Therapy in Illinois

A woman with short hair, tattoos on her forearms, and a necklace, standing in front of a bookshelf filled with books and a mug holding pens, smiling at the camera.

I’m Amy Brown, a therapist in internship at Mosaic Nature Therapy and Wellness. I offer virtual and in-person therapy for clients in Illinois under clinical supervision.

My approach is warm, curious, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are not problems to be fixed. Often, distress makes sense when we understand the relationships, expectations, environments, and systems a person has been trying to navigate.

Therapy with me

I’m Amy Brown, a Clinical Intern at Mosaic Nature Therapy. I offer virtual and in-person therapy for clients in Illinois under clinical supervision.

My approach is warm, curious, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are not problems to be fixed. Often, distress makes sense when we understand the relationships, expectations, environments, and systems a person has been trying to navigate.

Who I work with

I am especially interested in supporting clients navigating:

  • anxiety and emotional overwhelm

  • ADHD and neurodivergence

  • motherhood and identity shifts

  • life transitions

  • self-doubt and perfectionism

  • feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected from yourself

  • children and adolescents using creativity, play, and interests as part of the therapeutic process

Format and cost

I see clients in Illinois through Mosaic Nature Therapy, both virtually and in person.

During my internship, clients scheduled with me pay reduced rates. Mosaic Nature Therapy handles scheduling, availability, eligibility, and intake.

Tools & Resources

I started adapting tools, screenings, and worksheets for my clients and realized it may be helpful to others as well. I never save any data on my end. You are welcome to use them and share them as you wish. All resources are cited on the tools themselves, and I only recreate ones that are publicly available and allow reproduction.
