About

Jessica Tillman

MA, LPC

Anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions

Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own or aren’t sure where to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself, without pressure, judgment, or feeling like you have to have all the “right” words.

At a Glance

Clients: Adolescents and adults
Primary focus: Anxiety, trauma, and life transitions
Style: Authentic, practical, and conversational
Appointments: In person in Evanston and online throughout Illinois

Credentials

  • MA, LPC
  • I hold master's degrees in general psychology and clinical mental health counseling from Walden University.

Approach

What Therapy With Jessica Is Like

My path into this field hasn’t been traditional. After attending medical school in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, I experienced my own challenges and transitions, which shaped the way I connect with others.

Because of that, I approach therapy from a place of both clinical understanding and real-life experience. I often use approaches like CBT and DBT to help clients better understand themselves, manage emotions, and develop practical coping tools that fit into everyday life.

I look forward to supporting you in your journey toward growth, healing, and self-understanding.

Experience & Education

Professional Background

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, everyday stress, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and other mental health challenges. I know life can feel heavy sometimes, and I believe therapy should be a space where you can slow down, process your experiences, and feel genuinely supported.

Beyond the Therapy Room

A Little About Me

Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and finding spaces that allow people to relax and be themselves. I also appreciate humor and believe authenticity, connection, and feeling understood can play an important role in healing and personal growth.

I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable showing up as themselves. I look forward to supporting you in your journey toward growth, healing, and self-understanding!
