Therapist in Wheaton, Illinois Jennifer Dziatkowiec, Therapist

Jennifer Dziatkowiec, LCSW, helps adults and seniors across Illinois navigate life’s challenges with compassionate, evidence-based therapy at LifeStance Health. She provides individual, couples, and family therapy, supporting clients in strengthening relationships, improving emotional well-being, and managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma. Jennifer takes a collaborative and personalized approach, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. She is particularly dedicated to working with individuals facing complex and high-pressure situations, including those recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital, those involved in court-ordered treatment, or individuals managing a current legal matter. Jennifer understands the importance of stability, structure, and trust during these times and works closely with clients and, when appropriate, their families to promote accountability, healing, and forward progress. Jennifer integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR to address emotional distress, trauma, and behavioral patterns. Her work often includes supporting couples and families in rebuilding communication and connection, while also serving diverse populations, including individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, military/veterans, and those with autism spectrum disorders. She offers additional specialties and therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. With a strong commitment to reducing stigma and fostering resilience, Jennifer helps clients better understand themselves, develop coping skills, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys shopping, following true crime stories, spending time with family and friends, and walking and playing with her dogs.
