About Us

At Clear Sky Counseling Services, we believe in the transformative power of compassionate and professional counseling. Our mission is to guide individuals on their journey to healing and personal growth. Located in Northern Illinois, our clinic provides a safe and supportive environment where clients can confront their mental health challenges.

With twenty plus years of combined experience, Jordana Ballesteros and Becky Vinson-Boyer have provided clients with a safe space to discuss life challenges that can sometimes involve legal mazes. We are dedicated to unlocking your potential through specific goal setting and interventions. We affirm your desire to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace the positive changes waiting for you.

Our team is composed of dedicated, licensed therapists who specialize in a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. We are committed to helping our clients achieve their full potential, equipping them with the tools to improve their emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

In addition to serving the general public, Clear Sky Counseling Services proudly collaborates with the justice system to provide court-ordered counseling services. We are equipped to meet the specific requirements of legal mandates, offering specialized therapeutic interventions for individuals referred by the courts. 

Understanding the diverse needs of our community, we are also proud to offer bilingual counseling in both English and Spanish. This ensures that we can effectively communicate and serve a broader spectrum of clients, facilitating better outcomes for those both within and outside the justice system. Our commitment to accessibility and comprehensive care makes us a trusted partner in rehabilitation and recovery, contributing positively to individual lives and community well-being.

At Clear Sky Counseling Services, we embrace a holistic approach to therapy, addressing the physical, emotional, and social aspects of healing. We understand the courage it takes to seek help and are dedicated to maintaining confidentiality and respect for all our clients. Whether you are dealing with complex trauma or seeking support to navigate life’s challenges, we are here to help you on your path to recovery and resilience.

Mission Statement

At Clear Sky Counseling Services, we empower individuals to overcome personal challenges and enhance their well-being through professional, compassionate, and culturally competent counseling. We provide a space for taking time to reflect on and evaluate one’s own experiences, thoughts, and emotions; to consider how those things impact our lives and the decisions we make. We are dedicated to providing specialized therapeutic services that support healing and resilience in those affected by abuse, addiction, anger, violence, and mental health disorders. Collaborating closely with the community and the justice system, we strive to foster recovery, transformation, and hope for a better future.

Vision Statement

Clear Sky Counseling Services is a beacon of hope and a leader in mental health and recovery services, setting the standard for compassion, effectiveness, and respect in therapy. We envision a future where every individual has access to the support they need to heal, grow, and thrive in a stigma-free society.
