Jill Yerkes

Jill Yerkes

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I’m Jill Yerkes, a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with over 30 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs.

My primary interest involves assisting women age 50 and beyond in living the second act of life with clarity and purpose. Whether you are navigating the "empty nest," recalibrating your identity after a long career, managing the "sandwich generation" pressure of aging parents or the shifts of menopause, this stage of life demands a new kind of resilience.

Remember, we aren't just looking back at where you've been; we are looking forward at who you are becoming. Take that first step and contact me today.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling drained, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and begin creating meaningful change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience in hospitals, residential programs, community mental health, and private practice. I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and concerns related to disordered eating, body image, or weight management.

Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.
