Meet the Team

As the Founder and CEO of ICG, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Ashley brings well over a decade of experience providing mental health services in a variety of settings including hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient therapy practices. She earned her Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2008 and enjoys working with a diverse client population of men and women of all race, ethnicity, and sexual identity, from adolescence to late adulthood. Ashley utilizes a mind-body wellness approach that combines evidence-based psychotherapy techniques (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with promotion of healthier lifestyle habits that have been shown to produce better mental, emotional, and physical well-being. She is experienced in working with anxiety and depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, women's issues and maternal mental health, trauma and PTSD, LGBTQI, self-esteem and identity issues, adolescent and young adult transitions, relationship problems, veterans and military families.

Ashley sees clients via telehealth, as well as in both the Naperville and Oak Park offices. She is a professional member of the Illinois Counseling Association, Division of Mental Health, and the IL Chapter of Postpartum Support International. She has earned a certificate in advanced psychotherapy for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and is an active member of PSI-IL, serving on the Justice and Advocacy committee. Most recently, she has begun a 3-year advanced training program to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner that will further expand her skills in body-orientated therapies and specialized trauma treatment. Ashley is the proud wife of a Navy veteran and mother to three young boys, aka The Wolfpack.

  Tatiana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health at Loyola University Chicago in 2014. She has been practicing direct clinical counseling for the last six years to immigrant communities on the Southwest side of Chicago. Additionally, Tatiana is an adjunct professor at Loyola University in their bilingual social work program. Tatiana has extensive experience working with individuals who are combating symptoms of anxiety, depression, complex trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. She has worked with many pregnant and postpartum mothers (families) over the years, leading her to seeking advanced training opportunities through Postpartum Support International (2020). She has trained in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, achieving Level 1 Certification, and practices with the mind-body focus embodied by ICG. Tatiana believes that healing occurs by creating and nurturing safety in the therapeutic relationship/process. She works in a collaborative manner with her clients to identify their growth process and recognize emotional or cognitive obstacles that might be interfering with their growth, helping clients regain a sense of security and control through developing insight and gathering resources from within themselves and their environment. 

Tatiana sees clients via telehealth, as well as both the Oak Park and Naperville offices. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. She is a wife, mother, and Colombian immigrant with such a passion for helping under served populations that she reserves time to volunteer her skills to assist those in various communities.
