Space for the Unspoken
If your situation feels layered, emotionally intense, or difficult to explain, you are not alone. Some challenges require more than a quick fix or a surface-level strategy. I take the time to understand the complexity of your life carefully and thoroughly. Our work together is not rushed or following a script; it is a thoughtful, steady process focused on making sure the changes you make actually stick.
Expertise & Clinical Foundation
Jenny Drake, PhD, LCPC, LMHC, LPCC
​Licensed in IL, WI, MN, MA, CA, and IN
I provide insight-oriented therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the profound weight of grief.
​
I earned my Master’s degree with academic distinction from Northwestern University and my PhD from the Institute for Clinical Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, with licensure across multiple states.
​
My work is grounded in the intersection of psychodynamic theory and neuroscience. In our work together, we look beyond surface symptoms to understand how early relationships, emotional patterns, and nervous system responses continue to shape your present experience.
​
Therapy with me is thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. I value depth, honesty, and the steady process of making sense of your internal world in a way that leads to meaningful, lasting change.
Navigating Life’s Challenges Together
​​Therapy is a place where you can finally put down the heavy lifting. I specialize in the "bookends" of adulthood: supporting emerging adults as they navigate identity and independence, and aging adults as they process shifts in health, role, and legacy.
​
I also work extensively with the profound weight of grief—not just the loss of a loved one, but the "invisible" grief of a life that looks different than you expected. Whether in one-on-one sessions or within the mindfulness and grief groups I facilitate, we create a space that honors your unique experience while helping you move forward with greater clarity and strength.
Virtual Therapy & Fees
Space for Healing, Wherever You Are
I offer virtual therapy across Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Massachusetts, California, and Indiana, creating space for deep, focused work from the comfort and privacy of your home. Many clients find that this setting brings a sense of ease and safety, allowing them to show up more fully as they are.

Insurance & Investment
My practice is designed to be accessible and streamlined, ensuring our primary focus remains on the work that matters.
-
In-Network: I am an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and Aetna.
-
Private Pay: For those not using the insurance plans listed above, my standard fee is $200 per session.
-
Out-of-Network: If you have a different insurance provider, I provide a monthly "superbill" (a detailed receipt) to assist you in seeking out-of-network reimbursement according to your plan’s benefits.
Note: I recommend contacting your insurance provider prior to our first session to verify your specific mental health benefits, co-pays, or deductible requirements.
Therapy Tailored to You
Compassionate Care for All
Therapy should feel thoughtful, practical, and deeply personal. I integrate research and theory with a steady, grounded presence to help you examine the patterns that keep you stuck and the choices that no longer fit. Understanding why you feel this way is the first step; learning how to live differently is the second.
Our goal is to build your resilience and foster a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
