Chicago Compass Counseling, LLC

Chicago Compass Counseling, LLC Discover powerful change. Solution-focused online therapy in Chicago, IL. Our mission is to help our clients create the lives they want to live.

We are dedicated to helping people free themselves from the cycle of self-destructive behavior. We want our clients to feel purpose, meaning, and value in their daily experience. This means we reject any "one size fits all model" for behavior change. Our VIP-level service is tailored to each client at their current level of readiness to change. We believe that ALL people are capable of change. Whether our client is engaging problem behavior or is the loved one of someone who is struggling, we are here to provide evidence-based support, connection, and a path towards integrity for anyone who has suffered from the effects of problem behaviors. Sometimes our client is an individual, and at other times, our client is the family system. We practice harm reduction with clients who are ambivalent about changing. We believe that each one of our clients can achieve value-based living.

Your body holds stories your mind can’t always put into words.
That racing heart. The tension in your shoulders. The moments you feel completely shut down.

✨ That’s trauma living in the body.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps you reconnect with yourself. Instead of just talking about what happened, this therapy uses your body’s signals as a pathway to healing.

💙 With time, you can release stored pain, feel more grounded in the present, and begin trusting your body again.

As Kelsey Weissburg, LCSW, shares: “Healing can’t be rushed. But when we learn to listen to our bodies, the process becomes a lot more possible.”

On the outside, people might see you as calm and capable, the one others lean on.
But inside? Anxiety, pressure, and even shame can feel like constant companions.

That’s where Kelsey Weissburg, LCSW, comes in.
She helps teens and adults slow down, release what’s heavy, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that feel buried.

✨ Her philosophy is simple: healing can’t be rushed.
Every session with Kelsey is a space where you get to set the pace, explore your story, and learn tools to move through anxiety, trauma, or grief without judgment.

💙 Whether you’re navigating burnout, loss, or just the weight of being “the strong one” for everyone else, Kelsey offers therapy that’s relational, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care.

“I want to support them, but I’m so tired.”

Caroline Lin works with partners, parents, and family members who are deeply committed to their neurodivergent loved one’s well-being but don’t know how to set boundaries, ask for care, or stop over-functioning.

Therapy with Caroline is relational, trauma-informed, and disability-affirming. You’ll get a space where your needs also matter and learn how to show up for each other without burning out.

Because loving someone doesn’t mean losing yourself.

📥 Caroline is accepting new clients for Fall. Therapy available in English & Mandarin.

High-functioning doesn’t mean healthy.
For many neurodivergent adults, burnout doesn’t show up as a breakdown.

It shows up as emotional flatness, sensory overload, and a quiet disconnection from your own needs.

Caroline Lin, CRC, LCPC helps clients who are masking, overachieving, and constantly “on” but feel like they’re fading in the background of their own lives.

Her therapy is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and centered on honoring your lived experience. Together, you’ll explore what burnout really looks like for you and how to come back to yourself with care, not shame.

If therapy has never felt like it was built for your brain, Caroline offers something different.

“Why does life feel harder than it should?”
That’s the quiet question Caroline Lin’s clients bring into therapy, often after years of pushing through burnout, masking emotions, or second-guessing their own needs.

Caroline is a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed therapist fluent in English and Mandarin. Her work centers adults who’ve had to adapt to systems that were never designed for how they think, feel, or move through the world.

Whether you’re navigating sensory burnout, cultural stress, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, therapy with Caroline makes room for all of it. No forced positivity. No clinical distance. Just care that meets you where you are.

What if the thing you’re “supposed” to have figured out is the very thing pulling you under?

Kenzo Shibata gets it. As a former teacher, advocate, and now therapist, he knows what it’s like to carry the weight of expectations while quietly unraveling inside.

If you’re juggling work, family, and the pressure to “do it all” and feeling like you’re losing yourself in the process, Kenzo offers something rare: a space that’s practical, grounded, and radically human.

Specializing in alcohol moderation and men’s mental health, Kenzo helps high-achieving adults (especially those socialized to suppress vulnerability) reconnect with balance, strength, and self-trust.

Therapy isn’t a script. It’s not a test.
And it’s not just for people in crisis.

Kenzo Shibata offers therapy that meets you where you are, whether that’s burnout, drinking to cope, or just feeling disconnected from who you used to be.

His sessions aren’t about being “good” at feelings.
They’re about having space to be honest. To think out loud. To shift something that’s been stuck.

If therapy hasn’t felt like an option before, maybe now it does.

Men’s mental health doesn’t get discussed enough.
And when it does, it’s often simplified or pathologized.

Kenzo Shibata works with men who are burned out, drinking to cope, or just feeling emotionally stuck.
They’re not “weak.”
They’re tired of pretending everything’s fine.

If you think therapy is intimidating or performative, Kenzo offers a different experience:
💬 Honest conversations
⚖️ Support without pressure
🧠 Practical help, not platitudes

Exhaustion isn’t always about how much you’re doing.
Sometimes, it’s about how much you’re avoiding.
Shame. Grief. Fear. Anger. All the feelings we were taught to push down.

Kenzo Shibata helps clients stop wasting energy on emotional avoidance and start building lives that actually feel good to live in.

If you’re tired of feeling numb, tired of powering through, or tired of being tired, therapy might help you figure out what’s underneath the exhaustion.
