About Us

Rooted in Compassion. Built with Purpose. Focused on People.

Our mission is to create a warm, inclusive space where both clients and therapists feel supported. We know that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you're unsure if you’ll find the right fit — that’s why we center empathy, connection, and personalized care in everything we do.

Meet Our Therapists

Back in 2018, Katrina and Jessica began collaborating with a clear vision: to create a mental health practice that values both quality care and human connection. After years of working in settings that overlooked the needs of Medicaid clients and mistreated their staff, they knew something had to change.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it gave us a chance to reassess, rebrand, and recommit. In 2020, we launched Feel Good Counseling Center, relocating the practice to Barrington, Illinois. What started as a small idea quickly became a thriving hub of growth, healing, and connection. Since then, FGCC has expanded its reach across the region, including a new Park Ridge satellite office opening in August 2025.

Drawing from our deep experience serving Medicaid populations, we committed to building a practice that not only provided exceptional mental health care, but also felt like a home to both clients and clinicians.

From the very beginning, Katrina and Jessica built this practice on foundation first:

Empowered clinicians, supported by exceptional clinical directors and supervisors
A collaborative, team-based culture that encourages authenticity, growth, and mutual respect
A deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, welcoming all people—regardless of background, income, or insurance type
A shared belief that therapy should feel comforting, accessible, and empowering

Clients walk into our offices and immediately feel the difference: it’s warm, inviting, and alive with purpose. We’re proud that our space feels like a place people look forward to coming—because when people feel comfortable, real healing can begin.

What makes us different?

Regardless of insurance type, income, background, or identity, our commitment to client-centered care prioritizes the unique needs and goals of each individual. We integrate these principles into our sessions. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our practice culture, as we actively celebrate differences and strive to be responsive to the varied identities and experiences of both clients and staff. Continuous growth and learning are encouraged, with ongoing professional development ensuring the practice remains informed by current research and best practices in mental health care.

Looking Ahead

We have big dreams for Feel Good Counseling Center. Our goal is to continue expanding our reach and growing our team so we can meet the needs of more individuals and families across Illinois. But one thing will never change: our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care.

Growth will never come at the expense of quality. We are intentional with every step forward, ensuring that each new therapist, location, and service is rooted in the same values that shaped our beginning: empathy, integrity, and community.
