Tessa Robert, M.A., LPC, AFPA-HN

Hi, I'm Tessa Robert, M.A., LPC, and a certified Holistic Nutritionist (AFPA-HN). I'm a Christian therapist who loves walking alongside women who feel stuck in cycles of shame, perfectionism, body image struggles, chronic health challenges, infertility, or relationship pain. I know what it's like to feel like you're carrying it all alone-because I've been there myself. My own journey through an eating disorder showed me the deep ways our minds, bodies, and spirits can feel disconnected, and it ignited my passion to help women grow into the empowered, whole, and beloved daughters of God they were created to be. 

My approach blends evidence-based therapy, holistic nutrition, and faith-centered guidance. Together, we'll care for your mind, body, and spirit-because real healing isn't just about coping or "fixing" symptoms. It's about uncovering root wounds, rewriting the stories you've believed about yourself, and stepping into the freedom, wholeness, and grace God intends for you. 

For many women, this means exploring how past pain, unmet emotional needs, or perfectionism have shaped your relationship with your body, food, and others. For couples, it might mean gently untangling patterns of conflict or distance and learning how to reconnect with trust, intimacy, and God's design for love. 

I believe lasting change doesn't come from striving-it comes from safety, support, and the gentle presence of Christ. No matter how overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted you feel, you are not too much, too broken, or too late. God meets us in our mess-and I'd be honored to walk with you as you step into healing, hope, and freedom. 

No matter where you find yourself today—numb, angry,  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Illinois, which allows me to provide therapy to clients within the state. Through my holistic nutrition coaching practice, I'm also able to work with clients anywhere who want to explore nutrition, lifestyle, and overall wellness from a faith-centered, holistic perspective. Whether you're looking for guidance on body image, chronic health, or simply learning to care for your mind and body in a balanced way, I would love to walk alongside you. If this feels like the right next step, don't hesitate to reach out-I'd be honored to support you on your journey.
