Our story
Quality care, made accessible.
Growth & Guidance Counseling is a group therapy practice built on one conviction: that warm, effective mental-health care should be within reach of the communities that have historically been furthest from it.
We meet you where you are.
We serve adults, teens, couples, and families — many from minority and underserved communities looking for a therapist who leads with respect for their background, their faith, and their pace.
Our clinicians are strengths-based and culturally affirming. We won't push you to talk about anything you're not ready for. Building trust takes time. We're patient.
We offer in-person care in Oak Lawn, Illinois and Marietta, Georgia, and telehealth throughout GA, IL, and FL. Sliding-scale rates ($50–$100) mean cost is rarely the reason care doesn't happen.
Jalinia Logan, LCSW, CCATP
Jalinia began her career as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Years of patient care taught her something most therapists learn later, if at all: the body and the mind aren't separate — they're speaking to each other, constantly. When she made the move into clinical social work, she brought that mind-body fluency with her.
Twelve years into practice, she draws from CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused, supportive, and spiritually-integrated modalities — matching the approach to the client, never the other way around. She holds the Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) credential.
