Juana Pfadt, Therapist

My Approach: Collaborative

I value collaboration that is considerate and practical, balancing insight with tools you can actually use, while remaining flexible and paced in a way that feels sustainable. This includes building systems and strategies that support focus, follow-through, and emotional regulation in everyday life, while also making space to understand the frustration, self-doubt, and relational impact that can come with feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Trustworthy Experience You Can Count On

Before becoming a therapist, I worked over a decade in hospitality and luxury travel sales, where I learned to connect with people from all walks of life. That work helped me appreciate diversity not only in thought, but also in culture, identity, values, family systems, and lived experience. Over time, I found myself wanting work that was more meaningful and connected.

I bring warmth, authenticity, and humor when it fits, and I believe therapy does not always have to feel heavy to be meaningful. Above all, I aim to offer a safe, supportive space to explore what may be ready to change, what may need to be understood more deeply, and what parts of you may be asking for more care and attention.

Lets Work Together

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Illinois, I offer virtual and in-person sessions in Chicago’s Loop. If you are feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next, we can work together to foster greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and a stronger sense of connection with yourself and others.
