We’re so excited to welcome Barb Spall, MS, LPC to the Counseling Works team! 💛

Barb helps teens, young adults, and adults who are feeling anxious, navigating life changes, or struggling in their relationships. She’s especially passionate about supporting clients through low self-esteem, divorce, and women’s issues helping them feel more confident and grounded when life feels overwhelming.

“I enjoy building relationships with people and have always been fascinated by human behavior,” Barb shares. “I’m motivated to help them improve their relationship to themselves and to the other important people in their lives. I want to make an impact on society, one person at a time.”

When new clients walk into her office, Barb wants them to know one thing right away: “I am here for you, and I will be your ally. Together, we’ll collaborate to find clarity and a path forward.”

Barb provides individual and couples counseling at our Naperville and Lemont locations, drawing from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Strengths-Based approaches to help clients feel supported and empowered.

Menopause depression isn't "just hormones"—it's a real experience that deserves real support. The hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can trigger or worsen depression, leaving you feeling like you've lost yourself.

Depression is a very internal struggle, and many people who deal with depression feel isolated. The first way that therapy helps with depression is by giving you an opportunity to talk about your experience with a knowledgeable professional. In many ways, the process of simply saying out loud what you’ve been thinking and feeling can help to normalize and curb the severity of these deep emotions and difficult thoughts.

Every relationship faces challenges, but they don't have to define your marriage. Couples counseling provides a safe space where both partners can communicate openly, understand each other's perspectives, and rebuild the connection that brought you together. Strong marriages aren't built on perfection, they're built on the willingness to grow together. Professional guidance can help you transform challenges into opportunities for deeper understanding and lasting connection.

At Counseling Works, we have experience partnering with couples in marriages at every stage, and we can help you create a lasting partnership, communicate better, achieve relationship goals, and grow closer together. Therapy for married couples can help you establish a healthy partnership in the early part of your marriage, maintain a positive and thriving relationship, heal from marriage injury, or work through tough times together.

We’re so excited to welcome Krystina Bossany, LCPC to the Counseling Works team! 🌟

Krystina works with children, adolescents, and teens to help them manage stress, work through trauma, and adjust to big life changes such as divorce. She also supports kids and families navigating anxiety, anger, and everyday challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field - including 8 years as a clinical supervisor and director - Krystina brings both expertise and adaptability into every session. She draws on CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT while using strengths-based strategies to empower kids and teens to move forward.

Krystina describes her style as supportive but also gently challenging when needed. “I want my clients to know they are in a safe place, and I will always protect that safe space,” she shares.

For clients who may feel discouraged, she reminds them: “You might not have met the right therapist yet who understands your experiences and the way you need to learn in order to grow…never stop trying.”

We’re so grateful to have her join our team and can’t wait for the impact she’ll have on the families she serves.

At Counseling Works, we don’t just place you with whoever is available next. We take the time to understand your story: your needs, your goals, and what kind of support feels best for you.

That way, you’re matched with a clinician who is more than just a provider. They’re someone who can walk alongside you, meet you where you are, and help guide you toward the growth you’re seeking.

Because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all and neither is our approach to care.

✨ If you’re ready to find a therapist who truly feels like the right fit, reach out to Counseling Works today.
