Mindful Support, Anytime

Holistic, trauma-informed, somatic based mental health care designed for real life - access guidance, tools, and compassionate care.

You are right where you’re supposed to be.

Rickie Kostiner, (she/her), M.A., LCPC, CCTP-II, E-RYT

Do you feel like your mind and body are out of sync? Or notice a growing disconnection from your intuition? You may be wondering how these experiences are showing up in your daily life, relationships, or sense of self. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and ease.

My work focuses on supporting clients to feel more regulated, present, and empowered - so they can navigate life with increased self-awareness, resilience, and trust in their inner wisdom. I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience across clinical, academic, wellness, and educational settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and a Master’s degree in Urban Education Policy from Brown University. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.

At the core of my work is a deep respect for our shared humanity. I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you cultivate greater compassion, awareness, and self-trust, so you can reconnect with your innate capacity for healing and growth.

As a mom of two and with a diverse background myself, I hope to offer a heart centered, relational, and functional therapeutic experience.

Theory & Services

I offer 50 minute sessions weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on the care and frequency you are looking for. For new clients, I recommend meeting weekly at first to build our client and counselor relationship which is the foundation of the work we will do together. I am licensed to see clients who live anywhere in Illinois.

I am a trauma-informed somatic psychotherapist who integrates mindful, body-based approaches into the therapeutic process. I work collaboratively with clients to address present-day challenges while gently supporting healing from past experiences and fostering hope for the future.

My approach weaves together trauma-informed mindfulness practices, including yoga and meditation, neurobiological education, practical tools and techniques, and practices pulled from Internal Family Systems (IFS.) Most importantly, I offer a warm, grounded, and heart centered therapeutic relationship. By tuning into both mind and body, we create space for deeper understanding, regulation, and lasting growth.

My hope is that each of our sessions leaves you feeling connected to yourself, an understanding of practical tools to use everyday, and more able to listen to the deep wisdom of your intuition.
