I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I'm Simone Shepardson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with nearly two decades of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I've worked across a range of clinical settings — inpatient care, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient therapy — which has given me a deep understanding of how to meet clients wherever they are in their journey. I specialize in working with gifted populations, high-functioning autism, anxiety, ADHD, and family dynamics. I've served over 10 years on the board of the Illinois Association for Play Therapy and previously acted as a clinical advisor to the West Suburban Bipolar Group in DuPage County. Outside of my practice, I'm a professionally trained singer and musician, a dancer, and a devoted wife and mother.

Makeda Ray

Makeda Ray

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I'm Makeda (Kee)!

Many people come to therapy after spending so much time taking care of everyone else that they've lost sight of themselves. You may be carrying anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or navigating a major life transition while trying to hold everything together on the outside. You don't have to carry it alone.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll better understand what's contributing to your current challenges while building practical tools that help you feel more confident, emotionally balanced, and connected to the life you want to create. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where meaningful growth and lasting change can happen.
