Meet Lili Jacobson

Hi there! I am Lili, a licensed psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience treating teens and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and complex mental health conditions. My client population is vast, ranging from first responders to survivors to adolescents and parents who’ve spent years holding it all together for others. After earning my master’s degree from Northwestern University, I’ve worked in alongside school systems, reentry programs, inpatient units, jails, and shelters, helping people in crisis move toward clarity and recovery. More recently in private practice I have focused on helping my teen and adult clients navigate the challenges of everyday life including family, romantic, and employment concerns as well as stressors faced by students and families dealing with academic/behavioral challenges and/or IEP meetings. My approach is direct, practical, and rooted in real-world care—not theory. I focus on what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to shift. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD,  anxiety, burnout, or ADHD, I know that progress doesn’t mean being “fixed”—it means learning how to function and move forward, even when things are hard.  I understand the barriers that make it hard to seek help which is why I offer a steady, no-nonsense space where you don’t have to explain everything—I get it! And I provide the safe space and expertise to work through it, as well!
