Murray Freedom Counseling Belleville, IL - Freedom to live in alignment with your values by allowing space for emotions that are difficult to work through.
You don't have to keep doing this alone.
I use holistic, trauma-informed therapy for women in Illinois ready to heal the past and make a positive change for the future.
Therapy that transforms and creates lasting change.
You’ve hit a wall, and some days you wonder if you can keep going on like this. At Murray Freedom Counseling, your feelings are validated and you are empowered to take simple steps toward the goals we create together. Located conveniently at 144 Lincoln Place Court Suite 2, Belleville, IL, Brandy Murray offers a safe space to explore unspoken thoughts and feelings without judgment or expectations.
If you relate to Joy, you might find yourself wanting to overlook difficult feelings to focus on what "needs to be done." However, here, we don't suppress feelings in an effort to focus on the busy tasks of the day. We understand and recognize that our emotions- all of them- have a purpose. At Murray Freedom Counseling, we can safely explore and contain what causes pain, while letting emotions be expressed and released. Our goal isn't to avoid anxiety, depression, or pain, but to address the underlying needs that your emotions reveal.
"I'll just tell Anxiety not to worry so much anymore. And then she'll say 'Wow, Joy! I didn't think of that, thank you!!'"

I’m Brandy Murray, LCSW... and if there’s one thing I’ve learned in this work, it’s that connection heals more than any technique ever could.

My speciality is working with women who feel overwhelmed, and grew up in emotionally complex families. We work to address the presence of shame by incorporating self-love practices that extend beyond positive affirmations.
