About

Martin Cuevas, LCSW Specializing in therapy for creatives, artists, and musicians As an artist, creative, musician, or any combination of the three, your passion and talent afford you a unique perspective and outlet for exploring deep feelings through expression of your art. Struggling to become the best creative you know you can be? I can help guide your inner creative to help overcome problems, process through challenges and past trauma, and break through motivational barriers. In times when creativity can feel impossible, therapy offers a way to light a fire under your talent and pursue your dreams and creativity from a place of compassion, determination, and commitment. There is little doubt that creativity and psychological health are intimately connected. I specialize in several therapeutic techniques, including talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices, among others. I am thrilled to offer Brainspotting and EMDR therapy, two clinically proven therapeutic models that can help reduce performance anxiety, fear, depression, and assist with working through past trauma. About me: I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as a Classical Guitarist and Astrophotographer in the Chicago area. My passion for music, science, art, and technology plays an important role in my overall mental health and helps to inform my therapeutic practice.
