Annie Novotny, LCPC, ATR-BC

Mental Health Counselor (Satellite Chicago office or telehealth)

If you have been through something that has left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, you are not alone — and you do not have to figure it out on your own.


I specialize in working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and complex trauma, as well as combat veterans and anyone carrying the weight of experiences that have been difficult to put into words. That last part is important, because I do not believe healing always has to happen through words alone. As an art therapist, I offer creative expression as another pathway — one that can feel more accessible, especially when talking feels like too much.


I draw from a range of approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic therapy, and mindfulness, tailoring my work to what actually fits you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Together, we might work through anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship patterns, life transitions, or unhealthy coping habits that have been hard to shake.


My space is designed to feel both safe and honest — a place where you can show up as you are and do real, meaningful work at your own pace.
If any of this resonates with you, I would love to connect.
