Dr. Mary Jennings, PsyD

Illinois Licensed Clinical Psychologist

As a cis woman who has gone through lots of life transitions, loss, and juggle the rollercoaster of motherhood I strive to provide a safe space for individuals to express themselves free of judgement - I have not lived your life - I strive to understand it.

I am committed to helping others learn how to gain a better understanding of their emotions and live the life they have always wanted. I am passionate about helping others create meaning and value in their life.

My work focuses on an eclectic approach - utilizing CBT and DBT with some realness and humor! I believe in providing tangible coping skills/tools to help manage your symptoms. My goal for you to end each session feeling supported, grounded and developing skill sets.

  • My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in understanding the connection between the mind, body, and nervous system. Together, we’ll explore what’s been shaping your experiences, identify patterns that may no longer be serving you, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded and resilient in daily life.

    Therapy isn’t about fixing you—you’re not broken. It’s about creating space for insight, healing, and growth in a way that feels sustainable and authentic to who you are.

  • Safety & Trust
    Healing begins when you feel emotionally safe. I prioritize creating a space where you feel respected, heard, and supported at your own pace.

    Compassion Over Judgment
    There is no “right” way to struggle. I approach each client with curiosity and empathy, not labels or assumptions.

    Collaboration
    Therapy is a partnership. We work together to identify your goals, honor your strengths, and support meaningful change.

    Authenticity
    You are welcome to show up exactly as you are.
