About us

Founder, Therapist, Supervisor

I’m Mimoza Paloj, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago, and my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from The Family Institute at Northwestern University.

I am passionate about helping individuals and their families navigate various life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, and divorce. I believe that building greater compassion and awareness toward ourselves and others is the best path toward achieving our goals. Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches, empathetic guidance, and collaboration, I empower my clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and insight. My goal is to foster self-awareness, nurture healthy relationships, and cultivate emotional balance in every aspect of a clients' lives.

My journey into the field of therapy has been greatly influenced by my own cultural background, and I find joy in using it as a foundation for helping others on their path to healing. Cultural sensitivity is woven into the fabric of everything I do. I am committed to providing therapy that is respectful, affirming, and attuned to the unique needs of each client and their background.

My areas of specialty include treating children/adolescents with various presenting issues, individuals with mood disorders or complex trauma, and couples dealing with disconnection and conflict. I have experience and an interest in working with court-mandated treatment for families experiencing divorce. In working with this population, I aim to help parents make the best decisions for the well-being of their family and minimize the emotional distress that may come along with this transition.
