Cecilie Cody is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience in mental health. She prefers to help her clients with their primary concerns while learning about past experiences that add to current struggles. She feels very fortunate to have worked with experienced art therapists at the Cook County Jail, learning how to navigate therapeutic relationships with severe power differentials. Cecilie has experience with children, families, and adults, developing group therapy techniques, and implementing art therapy to help people process trauma and stress caused by severe mental illness.

Cecilie earned her master’s in art therapy at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She uses evidence-based practices in cognitive behavioral therapy so the client can gain perspective and reduce their symptoms. She emphasizes the client's strengths and resiliency during sessions and brings a positive attitude to sessions.

The first few sessions are designed to increase personal comfort and familiarity with Cecilie as the client begins to open up. She likes to start the session with a discussion about the main problem, what has worked, what hasn’t, and what strength and resiliency factors can be identified in the face of these obstacles.
