Masi Kadzai , LCSW

Masi Kadzai is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois with six years of professional experience. She focuses on trauma-informed care and draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of abuse and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting concerns, addiction issues, sleep difficulties, career transitions, and mood disorders.

Masi approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and already carries resources that can be mobilized for change. She emphasizes collaboration and practical skills - helping clients build emotion regulation, coping, and problem-solving tools while also exploring values, goals, and identity. Taking the first step toward greater well-being often takes courage, and she aims to provide steady, compassionate guidance throughout that process.

As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker trained in assessment, diagnosis, and therapeutic intervention - Masi works with adults and families to create personalized plans that match each person’s needs and preferences. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and offers a range of remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and circumstances.
