Welcome Samantha – Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Illinois

Please join us in welcoming Samantha, LCPC, to our Illinois team!
Samantha brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach to supporting residents’ emotional well-being and quality of life. She loves connecting deeply with the individuals she serves and helping them build resilience through therapeutic support. Her favorite color is blue, and if she weren’t a counselor, she’d pursue neuropsychology — showing her passion for understanding the brain and behavior at a deeper level.

We’re grateful to have her serving residents with care and clinical expertise.

Today, the Deer Oaks team proudly joins the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Light the World in Teal initiative — a global effort to raise awareness and show support for the millions of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s.

As behavioral health providers in long-term care, we see firsthand the emotional, cognitive, and family-support needs associated with dementia and memory-related conditions. Supporting residents and care partners through evidence-based behavioral health services is a privilege — and today, we wear teal in honor of that commitment.

From office teams to facility visits, our staff “went teal” to stand with residents, caregivers, and communities impacted by Alzheimer’s.

Thank you to our partners who joined us, including team members at facilities across Texas — your support makes a meaningful difference for those we serve.

Together, we shine a light on awareness, compassion, and hope.

To our Illinois team — thank you for all you do to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. We’re grateful for you and wish everyone a joyful and peaceful holiday season!

This Halloween season, our team spread joy, connection, and seasonal fun across multiple facilities!

Cherissa, LCSW, brought her creativity and energy to resident celebrations — from hosting a game table at a community Halloween party to participating in Trunk-or-Treat events at three facilities throughout October.

Residents enjoyed games, treats, and festive cheer, and Cherissa loved being a part of the celebrations alongside other partners and vendors. Her table was a hit — and so was her commitment to bringing meaningful, uplifting engagement to the residents she serves.

Thank you, Cherissa, for going above and beyond to support your communities and help make the season special. Your dedication embodies our mission of enhancing well-being and connection for those in long-term care settings.

Happy Halloween from Deer Oaks! 👻🍬
