Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in Champaign, IL

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in healthcare. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate mental health challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adults balancing family and work demands while managing anxiety, depression, or past experiences. My goal is to help each person strengthen their sense of connection, well-being, and self-awareness through compassionate, personalized care.

I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Maryville University. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a trauma-informed perspective. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and holistic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client and foster a safe space for growth and healing.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but it’s also an empowering act of courage and self-care. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone, and together we can work toward balance, healing, and renewed hope. I invite you to take the next step toward the care and connection you deserve.

Hello! My name is Lorin Dunston. I currently hold my LCSW and CADC, and I'm in the process of finishing my PhD. I typically work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD, grief, bipolar disorder, and more. I enjoy helping individuals find a new sense of self, love themselves fully, discover new coping skills, and navigate postpartum challenges.

I enjoy working in an informal setting — think of our sessions as talking to your best friend who can never tell your secrets. We'll use modalities like CBT, DBT, grief therapy, and interpersonal therapy. I like to first focus on getting comfortable with each other, creating goals, identifying what may be hard to discuss, and moving forward with growth.

I look forward to working with each and every one of you. I prefer working with ages 10 and above, but I'm always open to a new challenge. Feel free to schedule with me and let's work things out together!

Hi, I'm Keyira, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in clinical care and community-based research. I'm passionate about helping clients make sense of the deeply human process of healing and change. I support individuals feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected due to trauma, life transitions, or relationship stress. Together, we explore your inner world, understand patterns, and build practical tools for regulation, boundaries, and self-trust. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in ACT, CBT, and EMDR-informed care, helping you move forward with clarity, compassion, and intention. 

I help clients build emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and shift unhelpful patterns. You can expect a supportive space with practical tools to strengthen boundaries, process experiences, and move forward with clarity and self-trust. Together, we cultivate mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and lasting internal and external resources. 

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to begin, you're not alone. Change can feel heavy, but you don't have to navigate it by yourself. If you're open to exploring your experiences with curiosity and compassion, you're already taking a meaningful step. When you're ready, I welcome you to begin this process with me.
