Getting to know Stefani Jivkova
My name is Stefani, and I am a therapist practicing for 6 years. I hold a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from the Chicago School and have my senior counseling license (LCPC) in Illinois. My professional background is diverse, ranging from working with high acuity clients in inpatient and correctional settings to supporting lower acuity clients through outpatient telehealth services. I have experience treating multiple mental health disorders and issues, as well as helping clients manage life stressors and adjustments.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As my client, you can expect to create a clear plan for achieving the therapeutic goals that we create. You can expect to leave each session with something to process alone or a skill to incorporate in your life. All of the goals and plans we will create together and at a personalized pace. I will meet you where you are at in your treatment. I am aware the pace of treatment can vary, so we will build strong and assertive communication skills that are both honest and effective in your treatment.

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.
