Jaylan Abd Elrahman
Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills into their day to day and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels liberating, life-affirming, and meaningful.
My goal is to offer a space that feels collaborative, creative and deeply human- a space where your story is met with curiosity, compassion and trust. My work is guided by Humanistic and Relational Cultural approaches, shining light on and engaging the unique wisdom you already come with and paying close attention to the cultural, racial and systemic forces that shape all our lived experiences. Our sessions might integrate story sharing, trauma processing, skill building, mindfulness and somatic practices, and expressive arts, depending on what feels most supportive to you week to week. I hope that clients experience therapy as venues for personal transformation that offer relief, clarity, levity and empowerment.
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach at several Chicago-area universities and have spent over a decade developing healing-centered programs for migrant youth and women of color in community-based settings. These experiences continue to inform my deep respect for various cultural and ancestral modalities of healing, as well as an appreciation for the many ways people continue to dream new lives into reality!
If you’re seeking a therapist who approaches this process with humility, warmth, humor and a sincere commitment in your growth, I would be eager to connect with you!

I help women—especially Black and Brown women—find relief from anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. If you’re tired of carrying everything on your own, therapy with me is a space to finally breathe, feel seen, and reconnect with who you are underneath the stress. Together, we’ll work through the pain, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build the confidence to move forward. You don’t have to hold it all alone anymore. You’re in the right place.

Ariana Marciniak
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
Ariana is passionate about working with populations holding intersectional identities. She supports adolescence and young adults in navigating their identity, relationships, and life transitions. As a queer, multiethnic therapist, she also has a passion for working with LGBTQ+ folks and people of color, holding space for the ways oppression, intergenerational trauma, and systemic barriers intersect with mental health.
As a multicultural, multiethnic therapist of Mexican and Polish heritage, I understand what it’s like to exist in the in-between—navigating identity, belonging, and the push and pull of different cultural expectations. I work closely with couples and those in non-monogamous relationships, using the Gottman Method, attachment-based therapy, and relational interventions to uncover disconnections and help you experience your relationships in their fullest, healthiest form. I also support couples working through sexual discrepancies, ineffective communication, and patterns of conflict that create distance rather than connection. Using Nonviolent Communication (NVC), I help partners develop deeper understanding, express needs with clarity, and cultivate emotional and physical intimacy in ways that feel safe and fulfilling for both partners.
