Cultural Identities

About Elke Yolanda Luken, MA, LCPC

Hola!  I am a therapist living in the Chicagoland area.  I am originally from Guatemala.  As an immigrant, understand the struggles involved in becoming part of a new culture, new idiosyncrasy, while honoring our Latin American and family values.

My specialties are addiction recovery, couples, family, and trauma informed therapy, where I utilize different interventions and modalities such as Inner Child Work, energy work, rebuilding after trauma, IFS, MB-CBT, DBT, REBT, among others.  I have years of experience working with conditions such as anxiety, life transitions, OCD, depression, grief, and phobias.

What I love about my job, is walking through my clients’ journey with them, and seeing how they use their own strengths and life experiences to get empowered and become the best versions of themselves.  My approach is empathic, kind, and warm, as my desire is to create a safe place where my clients can feel heard, understood, and experience understanding and compassion.

If you are looking for a safe place to start your therapy journey, go ahead and reach out today.
