Kerry Hurt

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed family therapist (LMFT) in Illinois with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping adults/adolescents/teens with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, coping with grief, & coping with loss. I work with families on various aspects of the family system such as boundaries, communication, parenting styles and hierarchy within the family system.

I have experience working with adolescents and teens diagnosed with autism, bipolar as well as personality disorders.

I utilize a narrative therapy approach to help clients separate themselves from their problems, allowing them to reframe their life stories and develop new perspectives. I also help clients rewrite their own story in a way that encourages a greater sense of agency, while offering a more compassionate and beneficial perspective on their life. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A primary benefit is flexibility – individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible. Licensed professionals provide these services, and if a different match is preferred, clients can switch therapists at any time.
