Welcome to Metanoia
Joanna Klimek, MS, LCPC
Professional Background: I graduated from Loyola University with a major in Psychology and hold a Master’s in School Counseling and Mental Health Counseling from National Louis University. My post-graduate journey has led me through diverse experiences in inpatient, residential, outpatient, and school settings, ultimately leading me to start my own private practice, Metanoia Methods. Here, I am dedicated to continuing my work in a field I am deeply passionate about, helping individuals navigate their paths to mental wellness.
Therapeutic Approach and Specialties: At the heart of my practice is an integrative and evidence-based approach, combining scientifically supported techniques to offer the most effective treatment. My methodology is person-centered, placing you, the client, at the forefront as an active collaborator in your own self discovery. I integrate varied modalities like mindfulness, CBT, ACT, biofeedback, and psychoanalysis to craft a therapy experience uniquely responsive to your journey, adaptable to your evolving needs and goals.
Why I Became a Therapist: My passion for psychology stems from my own experiences of growth and change. My mission is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore, grow, and become a better version of themselves.
