and guidance have come at just the right time and I am really happy I was able to enlist her assistance for treatment.
