Carmen F. Juneidi

Carmen F. Juneidi (she/hers)

  • Licensure: Illinois and Florida (US)
  • Services: Individual and couples therapy, 100% Telehealth. Ages 13 and up.
  • Carmen’s message: I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist with personal and professional experience working with neurodivergent people, as well as other groups facing discrimination in our society. I understand the unique challenges affecting the neurodivergent population, including vulnerability to experience trauma, dismissal and invalidation throughout their lives. This often results in Complex PTSD, anxiety and difficulties regarding trusting themselves and others. Using a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach, I help autistic/ADHD people live safely and authentically in the world, knowing how to set boundaries and communicate their needs effectively. I help them honor their energy patterns to avoid anxiety and burnout, help them process their traumatic experiences and help create more accurate narratives of those events. It is important for me to create a strong therapeutic alliance, in which my clients feel seen, heard and safe. I always welcome honest feedback and I strive to be a better clinician with each passing year. I am 100% bilingual in Spanish and English.

Brooke Garren, LCSW (she/her)

  • Illinois and Indiana Licensed Clinical Social Worker
  • Services: child and adult individual and group therapy, adult and individual coaching, DIR/Floortime Therapy
  • Brooke’s message: Brooke (she, her, hers) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to treating individuals, couples and families navigating neurological differences. Her clinical interests lie in aiding neurodivergents to understand themselves, hone their differences, and in teaching families how to support their neurodivergent loved ones in an affirming way. She also focuses on addressing trauma, sensory integration issues, perfectionism, and self-esteem/self-acceptance.
    • Brooke uses a person-centered, strength-based approach in working with clients and the relationships they have in their lives. Brooke believes the dominant approach to ND care in schools and therapeutic approaches are at odds with neurodivergent affirming care and fails to understand the complexity of the individual and their unique differences. To mitigate this, Brooke uses an integrative model of change, highlighting the strengths of different theories to fit the clients’ identified needs.
    • Brooke is both a nurturing and direct therapist, displaying patience with the process of treatment and providing a safe and secure relationship with which clients can process their vulnerabilities. With a client’s aspirations in mind, she holds him or her accountable for the change they desire and moves with them on their path to achieving their goals.
