  • Schedule a Complimentary Consultation

    If you are considering counseling and would like to see whether My Confidant Counseling, PLLC may be a good fit, you can schedule a complimentary consultation with Joerika Stitt, LSW.

    This brief consultation gives you an opportunity to share what you are looking for, ask questions about the practice, and learn more about the services that may be appropriate for you.

    A consultation is not a therapy session and does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

Therapy Services

  • Individual Therapy

    55 Minutes | $150

    Sometimes life feels overwhelming. You may be struggling with your emotions, relationships, past experiences, or changes you never expected.

    Individual therapy helps you make sense of what you're experiencing, recognize unhealthy patterns, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful changes.

    Common concerns include:

    • Anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion

    • Trauma, abuse, and painful past experiences

    • Difficult relationships and family conflict

    • Divorce, separation, and life transitions

    • Grief, loss, and self-esteem

    • Boundaries, trust, and unhealthy coping patterns

    You don't have to know exactly what's wrong to get started.

  • Couples Counseling

    70 Minutes | $200

    Relationships can become strained by conflict, disconnection, broken trust, or communication problems that never seem to improve.

    Couples counseling helps partners understand recurring patterns, communicate more effectively, address difficult issues, and explore healthier ways of relating to one another.

    Whether you're working to strengthen your relationship or navigate an important decision, counseling offers a structured space to move forward.

  • Co-Parenting Counseling

    75 Minutes | $200

    Your relationship as a couple may have ended, but your responsibilities as parents continue.

    Co-parenting counseling supports separated and divorced parents who want to reduce conflict, improve communication, establish healthier boundaries, and keep their children's needs at the center of parenting decisions.

    The focus is not on repairing the former romantic relationship. It's on developing a healthier, more functional co-parenting relationship.

    Participation is subject to an initial assessment of safety, suitability, and family circumstances. Court-involved referrals require additional review.

  • Group Therapy

    $75 Per Participant, Per Session

    Sometimes healing happens through connection with others who understand what you're experiencing.

    My Confidant Counseling offers small, structured therapy groups for adults working through trauma, difficult relationships, family experiences, and personal growth.

    Upcoming Groups

    Reclaiming Yourself

    Healing After Abusive & Controlling Relationships

    Groups are held virtually throughout Illinois. Participation requires an individual screening, and schedules are announced based on enrollment and availability.

  • Fees & Insurance

    My Confidant Counseling is a private-pay practice. Insurance is not billed directly.

    Superbills may be available upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your insurance plan and provider eligibility. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.

    All counseling sessions take place through secure telehealth. Clients must be physically located in Illinois during their sessions.

  • No Attorney-Client Relationship: Participating in therapy does not create an attorney-client relationship.
