Our therapists offer grief & loss counseling in Normal, IL

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 10 years of experience, and more than 6 years of experience working as a therapist. Prior to working as a professional counselor, I provided clinical case management to individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues in a variety of settings. I am passionate about helping individuals who are striving to overcome issues like depression, anxiety, life transitions, anger, self-destructive behavior (substance use, self-sabotage, etc.), and existential crises.

I completed my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Marquette University. I take a strength-based approach with each client, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in my care.

As a counselor who has been influenced by the work of Dr. Viktor Frankl, I place emphasis on helping clients to create meaning in the midst of difficult circumstances in order to turn tragedies into triumphs. If you are ready to explore how you can best respond to your current challenges, schedule an appointment with me today.

I'm Abiola Odusanya, D.N.P., PMHNP. I have 20 years of experience in psychiatry. I work with clients who have ADHD, depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges. I'm a fun-loving mom of teens and young adults who knows firsthand that life can be messy, stressful, and unpredictable—whether you're a teen navigating school and friendships, a parent juggling family and work, or an adult facing life's unexpected challenges. I see each client as a unique person and understand that mental health isn't one-size-fits-all.

I take a holistic, individualized approach to care, seeing each person as more than their diagnosis. I work closely with clients and families to create a judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey. My goal is to provide compassionate, practical care tailored to your needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family—talking, watching movies, and shopping. I also enjoy traveling, reading, and listening to gospel music. I believe mental health care can be supportive and uplifting, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing, resilience, and growth.

My name is Kelly Summitt and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I have worked with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, domestic violence, trauma, personality disorders, and other mental health concerns. I have worked with both adolescents and adults. I work with individuals who want to improve their emotional wellbeing and decrease the impact of trauma or other mental health concerns on their daily life. I enjoy working with individuals collaboratively to meet their goals.

While my approach primarily consists of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, I utilize an eclectic approach and will incorporate other methods into practice to meet an individual’s needs. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship and value input and feedback from the individual I am working with.

Therapy can often be overwhelming initially, so I commend you for taking that first step and reaching out. I look forward to meeting you and working with you on achieving your goals.
