Your mental health partner

With you every step of the way

Dr. Kasey Huff LCSW DSW
Psychotherapist
Hello! I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore yourself and deepen your understanding of your intuition, passion, motivation, challenges, and emotions.

We will create therapy goals and identify any barriers to achieving them. Together, we will monitor your progress and identify ways to overcome obstacles in your life's path to realize your potential. My goal is to create a safe space to explore any difficulties you may be facing through cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, somatic experiencing therapy exercises, body-based psychotherapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

As a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and who may have a history of traumatic experiences. I specialize in working with teens and adults who seek to improve relationships, build self-trust, tap into their inner wisdom, and find true purpose and meaning within their life.

If this sounds like a match, please reach out. You can expect to walk away from our first session feeling heard. A tentative direction for the therapeutic process will be outlined by clarifying goals for therapy. After a month or so, you can expect to understand the therapeutic process and begin to see signs of progress unfolding in your life.

Therapist Kasey Huff.

Lead Psychotherapist

I believe the most significant element of successful therapy is the genuine bond between the client and therapist. My approach to therapy is interactive, nonjudgmental, and empathic. I strive to create a warm and nurturing environment so you feel comfortable to communicate the challenges you face in your life. My goal is to help you better understand your relationship with your innermost self, your needs and how the patterns of your choices affect your life. If you notice signs of depression, anxiety or strained family relationships, we can work together to sort through it and create a more solid path forward.

I have experience working with families, teens and adults with mood dysregulation, depression, anxiety, grief and issues with substance use. Additionally, I work with people to enhance the quality of their relationships and communication, address occupational concerns and transitions in life.

I am passionate about my impact on others' lives. I see the work we do together as heart-focused and deeply meaningful. I have been told I am warm, intuitive, and authentic. I offer telehealth visits only at this time. If you believe we are a good match I look forward to hearing from you!

Why choose Empowered Life Therapy?

Early in my career, I realized there is a need for greater access to care and mental health treatments and that isolation and unnecessary pain and suffering can emerge when there aren't enough options available. That's why I joined the movement of eliminating the stigma of mental health by founding Empowered Life Therapy. Now, I offer proven treatments that focus on both the big and small pictures. I offer services to clients within the entire state of Illinois via a secure online platform.

It’s amazing to see the moving city and cars while also seeing the milkyway.

It wasn’t as hard to get this shoot as it seems. Like a lot of things it really just needed a lot of patience (2 hours worth).

Worth it.
