Victoria McBride, LCSW
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a specialty and passion for Mental Health. Life is unpredictable. I value the importance of recognizing life is not perfect, but if we can learn how to deal with those imperfections as they come, we can learn how to live life to our fullest abilities. I work best with young adults, and adults struggling with relationships, life transitions, goal setting, depression, and anxiety. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients; accountability to achieving goals, processing emotional distress, changing unhealthy behaviors, reframing distorted thought patterns, and exploring healthy coping mechanisms. I use evidenced based practices, such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy to help create effective and long-standing change.
My diverse experience has helped to shape the clinician I am today. I have 9+ years of experience working in a variety of settings, specifically beginning my career working as an individual adult therapist for a not-for-profit agency, providing therapy to individuals struggling with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Stress Management and Mood Disorders. Additionally, I have 3 years’ experience working in a hospital setting on an acute adult psychiatric crisis unit where I was supporting individuals struggling with crisis. As a current individual therapist in the Private Practice setting, I work well with client’s who are looking to be challenged and held accountable. I offer support and guidance as my client’s navigate their own life pathways and decision making. It is not easy to take that first step to seek therapy, but willingness is a great place to start! It is never too late to start improving your overall quality of life and I am here to help and be a support in that process.

It is important that you choose your therapist. No, really. It’s a relationship, just like any other, and the person you choose can make all the difference. Therapy is made to be a journey, where there is someone looking for clarity, new life, or just a guide to another place, and that someone enlists the aid and support of a trained professional that can spend the time and energy in this journey with them. Scott’s goal is to be the best possible guide and support that he can be to anyone looking for a new beginning or even a fresh take on an old viewpoint.
Scott has over ten years of experience in the mental health field, working as not only a licensed psychotherapist, but also as an inpatient mental health counselor and psychiatric social worker. Scott’s approach to therapy is quite simplistic, yet effective: treat all individuals as just that, individuals. He understands that there is not a “one size fits all” treatment plan and that every single person that comes through the door is a unique and complex being.
Scott graduated from National Louis University in 2018 with his Master of Science degree in clinical counseling and therapy. While in graduate school, Scott was an intern at LSC Therapy, a private practice counseling center for individuals and families. Before that, he knew that counseling and mental health was his passion and graduated in 2010 from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, as well as a minor in history. Scott’s experience includes working on inpatient psychiatric units that have treated children, adult, and geriatric patients. Scott has effectively diagnosed and treated patients and clients that suffer from all ailments and diagnoses, including, but not limited to bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders. Scott also has experience in helping individuals from all communities, including the LGBTQi+ community, as well as people from all cultural backgrounds. If Scott sounds like the therapist you want to help guide and support you, please schedule an appointment to get the journey started.

Tiffany Sanchez, LPC
Hello, and welcome. My name is Tiffany Sanchez, and I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families in both community mental health and inpatient psychiatric settings.
I believe that mental health is a journey of growth, healing, and self-discovery. As your therapist, my goal is to create a supportive and collaborative environment where you feel empowered to regain control, strengthen your sense of self, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in Interpersonal Communications from DePaul University and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University.
My therapeutic approach is personalized and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to process difficult emotions, improve coping skills, strengthen relationships, increase self-awareness, and reconnect with areas of life where they may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.
As the daughter of a Cuban immigrant father and a Puerto Rican mother, I deeply value cultural understanding, inclusion, and resilience. My personal and professional experiences have allowed me to work effectively with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds while helping to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health treatment. I am passionate about fostering open communication, strengthening family dynamics, and helping clients overcome both personal and systemic barriers.
In addition to providing bilingual services in Spanish, I have extensive experience working with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, self-harming behaviors, addiction, family conflict, cultural assimilation, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and crisis intervention.
Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I would be honored to support you throughout your healing journey. Together, we can work toward helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to the life you want to create.

Are you in search of someone dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges of anxiety and depression? Do you often wonder if someone out there truly understands
what you're going through? Your quest has brought you here to explore my background, and I want you to know that I am not just passionate about therapy; I am equally motivated to help you become the best version of yourself.
Hello, I'm Dony, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to embarking on a therapeutic journey with you to facilitate self-healing. We will build a therapeutic relationship that sets the foundation for your personal growth. My therapeutic approach incorporates evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions.
With over 15 years of experience in the medical field, I have a robust background in
addressing the diverse needs of individuals facing mental health challenges. My previous roles include working with adults on an acute psychiatric crisis unit, where I assisted those grappling with psychosis, suicidal ideations, Bipolar episodes, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective disorders, and personality disorders. I've also worked extensively with individuals contending with substance abuse disorders, drawing on my experience as a United States Navy veteran to support veterans within a substance abuse treatment inpatient setting.
If you believe that together, we can enhance your well-being and overcome your obstacles, I invite you to take the next step in your improvement journey.
Where can you find an hour each week or every other week to just talk through things and talk about yourself? No, really, where do we find those unbiased non-judgemental conversations? Therapy! It can be a difficult and scary step for some, but you don't have to go through it alone. I am here for you!
Hi, my name is Ashley, a Licensed Social Worker, and I have a background in Mental Health. I have a background working with children and adults. I have worked outpatient therapy, been a sexual assault advocate, provided mental health therapy, been a supervisor for family preservation programs to keep families in-tact, middle school social worker services, and school social worker for elementary age students. Through my years of experience I have learned that connecting with an individual where they are at, is the most important part to change.
I have found that I have a passion helping others to overcome daily stressors, improve low self-esteem and learn to manage anxiety and depression. I enjoy working with adults and children. I don't think anyone should have to go through it alone. I work best with individuals looking to be encouraged and willing to try new things. If you are looking for someone who will challenge you, you've come to the right place.
My goal is to build your tool box! You are the only one who can do the work, I can support you through it, guide and educate, but ultimately it is up to you to put in the work. I believe in a mind and body connection. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, coping skills/strategies, strengths based therapy, and play therapy to help individuals achieve a better balance in life.

Hello, my name is Nora Martin and I am a Licensed Social Worker and individual psychotherapist. I am passionate about working with individuals of all ages and am committed to creating a client-centered, non-judgemental space grounded in warmth, patience, and care. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and I am dedicated to working collaboratively in order to help them effectively implement changes in their lives to reach their goals.
My educational background includes a Masters in Social Work from University of Illinois Chicago, as well as a Bachelor of Science in psychology with a minor in women and gender studies from DePaul University. Before my time with BSG, I interned in the pediatric unit of a hospital, where I had the opportunity to work with and support children and families through particularly stressful times. This experience informs my ability to support clients from all walks of life who are looking for help with navigating difficult circumstances.
I practice through a flexible and integrative psychodynamic approach and incorporate other modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am particularly interested in helping clients build confidence, strengthen their sense of identity, and develop tools to live a meaningful life.
In my free time I enjoy doing pottery, spending time with my cat Lucky, and reading (especially historical fiction)!
I’m Coach Rick, and I help ambitious individuals break through overwhelm, self-doubt, and uncertainty so they can step into the life they’re truly meant to live—with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
My approach to coaching is both heart-centered and results-driven. I combine mindset mastery, practical strategy, and intuitive insight to guide you toward meaningful, lasting transformation. Together, we don’t just set goals—we uncover the why behind them, dissolve internal blocks, and create a clear path forward that aligns with your deepest values.
I bring a well-rounded and deeply compassionate lens to each session. My clients often tell me they feel seen, heard, and empowered in ways they never expected—and that’s not by accident. I believe true change begins with connection and courage.
My own journey into coaching came after years of chasing external success while feeling disconnected on the inside. I know what it’s like to look accomplished on paper but feel like something vital is missing. That’s why I do this work—not just to help you achieve more, but to help you come home to yourself in the process.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, seeking clarity in your purpose, or simply ready to stop playing small, I’m here to walk alongside you. Because you don’t have to do it alone—and your next level is closer than you think.
Let’s unlock it together.
