Emily Angelico
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Emily
I am licensed in Illinois with 10 years of professional work experience as a social worker. I am also an English teacher and have lived in Spain for 7 years and understand small and big life transitions, especially as it relates to living in another country, speaking a different language and experiencing culture shock and cultural differences. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem and confidence, & career difficulties. I want my clients to feel they can be open, comfortable and know they are in a safe environment without fear of judgment. I am here to support you in whatever way I can.
