Tania Nuñez, LCPC
Specializes In:
Tania Evett Nuñez, LCPC, helps children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families across Illinois navigate emotional challenges with compassion, cultural awareness, and evidence-based care. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor at LifeStance Health, she creates a supportive and collaborative environment where patients can work toward healing, emotional balance, and healthier relationships. Tania provides therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, and ADHD, while also offering support for life transitions, relationship stress, and emotional regulation. Tania is especially passionate about trauma-focused therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, including EMDR therapy and somatic-focused approaches that help patients process difficult experiences in ways that support both emotional and physical healing. She also has extensive experience working with high-masking individuals with ADHD and autism, helping patients better understand their unique strengths, challenges, and patterns. In addition, she supports individuals impacted by domestic violence and works to help patients rebuild safety, confidence, and self-trust through personalized and trauma-informed care. Her therapeutic style is warm, direct, and adaptable to the needs of each patient. Tania utilizes interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while integrating mindfulness and family-centered approaches when appropriate. She offers individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy, and has experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, military/veterans, and patients connected to adoption or foster care systems. Additional areas of focus include bipolar disorder, eating disorders, school avoidance, grief, and women’s mental health concerns. Fluent in Spanish, Tania is able to provide care to Spanish-speaking patients seeking mental health therapy in Illinois. Her diverse clinical background and commitment to continued professional development allow her to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s goals, experiences, and stage of life. Outside of her clinical work, Tania enjoys reading, attending live music and theater events, and spending meaningful time with her close circle of friends and family. She also values ongoing learning and actively seeks opportunities to continue strengthening her clinical skills and therapeutic approaches.
