Relational Wellness Counseling

Fostering secure relationships with self and others - through a systemic, attachment-focused, and culturally sensitive lens.

Welcome! I’m Fei Yee, LMFT, an Illinois-based marriage and family therapist desiring to help clients cultivate strong and satisfying relationships through authenticity and meaningful connections.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I believe in the power of relationships.

Whether it is our relationship with ourselves or with others, our mental and emotional health is often tied to our relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want to better understand themselves and improve the relationships most important to them. My background is in family systems, and I use strength-based and attachment-based approaches to meet my clients where they are and to collaborate with them toward their emotional and relational goals.

I especially enjoy working with emerging adults (18-29), pre-marital couples, couples stuck in relational distress, as well as adults impacted by childhood trauma or church hurts. I have a special heart for those from immigrant families or those navigating a blended family dynamic.

You do not have to go through life’s challenges alone. I look forward to walking alongside you!

Services

Emerging & Young Adults

anxiety ∙ self-esteem ∙ identity ∙ relational issues

The late teens through the 20’s is an exciting decade, and yet, it can sometimes feel daunting to navigate alone. My hope is to empower you in this formative season as you better understand yourself within the context of your family, and to further develop and grow into the person you’d like to become and the story you’d like to write as you look ahead.

Individual

life transitions ∙ grief ∙ trauma ∙ relational issues

Life’s transitions require us to move through them. Even an exciting transition like a new job or a new baby can come with stress. When it is related to grief, trauma, or other distressing transitions, sometimes we get stuck and need a bit of support to move through them. My desire is to create a warm and safe space to process together, and make a decision on how to take the next steps towards your goals.

Pre-Marital Couples

prepare-enrich ∙ emotionally focused couples therapy

The season before the wedding day can be filled with endless to-do’s. Pre-marital counseling can be one of the best investments for your relationship by setting up a good foundation for connection and communication. I am a Prepare-Enrich certified facilitator, and we can work together to customize a plan according to your particular needs and preferences.

Couples

emotional connection ∙ communication ∙ infidelity

I often work with partners who deeply care and love each other, and yet find themselves stuck in a pattern of conflict or disconnect. Whether the issues at hand may be related to life adjustments and stress, grief/loss, or infidelity, I hold hope for building trust and creating connection again.

  • "Fei is very good at gently redirecting conversations if we get off-topic, and I felt like she did a good job paying attention to each of our concerns without siding with anyone. "

    - CY (Couples Client)

  • “Fei has a unique ability to really hear and understand what you are saying. Almost without fail, when she would repeat back what I was trying to convey in her own words she would capture exactly what I was trying to communicate. I believe this helped tremendously in facilitating the positive changes I’ve experienced as a result of therapy.”

    (Individual Client)

  • “Fei was helpful in providing me alternative perspectives when I shared about unaddressed emotions related to past. The sessions helped me be better empathize with others and take care of my emotional and mental health. She provided concrete recommendations--e.g., journal writing and applying lessons learned in my relationship with family and friends.”

    (Individual Client)

  • "It’s been a long journey navigating my father’s suicide. Fei’s kindness and sensitivity to the topic has helped me navigate the big feelings and help me slowly heal the wounds. I’m grateful for the patience she showed me when old feelings would peak to the surface and help me address them in the moment. All part of the grieving process…thank you for your support."
