Kyla S. O’Neal MA, LCPC, NCC Welcome to ClearView Counseling and Wellness, where healing begins and a clearer view to a newer you unfolds. I'm Kyla, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor licensed in Illinois, Iowa and Arizona, specializing in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP) for the treatment of OCD and anxiety. My journey from a small town in Iowa, to the vibrant city of Chicago, IL, has been a rich tapestry of experiences in substance abuse treatment facilities, hospital/ER departments, juvenile correctional settings, and private practice. These diverse encounters have shaped my perspective and fueled my passion for promoting positive mental health. As the Founder and CEO of ClearView Counseling and Wellness, LLC, my mission is to provide a sanctuary for individuals navigating the complexities of today's world. Through telemedicine therapy, I aim to make mental health support accessible to the Chicagoland community, fostering healing and growth. My commitment extends beyond the therapy room—I am dedicated to advocating for mental health awareness and dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in marginalized communities and the criminal justice system. I approach therapy with an integrative mindset, recognizing that the path to healing is as unique as each individual. Gaining clarity is key to this process, and I am here to guide you on your journey to a clearer view and a newer you. Clients benefit from my expertise in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy, a specialized approach that empowers individuals to confront and manage OCD and anxiety. Whether you are seeking relief from specific challenges or striving for personal growth, my goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore, understand, and transform. My educational background includes a Master's degree in Community Counseling from Argosy University and a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa. These academic foundations, combined with my real-world experiences, contribute to the holistic and compassionate care I provide. In my spare time, I cherish moments with my family, indulge in the joy of travel, find solace in shopping, take rejuvenating walks, and connect with the beauty of nature. These experiences shape my understanding of the importance of balance and self-care, values that I encourage and incorporate into our therapeutic journey. If you're ready for a clearer view to a newer you, I invite you to embark on this transformative journey with ClearView Counseling and Wellness. Together, we can navigate challenges, discover resilience, and unlock the potential for positive change.
