Counseling Practice – Belleville Counseling Associates
Belleville Counseling Associates was founded in 2006 and provides counseling services to adults, children, adolescents, and families in Belleville, Illinois. The practice’s clinical team consists of nine licensed social workers: Linda Spriggs (MSW, LCSW), Kathleen Harvey (MSW, LCSW), Kristin Smith (MSW, LSW), Nichole Orbeck (MSW, LCSW), Turquois White (MSW, LCSW), Michelle Rhodes (MSW, LCSW), Kendra Walker (MSW, LCSW), Kelsy Wellwood (MSW, LSW), and Mary Grace Cebrat (MSW, LCSW).
Service modalities offered include individual counseling, family counseling, play therapy, and sand tray therapy. The practice describes sand tray therapy as a technique that allows clients to express, unfold, and process internal and relationship issues through symbolic, non-verbal means. The practice incorporates play-based approaches into work with younger clients, reflecting clinical recognition that children process emotions and thoughts differently than adults do and benefit from modalities suited to their developmental stage. Both sand tray and play therapy are positioned as expressive methods that complement traditional talk-based sessions.
Both in-person appointments and telehealth services are available to clients. Telehealth is offered via online video and telephone formats, extending access to those who may have difficulty attending sessions in person due to scheduling or geographic constraints. The practice states that its services are covered by most insurance companies, though a complete list of accepted plans is not detailed on the homepage.
The practice’s stated mission centers on guiding individuals and families through life’s challenges and providing them with practical tools, skills, and solutions. The clinical team is positioned to work across a range of presenting concerns relevant to each life stage and population it serves, from children navigating behavioral or emotional difficulties to adults and couples managing relationship and family stress.
