About Us
Individualized Outpatient Mental Health Service | New Lenox
Trusted Mental Health Treatment in New Lenox
At Systemic Wellness we believe in not only helping people struggling with a variety of disorders but teaching them how to live a healthy life. We know the challenges of treating those with a variety of mental health issues as well as those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. We look at each individual and design a treatment plan that works for them and the problems they’re facing. We not only bring professionalism and experience, but also the kindness and compassion that are needed to make our patients feel comfortable and relaxed.
Our patients know that they can count on us to provide top-notch care for any issue they are facing. We get to know our patients so that we can find the right treatment for them. We want our patients to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible as they seek the treatment they need to improve their lives. While we strive to help people heal, we also want to teach them how to live a life of wellness after their plan is done. This is just as important as getting treatment from the start.

Monica Molesky, LCPC
Individual Therapist
We all know that the journey of life can be filled with many different paths. Some are beautiful and peaceful, while others are difficult to navigate and push us further away from our destination. My mission is to walk beside you, on whichever path you are currently traveling. I am here to be supportive, understanding, help explore, and create insight. I can also assist in reinforcing coping skills, reconnecting with strengths, and discovering a new meaningful life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I received my Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from Saint Xavier University. I have worked with at-risk youth, as well as adolescents and adults in residential level of care and in private practice. I have experience working with mood disorders, eating disorders, addiction, co-occurring disorders, trauma, life transitions, and grief. I believe an important piece of your recovery journey is building a supportive therapeutic relationship where you can be authentic and vulnerable. My therapy lens is adapted for your specific needs, and I do specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Both of those therapies use commitments, goals, and values to help guide you towards your most meaningful life.
I am here to support you in whichever path of recovery you currently are on and encourage exploration of where you would like to go. I look forward to meeting you!

We can all use some extra support when navigating the ups and downs of life, and I would love to be that support to you!
Alyssa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent the majority of her career working in hospital settings.

Though her current specialties include working with general pediatric and pediatric burn patients, the majority of the interventions are with parents and caregivers. Alyssa is equipped to support a broad range of ages and backgrounds through individual therapy.
