Felipa Roman | LCSW
Felipa Roman, LCSW, is a bilingual therapist offering virtual therapy across Illinois and in-person sessions in Chicago. As a seasoned Latina clinician, Felipa brings decades of experience and a deep commitment to creating spaces where Latinx clients can feel safe, respected, and empowered.
Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in social justice. Felipa supports adults working through trauma, grief, depression, and family conflict, especially those navigating intergenerational patterns or life transitions. She uses a strengths-based and trauma-informed lens to guide healing that honors your past without letting it define you.
Felipa believes that healing is not a straight line, it’s a journey that starts with being seen and heard. Whether you’re processing years of silent suffering or adjusting to a new chapter in life, she’s here to walk alongside you.
"Healing isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about coming home to yourself"
