Katia Neiweem, MS, LMFT

Welcome to Clear Change Counseling, your pathway to transformation. I am Katia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the owner of Clear Change Counseling, LLC. With a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to each counseling journey. My journey in the field of therapy began when I earned my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northern Illinois University in 2015. Since then, I have guided countless clients on their paths to healing and growth. I specialize in addressing a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, relational discord, and more. Drawing from clinically tested and evidence-based interventions, I empower my clients to overcome personal obstacles, fostering improved relationships and greater life satisfaction. Having experienced a multicultural upbringing—transitioning from Saint-Petersburg, Russia to the Chicagoland area during my teenage years—I developed a profound appreciation for diverse perspectives and the power of empathy. It is this perspective that fuels my commitment to providing a non-judgmental, compassionate, and comfortable atmosphere where clients can courageously explore their feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. I firmly believe that change is attainable, and I am dedicated to offering guidance as clients journey towards positive transformation. My therapeutic style balances direct feedback with active and empathetic listening. Each client is unique, and I tailor my methods to suit their individual needs and circumstances. As a wife and mother of two young children, I recognize the demands of modern life. To ensure accessibility, I offer telehealth therapy, allowing clients to engage in sessions from the comfort of their own homes. Rest assured that our sessions are conducted using secure HIPAA-compliant video tools, maintaining the utmost privacy and confidentiality. Your journey to positive change begins here. Let's walk this path together.
