Masi Kadzai , LCSW

Masi Kadzai is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with six years of counseling experience. She focuses on trauma-informed care and supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and a wide range of mood and life transition issues. Her work draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), body-orientation techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help clients build skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward meaningful change.

She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address the problems that feel overwhelming. Masi emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, helping clients identify goals, develop coping tools, and increase self-awareness and resilience. Taking the first step toward change can feel challenging, and she aims to provide steady support, encouragement, and clear direction throughout the therapeutic process.

Masi accepts new clients, including international clients, and offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her practice is tailored to meet diverse needs, with attention to cultural considerations, life purpose, and recovery from trauma and abuse.
