Jasmine Barlow, MA

We all need someone to talk to about our struggles and our dreams. We deserve safe spaces to be present and process experiences, thoughts, and feelings that can leave us overwhelmed. In your busy life it can be hard to find the time to focus on your own goals and even harder to know where to start. My role as a therapist is to support you on your journey of self-discovery by providing the time and space to prioritize your well-being.

I strive to meet you where you are with sincerity, patience, and optimism, and to encourage open dialogue about your values and ideals in therapy. For these reasons my core treatment modalities are acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and Adlerian therapy. While understanding our past and envisioning our future can inspire us, it is through acceptance of our present and commitment to our goals that help us make lasting changes.

I practice holistic, multicultural therapy and believe that fostering community and social support are important aspects of healing and growth. I welcome conversations about race, gender, culture, sexuality, or other parts of clients’ identities. I am working towards my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adler University and have worked in a variety of professions. I have extensive experience with clients of all ages and as a mental health technician I help patients with a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, substance use.

To incorporate rest, I spend time with loved ones, read books, watch anime, journal, and care for my plants. In the future, I hope to conduct both individual and group therapy with clients of various ages and backgrounds, and continue my involvement with Chicago’s South Side communities.
