About

Hello, My name is Jerrard Walker. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Nurse in the state of Illinois with over 12 years of experience working in the Mental Health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including substance usage/addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma/environmental stressors, and chronic medical conditions. I am a reality based-person centered therapist with a warm and compassionate style. Treating others with respect and dignity is of most importance. Therefore, I will ensure I meet you where you are at and work collectively toward your goals. I look forward to meeting you and the possibility of us working together.
