Your journey to healing and growth begins here.
Our Mission
Founded by two sisters, Ashley and Ellie Masengale, Masengale Counseling is a specialized mental health service in Champaign-Urbana that offers support to individuals struggling with chronic illnesses, OCD and anxiety related disorders, and complex, chronic post-traumatic stress. Our chronic illness expertise primarily focuses on supporting individuals living with “The Trifecta,” including POTS, MCAS, and hEDS, as well as frequently co-occurring conditions such as ME/CFS and autoimmune disorders.
Through her own lived experience, Ashley understands the unique emotional and psychological challenges that often accompany living with complex health conditions. This experience has shaped her commitment to ensuring that her team has a strong foundation in understanding chronic illness, including evidence-based treatment approaches and practical strategies for improving quality of life while navigating ongoing health challenges.
We believe that individuals living with chronic illness, OCD, and trauma-related disorders deserve a therapeutic space where they feel understood, supported, and empowered to focus on healing rather than explaining the realities of their experience.
