When it feels like the future is slipping away;
when hope starts to hurt,
you're not alone.
Meet Our Team
Corinne Ferguson, LCSW, Founder & Principal Therapist
After nearly 15 years as a therapist, I've realized.. most folks who come to me aren't lacking insight. They already have it. What they struggle with most is getting outside of their cycle of thoughts long enough to actually feel it, tolerate it, and move through it differently.
That's what I help with. My work is not about helping you feel better faster. It's about helping you see clearly what's actually happening inside you, underneath the story that your thoughts keep telling you.
It’s not just professional. It's personal.
Before I identified as a therapist, I always identified as different.
I grew up as a transracial adoptee, and a young parent of two children by the age of twenty— one of whom has required ongoing special supports. I've felt the loss of family, meaningful relationships, and the kind of experiences that reshape you in ways you never anticipated.
These experiences don't define my work, but they inform it in ways that allow me to connect with clients in a very vulnerable and precious space, in a way that is personal and meaningful. They allow me to recognize what isn't being said, sit with complexity without rushing to solutions, and understand the difference between surviving and actually feeling safe.
Who I Work With
I with folks who are self reflective, have plenty of insight but still feel stuck. People who call themselves “overthinkers,” tend to overanalyze, and feel internal pressure to "figure it out." Many of my clients are used to holding everything together for everyone else while feeling invisible in their own distress.
I work with people who are navigating internal conflicts and navigating life changes like fertility and family-building journeys, adoption, identity conflicts, grief and loss, and the exhaustion of trying to “fix” their distress from the outside in.
My Background
Licensed Clinical Social Worker — Illinois & Georgia
MSW & BSW — Loyola University Chicago
Clinical Fellow — University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work (Contextually-Focused DBT)
Experience includes adoption and transracial family support, trauma-informed care, and work with the Northwestern University Bluhm Legal Clinic supporting wrongful conviction cases.
If you're ready to stop trying to fix yourself and start actually understanding yourself — I'd love to talk.
Jacob Walls, MPP, MEd
Clinical Fellow
Jacob works with adults and couples navigating stress, identity, relationships, fatherhood, life transitions, emotional pressure, and the challenge of putting difficult experiences into words.
His approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity about what it feels like to be you—not just how things appear from the outside. Together, he helps clients slow things down, recognize patterns, and make sense of what may feel confusing, heavy, or difficult to explain.
Jacob brings a systems-informed perspective shaped by his background in mental health counseling, public policy, restorative justice, and behavioral health. He is especially interested in supporting men, youth, and couples who want a space to think openly about who they are, how they relate to others, and what they want to change.
