Teletherapy for Adults in Illinois and California
Am I there yet?
Nice job! You got there! After racing hard to get your education, your job, your business, your independence, stability is finally here.
Or maybe not!
You thought this was it! Why isn’t it feeling good yet?
Sad – Stressed – Anxious – Fearful – Confused – Angry – Alone – Not confident – Still worried – Tired – Depressed
I get it.
Am I enough already?
You keep taking on challenges to prove to yourself and the world that you are enough, but you never get to be good enough – at least not yet.
Questions abound in your mind: Does your boss like your work? Do your coworkers like you? Are your parents happy with your choices?
You had a goal of where you were supposed to be at this time in your life. But that goal feels just out of reach.
Am I who they think I am or am I me?
Being the only Latinx, Black, Asian, woman, LGBTQ-identified, non-Christian, not abled-body, immigrant, refugee – it ain’t easy.
Either speaking up or staying quiet are costly and exhausting to you. Trying to blend in – or the opposite, stand out – takes all your focus.
Lately stuff you had never felt before has been interfering with your work and relationships.
You can’t escape your feelings forever.
Therapy can’t change the world, but it may change your world. You will have a handy toolbox to face life. The toolbox will include self-compassion, self-acceptance, and letting go of expectations.
After therapy, you are in the driver’s seat, which means you choose how to respond to the past, your emotions, and unexpected life events. Healthy relationships with others and yourself are one of the many benefits therapy gifts you.
Joy, freedom, and community are closer than you think. Come experience these for yourself.
It’s costly to change;
it is more costly not to change.
The cost is suffering, loneliness, and sadness.
The cost is the feeling of constantly going uphill but never getting to the top.
And worse, to travel that journey joyless.
Let me help you learn how to manage the costs.
To know love, we have to invest time and commitment.

Hola, I am Andrea Godinez.
Andrea Carolina Godinez, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and California and would love working with you.
Walking with my clients toward self-understanding, confidence, peace, compassion, empowerment, authenticity, and freedom brings joy to me.
Ain’t easy; ain’t always fun; but this work is super worth it. And you don’t have to do that work alone.
My clients enjoy a safe and supportive space where they can take control and learn how to get the most out of their life and relationships.
You won’t find an expert who sees you as a fuck-up, failure, or a diagnosis. I am your fellow human who is as likely as you are to face challenges. You will find respect for who you are when you work with me.
