FOR PROFESSIONALS
Refer a client to Embrace.
We welcome referrals from therapists, physicians, healthcare providers, schools, and other professionals looking to connect someone with thoughtful, trauma-informed therapy.
Whether you’re referring for a specific concern, looking for a particular therapeutic approach, or simply trying to find someone who may be a good fit, we’re happy to help.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Care for the whole person- not just the presenting concern.
Embrace Counseling Center provides therapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in St. Charles and online throughout Illinois.
Clients come to us for support with concerns including:
Anxiety & Stress
Depression
Trauma & PTSD
ADHD & Neurodivergence
Grief & Loss
Chronic Pain
Life Transitions
Parenting & Family Concerns
Relationship Concerns
Substance Use Recovery
We know a referral is about more than matching a diagnosis to a therapist. When helping someone get connected, we consider their needs, preferences, identity and lived experience, therapeutic goals, availability, and the kind of relationship they’re looking for in therapy.
OUR CLINICAL APPROACH
Different people need different ways into the work.
Our clinicians draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed, relational, and mind-body approaches based on the individual client and what feels useful to them.
Our team’s training and approaches include:
EMDR
Brainspotting
Somatic Therapy & Somatic Experiencing
Sandtray Therapy
Child-Centered Play Therapy
Attachment-Focused & Relational Therapy
Rather than assuming one modality is right for everyone, we work collaboratively with clients to understand what they’re experiencing and determine what approach may make sense from there.
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE CARE
We stay curious about the person you’re sending our way.
Culture, family, faith, identity, language, community, relationships, and lived experience can all shape what someone brings into therapy.
Our approach to cultural humility means asking rather than assuming. We don’t assume that sharing an identity with a client- or having worked with someone who does- means we already understand their experience.
We want each client to have room to tell us what matters to them.

Not sure whether we have the right therapist or availability for the person you’re referring? You can still reach out. We’re happy to review the referral and determine whether someone on our team may be a good fit.
COORDINATED CARE
Collaboration when it supports the client.
When appropriate and with the client’s authorization, our therapists can collaborate with other members of a client’s care team.
We value thoughtful communication with referring therapists, physicians, psychiatrists, schools, and other professionals when coordinated care supports the client’s treatment.
As always, communication and disclosure of client information are handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and the client’s authorization.
