About me
I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. I begin with a person-centered approach to build comfort and trust, helping you share your story and identify goals at your own pace.
My name is Barbara “Barb” Benn, a licensed counselor in Illinois with 18 years of experience supporting teens, adults, seniors, individuals, couples, and groups. I have worked across diverse settings, including community-based care, helping clients navigate both mental and medical challenges. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, schizophrenia, adjustment disorders, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Using a holistic approach, I tailor care to each person’s unique needs, meeting you where you are and guiding you toward meaningful, lasting change.
