Who we are
With a culturally diverse background of her own, Marija holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling and provides Counseling and Life Coaching services to children, adolescents, adults, and elders in English, Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and Bosnian.
Prior to moving to Chicago, Marija honed her skills at Lindenwood University and refined them in a research program with Washington University – School of Medicine, Psychiatry, under the supervision of Dr. Ginger Nicol. She put those skills to the test while working with children and adolescents in a clinical setting with acute cases at Chicago Lakeshore Hospital, gaining experience in crisis intervention, clinical assessments, life transitions, and diagnosing and treating mental health disorders.
With her unique charisma, she brings to her work an insightful, thoughtful, straightforward, goal-oriented, hands-on, directive, and genuine approach—focusing on maximizing clients' ability to thrive across all areas of life. She strives to understand each client’s unique life challenges and collaborates to develop healthy ways to cope, improve insight into behaviors, and foster positive change.
