About Me

I am Anabelle Doulas (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC).

Your therapeutic journey can and should change over the course of time, just as you change. I am comfortable with transitioning alongside you on that path. 

I work with individuals (children, adolescents, young adults, and adults) and their families as part of their therapeutic journeys, providing mental health assessment and diagnostics, individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. Throughout the past 13+ years, I have worked in a variety of different settings, often in higher levels of care and settings in which individuals have not had a choice in their treatment providers (such as community mental health, residential treatment center within the child welfare system, residential treatment center within the juvenile justice system, and inpatient psychiatry). 

I am passionate about Social Work in both a clinical and macro-sense. I have worked alongside individuals of varying populations (such as trauma survivors, adjudicated youth, Youth in Care, individuals experiencing psychosis for the first time, individuals struggling with their substance use).

I feel comfortable and confident with the spectrum of presentations and diagnoses (e.g., no former diagnoses, depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, substance use disorders, intellectual and developmental disorders). I work to validate and affirm all identities. 

I obtained my Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology and Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Sociology from Loyola University Chicago. I completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Pennsylvania. 

I am trained in and practice a variety of different therapeutic techniques. I work to identify what is best for the therapeutic space, along with you, for that moment.
