Aimee Bequette-Chaney

Aimee Bequette-Chaney is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois, credentialed to provide clinical mental health care in the state (IL LCPC 180008369). She brings 12 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families across a range of settings, including outpatient programs, residential treatment, corrections, schools and emergency rooms where she provided crisis intervention.

Her therapeutic work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based, time-limited approach that is client driven and focused on helping people manage distressing thoughts and intense emotions. She emphasizes teaching clients strategies so they can effectively be their own therapist between sessions.

Aimee has extensive experience addressing trauma, both simple and complex, and applies trauma-informed care principles to identify and treat the roots of trauma-related symptoms so people can move forward and maintain healthy, fulfilling lives. She also provides court-ordered programs such as anger management and divorce education, and she is certified to deliver Parent Management Training and basic behavior management to support parents working with behavioral challenges at home.

Open to all clients, Aimee offers a respectful, non-judgmental environment and aims to normalize seeking mental health care - encouraging people to view check-ins with a therapist as part of routine health maintenance, similar to visiting a family doctor. She welcomes anyone ready to begin that work.
