Debra Steele, LMFT, opened Steele Counseling in 2013. She is a passionate and integrative therapist who holds a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from The Family Institute at Northwestern University and has been licensed in IL since 2011.  She uses clients’ strengths, humor, elements of meditation, and goal setting to help clients efficiently resolve presenting problems. Debra is ardent about helping people from diverse backgrounds to promote life and relationship satisfaction for individuals, couples and families. 

Steele Counseling is temporarily closed and currently not accepting clients.

There are plans to re-open in the future.

Debra takes a holistic approach to all her cases combing elements of mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional wellness to help facilitate positive change in her client’s lives.

Debra is Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems ("Parts Therapy") and a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapy (AAMFT). She has volunteered with a CPS elementary school, through Community in Schools of Chicago (CISC), for the last several years leading a self-esteem group for 7th and 8th grade girls she created called 'Powerful Girls'. Additionally, Debra is an AAMFT approved marriage and family supervisor and trained as a Prepare/Enrich couples assessment therapist. She has lived in Chicago since 2000 and loves spending time with her friends, husband and children.
