The Team

Who We Are

Rachel Borsellino, Owner

JD, MA, LCPC, NCPC, Clinical Supervisor

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator (NCPC), and a Certified Mediator with the state of Illinois. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in criminal/social justice from Lewis University, my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Lewis University, and my Juris Doctor Degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law.

I specialize in children, teens, families, and adults experiencing life adjustments, codependency, teen pregnancy and motherhood, parenting issues, parental alienation, narcissistic personality, reunification therapy, divorce, infidelity, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, and grounded on the premise that we are not defined by our successes, circumstances, or shortcomings, but rather by the choices we make as a result. Every day is an opportunity to change our lives in some way - to live a little different, to understand a little deeper, to grow a little stronger, and to push ourselves a little harder. Whether you're in a good place looking to maintain, or in a dark place looking for a way out, you don’t have to do it alone.

In addition to being a therapist, I am a practicing divorce attorney, Guardian ad Litem, and owner of Borsellino Law & Mediation, LLC.

Allison Byrne, Therapist

MA, LCSW, CADC

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in school social work, and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor within the state of Illinois. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Substance Abuse Counseling at the University of St. Francis and my Master’s Degree in Social Work with specialization in schools from Aurora University. In addition to being a therapist, I also currently work as a school social worker at the high school level.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults as they work through anxiety, depression, life transitions, substance use, self esteem, relational issues and the everyday challenges.

My therapeutic approach is building a strong collaborative relationship to support and guide you while you work through your life journey. While working with you to develop creative interventions that fit your needs whether that be through Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Relaxation and Stress reduction, or working on creating a variety of skills to apply them to your everyday life. I believe what you put into things is what you’ll get out so the choice is always yours.

Caitlin Davenport

Court Services Coordinator

Hi! I'm Caitlin, and I’m the Court Services Coordinator here at Grassroots Therapy. I’m your main point of contact for all court-related services, including supervised parenting time and court ordered therapeutic services when our team is appointed by the courts. I coordinate these services from the administrative side and work closely with families, attorneys, and the courts to make sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

With a background as a paralegal since 2010, I bring extensive experience in navigating legal systems, case management, and client communication. I understand how overwhelming court-involved processes can be, and my goal is to help take as much stress out of the process as possible through clear, timely, and compassionate support.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy playing pickleball and spending time with my family and friends. I’m proud to be part of a team that’s passionate about helping families through challenging times with care and professionalism. I look forward to working with you!

Ellis Hay (Heyen), Therapist

MSEd, LPC

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) within the state of Illinois. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Illinois State University and my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Illinois University.

If you're ready to make a change, I'd be honored to support you.
