In The Moment Child and Family Therapy

Introducing my new Practicum student from Northwestern University, Lensy Porior! She is currently accepting adult pro bono clients. If you or someone you know is in need of therapy services and are unable to afford it, this is a great opportunity.

Education
Clinical Mental Health Counseling master’s student at Northwestern University
I am currently completing my practicum training at In The Moment Child & Family Therapy. I am excited to begin this stage of my counseling journey by working directly with clients.

I believe that counseling provides a unique opportunity for individuals to better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and work toward the goals that matter most to them. We will do this together! My hope is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to share their experiences. I value approaching each person with cultural humility, curiosity, and an appreciation for the unique experiences and perspectives they bring into the counseling relationship.

While I am pursuing a specialization in child and adolescent mental health, I look forward to working with clients across the lifespan, including adults. I feel honored to walk alongside clients as they discover their strengths, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward creating the life they envision for themselves. As I continue to grow as a counselor, I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from the individuals and families I serve.

September has some exciting things happening! We are moving into a larger office in mid-September to accommodate a new addition to the practice/ministry. Bethany Leonard from Wheaton College will begin her internship and is accepting new clients! She specializes with adults and children across the lifespan who have experienced trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, identity issues, and life transitions. She is particularly interested in working with those in ministry and their families, individuals doing deconstruction work, and those with spiritual and religious wounds and trauma.

You can imagine the magnanimity of raising human beings. All said and done, it is a huge challenge. Being a parent doesn’t require any qualifications, but a willingness to constantly do the inner work because parents are their children’s role models, children seek guidance, love, warmth and affe...

I recently attended a dinner party at my friend`s house. I walked inside right on time and immediately noticed toys scattered about the living room. My friend`s children were running around mischievously, and my friend was frantically trying to put food in the oven. She barely acknowledged my arriva...

In the Christmas season, there is a lot demanding our attention: lists to be made, parties to attend, packages to buy, and food to prepare. The more I can intentionally be prepared, the more present I am for my friends and family. Here is what I have on hand, so when I most need it, I am ready.

In our blind, hurried rush through the Christmas holidays each year, many of us are much like small children who tear through a pile of wrapped gifts on Christmas morning. Once the frenzy is over, they sit on the floor surrounded by paper and boxes and toys … and cry because it’s all over. Is th...

Virtually every human being is, in some way, striving to be happy, and everyone’s notion of what will bring them happiness is unique to them.

It’s usually an innocent enough query, often delivered with care or concern by a spouse or well-meaning friend. But if you grew up in a family that ignored or discounted your feelings (childhood emotional neglect), this question can feel almost like an accusation or challenge.

Every single time your parents fail to respond emotionally to you when you need it, you are receiving messages from your parents. Unstated, subliminal messages, most likely, but that gives them even more influence over you.
