Therapist in Chicago, Illinois,
Marla Micor, LCSW

Possibly one of the most overlooked yet effective approaches to taking care of yourself is the simple act of listening–listening to yourself, listening to your body, and having someone you trust listening to you. Listening is where I like to start – to ensure that before anything else, I take the time to understand who you are. Each individual takes a unique path and one of my goals is to embrace that in a collaborative and open treatment experience. I take a nonjudgmental and empowering approach to ensure that my clients are strengthening their sense of self while acknowledging the past and present challenges.
I received my Bachelor and Master degrees in Social Work and have since become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the mental health field in hospitals, correctional facilities, and community-based settings. I have extensive experience with LGBTIA+ issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and mindfulness.
Focusing on a collaborative and strength-based approach is a pivotal part in individual therapy; I also incorporate CBT and solution-focused approaches with my clients. I highly value therapeutic relationships and consider myself honored when a client allows me into the audience to listen to their narrative.
