Lizette Chacon, LMSW

Mental Health Therapist 

As a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish), I am passionate about helping people heal through difficult times, from past trauma, grief, and loss, as well as the different challenges one could be facing. I understand that no single approach works for every single individual, therefore I use an eclectic approach to treat each patient’s needs.

As your therapist, I am here to support you, as well as help you learn and grow throughout the process of healing. I understand the value of having someone listen to you, to be in a safe and non-judgmental space, and to feel validated.

My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master’s in Social Work from Michigan State University.

I am here to help create a space where you can set in motion changes in your life that are are transformative and fulfilling.

Whether you are an older adult, adult caregiver, or adult seeking therapy, I will partner with you to listen, support, and help you grow. We all have difficult times throughout life managing situations or trauma for ourselves or regarding those around us. We all need a non-judgemental space to identify strengths and resources to overcome them. 

Educational Background and Clinical Approach:
I obtained my Masters in Social Work (MSW)  and a Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work (Ph.D.) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL.

I use evidence based integrative therapeutic orientations to address the needs of my clients. 

Jose Garcia, LMSW, LCSW

Mental Health Therapist

In life, one can feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, maybe even lost at times. I believe in a hands-on approach to solving problems, giving you the tools necessary to take on those new challenges or begin to address the hurt you have put away.

I’m a therapist and life coach with over 20 years of Social Work experience. My background encompasses working with at-risk youth K-12, college and graduate students, families, and older adults.  

My goal is to teach people life skills that will give you purpose, hope, and vision of transformation, personal growth, and a positive mental attitude. My work in direct practice with individuals and families has allowed me to help people overcome life pressures and find peace, forgiveness, and self-love. I create a judgment-free space, ready when you are to begin healing conversations.
