Supporting individuals, communities,
and organizations navigating disability, chronic illness, and rare conditions.

Bri Beck is a licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified art therapist with both lived experience of disability and over a decade of professional experience supporting individuals and communities at the intersection of mental health and disability, chronic illness, and rare conditions. She believes meaningful support happens at both the individual and systemic levels. Her work brings together personal healing, community connection, and systems-level change, recognizing that each layer shapes the whole. To that end, Bri offers direct mental health support through counseling and art therapy in the state of Illinois, alongside broader systems-focused work through professional consultation, training, speaking, and community-based workshops for those with lived experience.
