Dilyana Mitreva-Lee, MSW, LCSW

Are you stumbling at times?

Forging your own path comes with so many rewards – but finding your footing isn’t always easy.  You’re not afraid of putting in the work to create the life you want, but finding the balance between work, school, family, community, spirituality, modern-life demands and self-care takes it toll.  At times the journey starts to feel more like an ordeal and you find yourself struggling.  Maybe at times you even question if the path you are on is heading where you want to be.

Reconnect

I help you connect and gain confidence in creating a world where you belong and have the deep relationships you want.  Together we work to help you reconnect with your interests and find joy. Taking a creative and holistic approach to healing, we define and work on the changes you want to make.

It is an honor to have you share your story with me and I look forward learning what’s important to you, what you want, and who you are.  You are not powerless, you are doing your best to navigate through an unfamiliar and often contradictory world.  Our sessions are a place where you can explore and express your whole self in your time and at your pace. There is no judgement and no assumption.

More About Me

I have a special interest in working with women, those in creative fields, and immigrants.   I am also an immigrant and decided to make Chicago my home more than 12 years ago.  I know what it is like to straddle two very different worlds while seeking a sense of connectedness and belonging in the everyday.  It would be an honor to help you find yours.

My greatest asset is years of experience working as a therapist at different levels of care, such as Residential Treatment, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Community Mental Health. My professional experience also includes domestic violence counseling, disability advocacy, and crisis management

I look forward to helping you find that sense of belonging and the deep relationships you seek.
