• Love & Healing Counseling Center, PLLC was founded by siblings, Joy Grange, LCPC and Leslie Grange, LPC.

    Our shared vision: To nurture and treat the mental wellness of our community. Inspired by Leslie’s experiences in combat and Joy’s work at the Chicago YWCA. Combined, we foster a deep desire to support veterans living with trauma, couples in crisis, youth impacted by racial and community violence, and those struggling with mild to severe mental illnesses. Our work is rooted in healing, resilience, and compassion.

    We also carry forward the legacy of our family—our mother, Marie Grange, our father, Albert Grange, and our aunt, Dr. Kathleen Grange, M.D.—who poured into us a spirit of love, service, and dedication. Their influence guides the care we provide today.
