Sebastino Aviles

Sebastino Aviles, a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist, understands that it can be challenging to put oneself out there. He recognizes the difficulty of allowing vulnerability and forming genuine connections with others. Many clients find themselves replaying their words and actions, burdened by promises to change their responses in the future, hoping to escape feelings of regret and shame. Living and working in Chicago, where everyone seems confident and connected, can intensify self-doubt. Sebastino believes that one does not have to remain trapped in the same narrative; it’s possible to rewrite one’s story to align more closely with one’s true self. In his collaborative and empathetic approach, he fosters an environment where clients learn to trust themselves and navigate everyday challenges. He holds a firm belief that individuals are not broken, but instead, have the capability to lead fulfilling lives. Taking the first step is often the hardest, yet Sebastino is committed to guiding clients toward creating their authentic narratives and enjoying the meaningful connections they deserve.
