About

When working with clients, Ida promotes mental health through empowerment and collaboration, exploring your unique concerns through a biopsychosocial model. This approach recognizes that mental health is shaped by the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors.

She is especially passionate about supporting those who feel like societal outcasts or like they just don’t quite “fit.” Her aim is to create a nonjudgmental space for individuals to shed the labels others have placed on them so that they can explore their true values. Whether confronting childhood emotional neglect, redefining their identity, or unpacking religious trauma, she supports clients in achieving their unique goals.

​Ida works with adult individuals from diverse backgrounds. Her clinical work and training has focused on addiction, eating disorders, childhood emotional neglect, LGBTQIA+ concerns, cultic abuse, religious trauma, and animal-assisted therapy. 

Ida Duplantier holds a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She completed her Bachelor of Science in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Washington University where she also earned a certificate in Forensic Psychology.  

She is currently providing counseling services under the supervision of Victoria Aitken, LPC, NCC.
