Shaysa Villa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, IL and Washington, DC who specializes in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, infidelity, and identity-based concerns. She frequently works with individuals, as well as couples.
Shaysa’s approach is unerringly culturally sensitive; she deeply enjoys working with clients who are persons of color. She understands that one of the biggest items is difficulty finding a therapist who shares one’s own culture and background, and she strives to validate what clients experience as a POC in the workplace and beyond.
In her work with couples, she often incorporates the Gottman Method, as she has completed Level-3 training and in route to certification. She will typically start their work together using the Gottman Checkup Assessment to help the couple get oriented in the practice, as well as for her to get to understand the couple’s dynamic on a deeper level. Shaysa deeply understands how relationships go through cycles and the importance of establishing connection, understanding, and intimacy in the relationship.
Shaysa cares deeply about each of her client’s unique experiences, and maintains a compassionate respect for every individual who walks in her door. She looks forward to meeting you online or in South Loop, where her office is located.
