Meet Siera Phillips
M.S.ED., LCPC



When life gets tough, I’m here to help.

Hi, I’m Siera and I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor located in Sycamore, IL.

I’m passionate about helping people grow toward their personal goals and strengthening their capacities to cope with life.

There may come a time when it feels like things could be better but you feel stuck, or even that life is spinning out of control.

I’m here to support you in making the necessary changes for healing and growth.

As your counselor, I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to process your thoughts, identify toxic behaviors or situations, and guide you to reconcile with the aspects of yourself you are unhappy with so you can elevate to the next level in life.

It’s time to take back control of your life and relationships

I work with individuals and couples who want to build healthier relationships and bring the joy and love back into their lives,

Do you ever struggle with…

Communication & setting boundaries

Healthy relationships (at home & at work)

Life transitions & stress management

I know how you feel

You don’t have to struggle alone.

We all have those little voices in our head that tell us lies like “I’m not good enough” or “I’ll never get through this” or “I guess that’s just the way it is.”

At various times, I’ve had them myself!

Even though we KNOW it’s not true, it sometimes feels like there’s no way things will actually get better.

Whether it’s a nagging problem at home or with our relationships, an issue at work or a career we don’t know how to navigate, or even a deep sense that we aren’t living a life that truly makes us happy - know that your feelings are valid and there’s always a solution.

Everyone can benefit from therapy and it would be my honor to work with you.

Whenever you’re ready, let’s talk.

Work with Siera

Are there any areas of your life and relationships that need to change? Are you ready to do the deep work to get lasting effects? Therapy can help and it would be my pleasure to work with you and support you on your journey.

Counseling for women

1-on-1 therapy services for women, in-person or online

Women often carry heavy emotional loads that can sometimes feel like too much to deal with. Between demanding careers, busy family lives and trying to carve out a strong identity for ourselves, it’s no wonder that many of us are emotionally drained and overwhelmed! Therapy will help you navigate these experiences.


Counseling for MEn

Therapy sessions for men, in-person or online

Men often carry a heavy load and they don’t like talking about it for a variety of reasons. Between working long hours, family, and relationships you carry a lot on your plate. Sometimes you just need that one unbiased person to talk to. Talking with a counselor can help you manage the emotional side of things so you can maintain your cool.


Counseling for couples

Therapy sessions for couples, in-person or online

You and your partner deserve to having a loving, healthy and trusting relationship. But sometimes events, situations or circumstances happen that make it hard to find that balance. Whether it’s a “small issue” that needs attention or a “bigger problem” that needs to be dealt with, therapy can help you get through it with ease, grace and a sense of control.

Feeling overwhelmed? I’m here to listen

You don’t need to do it all alone, help is here for you whenever you’re ready. The first step is the hardest, but know that I’m here for you!

My therapy style

As a therapist, I draw on my own background, experiences and training to develop my personal style. Here’s what you can expect in a counselling session with me:

Attachment focused

Our childhood experiences influence the relationships we develop as adults and the attachment style we have (anxious, secure, avoidant, etc.)

Non-judgemental & open-minded

Our therapy sessions are a private, confidential spaces where you can talk freely and candidly without fear of repercussion

Hands on & collaborative

Expect talk therapy as well as written exercises, role play and acting out real/hypothetical situations

Online & in-person therapy sessions available

My counseling practice is based in Sycamore, IL and that’s where I see in-person women & couples.

I also offer online sessions (both for individuals and couples)
