More Than Just Therapy

Everyone has a unique journey in life and sometimes, it can be more challenging than others. 

 

We've all faced situations that have pushed us into the corners of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and more. 

 

It can often feel like you're trapped in a cycle that's hard to break free from, even after numerous traditional therapy sessions and self-help books.

 

Imagine if there was a place that didn't just aim to reduce your symptoms but worked to enhance your capacity to engage and enjoy life fully. 

 

A place where therapy is not just a service but a nurturing, empathetic community that supports you throughout your healing journey.

 

So you can live life without looking over your shoulder for the next panic attack, feel joy, love and laughter on a deeper level, and be more present in the moment. 

Hi, I’m Jenny Korotko

Noticing a gap in the market for a comprehensive, compassionate and tailored approach to intuitive healing, I founded The Approachable Healer

​

I wanted to provide a space for individuals where the focus was not on spiritual bypassing or putting the healer on a pedestal. This is shadow work with a spiritually guided, intuitive, trained, and highly ethical healer. 

 

I noticed in my own healing journey a lot of people with very little training, trauma awareness and ethics charging thousands of dollars stating they were the way to your healing. 
 

I noticed a lot of these spiritual communities included plant medicine and the lack of trauma training withing these communities made me uncomfortable. So, I started something based on what I know I felt was missing. 

​

I have taken many courses in psychic development, mediumship, spirituality, trauma healing, somatic therapy, compassion inquiry, somatic touch therapy.  I grew up knowing I had connection to my higher self and an awareness we are all capable of enhancing our abilities.

Helping You Feel Validated And Empowered

One of the most pressing problems in the field of mental health today is recognizing the impact of trauma on mental well-being.

​

Trauma-informed therapy is not just a service I provide; it's a lens through which we understand and approach all our interactions with our clients. We aim to address the symptoms, roots, and trauma that led to them.

Guiding Principles: Shaping Our Approach To Healing

Providing a safe space

 

​

Challenge conventional therapies

 

We recognize that many conventional therapy models are influenced by colonial systems and biases, which can often hinder the therapeutic process. 

 

And we strive to challenge these biases and provide a truly trauma-informed environment. This means understanding your trauma and working with it, rather than against it, which allows us to tailor our approach to meet your specific need

Diverse and personalized care

 

We understand that each individual is unique, and their journey towards healing will be too. So, we offer a variety of services, including individual and group therapy sessions and workshops focusing on specific aspects of mental well-being. 

 

By working with us, you're choosing a practice that values your unique journey and adjusts its approach to fit your specific needs. Our diverse and experienced team leverages various therapeutic modalities to ensure you receive the best care, aiming to co-create a healthier, joyful life that you fully deserve.

 If Talk Therapy Hasn’t Helped, It’s Time to Try Something New

All our services are offered in person, in N.Elston, Chicago, IL (yes, we have plenty of free parking available!) or online.
