Willow Krafcik, LCSW (They/Them)

As a neurodiverse clinician with chronic illness, Willow brings their whole self to working with their community. Their goal is always to give clients the opportunity to feel seen, heard and supported. They are non-judgmental, caring, and somewhat goofy. Willow has experience working in a variety of settings around grief/loss, identity development, trauma/abuse, anxiety, depression and disability concerns, and has training and experience in trauma-informed play therapy and utilizing expressive arts in therapeutic work. Their approach is grounded in attachment-theory, narrative therapy, harm reduction, disability justice, and family systems theory.

Willow enjoys integrating somatic and neurological support when working with learning disabilities, PTSD, autism, OCD, and ADHD. They take an intersectional, justice-focused approach to the care they provide. They affirm all genders, races, sexualities, ethnicities, and faiths.

With a soft approach, Willow can collaborate with you to better understand yourself and to connect with the world around you in ways that feel accessible. Their ultimate goal is always to nurture your weird/odd/authentic self.

Willow practices therapy in Illinois.
