Hello & Welcome.
Well Grounded to me means a lot of different things but overall it’s about having a regulated nervous system. It means, making sure your cup is full before you try to fill others. It’s realizing that putting yourself first doesn’t mean you can’t show up in your other relationships. My goal is to help you find ways to reclaim your time, energy and power, so that you can be well & stay grounded. I want you to feel grounded in your shoes, socks and on this earth so that you can take up the space that surrounds you. You have to be grounded before you can blossom and you deserve to bloom.
My name is Dominique and I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor based in Chicago. I received my masters in clinical mental health counseling from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois.
Prior to my work in private practice, I worked in non-profit assisting those who needed a higher level of care (i.e. schizophrenia, borderline personality, bi-polar, etc). My role as their therapist was to help them develop the skills necessary to function effectively within the community along with medication management.
As a therapist, I strive to decolonize therapy. I’m notorious for keeping it real and calling out any BS that stands in between you and creating lasting change. I specialize in a unique approach to healing called no nonsense therapy. Yes, you read that right—no nonsense therapy. It’s my mission to help you break free from rigid thought patterns, emotional blocks, and the traditional confines of conventional therapy by embracing creativity, humor, and unorthodox methods.
I believe that sometimes the best way to make real change in your life is to throw out the rulebook, laugh at the absurdities of life, and approach problems with fresh eyes. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships, or self-doubt, my approach helps you explore new perspectives, release tension, and gain insight in ways you never thought possible.

Hello, my name is Sonya D Willis and I’m a licensed professional counselor. I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years and I have been licensed for over seven. I received my Master’s degree in Counseling, specializing in Marriage, Couples, and Family from Governors State University. I’m currently a PhD student studying education and supervision, with a focus in trauma and crisis. Throughout my profession, I have taught and organized courses in counseling. I started supervising clinicians and then began practicing more in private practice and bigger corporations. I have worked in all settings with a multitude of people, but particularly my focus has been with African-American clients. I specialize in helping individuals, youth, families, couples, both married and preparing for marriage. I’m certified in the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy.
There are many changes and challenges that we face in life and I’m here to help you sort through them. I also can help navigate other challenges including but not limited to treatments regarding trauma in relation to sexual related disorders and the complexities of other stress-related diagnoses and transitional phases. A no-nonsense approach is important to me because realism matters. On the journey of improving and sustaining mental health, it’s important to be real with yourself about your expectations, what you can change and how you plan to improve. With the endless number of resources and techniques that we can explore, I can help you obtain your goals more confidently and help you feel empowered to improve your mental health.
