Rakema Booker-Ward, LPC

I'm happy you're here. That means you’re ready to grow, to heal, and to reconnect with the version of you that feels whole, grounded, and fully seen. And I want you to know that decision alone is powerful.

 

If you've been feeling unwanted, unloved, or like you're just going through the motions, always strong for everyone else but silently crumbling inside, you may be struggling with anxious thoughts that won't stop, battling low moods that steal your energy, or carrying emotional wounds that no one else can see. Maybe your relationships feel strained, or you're just tired of pretending to be okay when you're not.

 

As an Illinois-based therapist, I specialize in helping women like you. I offer a space where you don't have to hold it all together, where you can take the mask off, speak your truth, and feel heard without judgment.

 

My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and genuine connection. I help my clients explore the negative thought patterns and emotional blocks that have been keeping them stuck while also recognizing the strengths they already have. 

 

Together, we work to reframe how you see yourself, heal from past pain, and develop the tools you need to move forward with more confidence, clarity, and calm.

 

Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or experiencing one of many life transitions, our work will be collaborative and empowering. 

 

Therapy isn't about fixing you; it's about helping you reconnect with the resilient, powerful version of yourself that's already there.

 

So, if you're ready to release what's been weighing you down and start your healing journey, I'm here to walk alongside you. You don't have to do it alone.

 

Let's take that next step together.
