🌟Employee spotlight: Meet Yekseny

Yekseny is a Licensed Counselor and Art Therapist in the Outpatient department at Leyden Family Service. We are grateful for her mission to make Art Therapy accessible to clients in community mental health.

Yekseny started with Leyden in 2023 and integrates Art Therapy Interventions into both individual and group therapy. She has shared the art of healing through previous mental health groups such as Doll Making for Mental Health and Open Art Studios.

She currently runs a processing group for Junk Journaling and continues to run Monthly Open Art Studios for adult clients of Leyden. Yekseny also facilitates Art Therapy activities with the outpatient team, which educates each therapist on the use of art interventions and simultaneously fosters a supportive team building environment. Yekseny’s specialty has also contributed to redesigning therapeutic spaces within Leyden. If you haven’t seen the mural in our child therapy room, come by for a look!

What drives her most is her dedication to her community:
“A promise I made to myself after finishing my degree was to come back to my community and serve them to provide exposure to services that are highly needed such as Art Therapy. I want them to have more than what I did growing up in this community.”

We thank Yekseny for her creative and therapeutic dedication to the Leyden community. If you are interested in therapy, call our main line for intake 847-451-0330. You can also connect with Yekseny in the community through her free Art Therapy Groups at The Firehouse Dream (Maywood, IL).

It’s normal to feel off during winter—but sometimes it’s more than seasonal changes. Now that Winter is in its full effects, here are the differences between Winter Blues, or seasonal depression, and general depression:

⛄️Winter Blues
❄️📍Mood dips when days are darker
❄️📍Lower energy, but you can still function
❄️📍Motivation comes and goes
❄️📍Mood improves with sunlight, rest, or routine
❄️📍Feels manageable, even if uncomfortable

🌧️ Depression
❄️📍Persistent sadness or emptiness most days
❄️📍Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
❄️📍Significant changes in sleep or appetite
❄️📍Feeling hopeless, numb, or worthless
❄️📍Daily life feels hard to manage
❄️📍Symptoms last 2+ weeks or worsen

In either situation, you don’t need to “wait until it’s bad enough” to ask for support. Both deserve care. Both are valid.

If winter feels heavier than usual, reaching out to Leyden Family Service can make a real difference 🤍
You’re not weak for struggling. You’re human. If you or someone you know appears to be struggling with winter blues or depression, our services like the Living Room are available for you to speak to a mental health professional 24/7.
