Jill Finis, MA

Whether you are continuing or beginning therapy, I look forward to collaborating with you on your treatment plan and path. My goal is to assist in providing knowledge, coping mechanisms, and skills to aid in your therapeutic journey toward becoming the best version of yourself. I strive to listen and support you in whatever you may need, creating a space that is built on trust and understanding. My approach to therapy incorporates methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), such as emotion regulation, mindfulness, recognizing behavior patterns, and creating healthier coping mechanisms to help you reach your goals.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, compulsive behaviors, and life transitions. I’ve spent several years working with diverse groups of individuals in various clinical settings. I have experience working with adults diagnosed with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorders, as well as those with substance use and compulsive disorders. Throughout my life, I’ve had a deep passion for helping others, which has led me to pursue a career in psychology.

I received my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I concentrated on addictions while also specializing in grief and trauma counseling. I also earned my Bachelor’s degree from Indiana University with a major in psychology and a minor in counseling. Throughout my career, I’ve held various positions within the field, including mental health counselor at Swedish Hospital, recovery counselor at Trilogy Behavioral Healthcare, and a substance abuse counselor intern at Gateway Foundation.
