My name is Javier Sanchez (he/his/them/they), Founder & Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Here Now Counseling Services, PLLC. I am a first generation born and raised in the Chicago. Through the years I've worn many hats as a Kindergarten Teacher, Handy Man, Mentor, Metal Worker, Gamer, Therapist, and now Founder of a private practice. 

​

In therapy, I encourage my clients to be collaborative in their individualized treatment while creating an empathic space for clients to do the work they want to do. I am here to provide a service, personal insight in a professional setting. I am not here to tell you what to do, rather I am here to cooperatively recalibrate your compass to navigate your life.

​

In practice most of my clients would describe me as down to Earth and personable. Though I can talk shop clinically my usual style stems from a desire to understand and to be understood through clear communication. This has been a core value of mine  long before I became a Therapist.
