About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with over 12 years of experience working with young children, adolescents, adults and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including abuse, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. One of my favorite populations to work with is young people between the ages of 13 and 19 years old.

The skills I developed in my years of work in community counseling and Child Welfare allow me to provide authentic emotional support to teens while helping them build confidence in their developing self! While a young person is figuring out how to be an adolescent and young adult (increasing their independence and autonomy), they still rely on their caregivers and parents for so much. I believe the most important relationship is between you and your teen - I see myself as a bridge to help the two of you reestablish, strengthen or find that connection.

My practice style is warm and compassionate, and one of my specialties is engaging the "hard to engage" client.

I would love the opportunity to talk with you and your teen and learn more about what is going on and how I can help.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sally Herschman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

Sally is just wonderful. She is an excellent listener and really makes an effort to understand your story and your goals. She is patient, kind, and genuine. I feel very grateful to have been matched with her when I signed up for teencounseling.com. I highly recommend her.
