Welcome
I’m so glad you’re here. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I’m here to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

Jenny Drake, MA, LCPC, NCC
Owner, Monarch Insight Therapy PLLC
Let me share a bit about how I can support you on your journey. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I earned a Master’s degree with academic distinction from Northwestern University’s Counseling Program and am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Clinical Social Work (ICSW). My approach integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, and psychodynamic principles to help you understand how your past experiences, relationships, and brain function shape your present. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, coping with grief, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Navigating Life’s Challenges Together
​​I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families, supporting them through relationship challenges, significant life transitions, and emotional struggles. My work extends beyond individual therapy, including facilitating mindfulness and grief support groups. These groups offer a safe, nurturing environment where participants can reflect, share, and grow in a space that honors their unique experiences. Whether in one-on-one sessions or group settings, I focus on creating a compassionate and supportive atmosphere where clients feel truly seen and empowered to navigate life’s complexities.
Virtual Therapy
I offer virtual therapy, allowing you to meet from the comfort of your home.

I am in-network for Blue Cross, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients for reimbursement. I am licensed in Illinois and Indiana.
Therapy Tailored to You
Compassionate Care for All
Therapy should feel approachable, practical, and deeply personal. While I draw on evidence-based frameworks, I also bring a genuine, down-to-earth presence to each session. Together, we’ll explore what’s working for you, what’s not, and how to create the life you envision. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself and others, build resilience, and find clarity as you move forward.
