I will meet you
where you are
You should not have to translate your culture before you can talk about what hurts. At OverStream Therapy, I offer a trauma-informed, sex-positive, and culturally responsive space for international students, immigrants, trauma survivors, LGBTQ+ clients, and people navigating the complexities of modern intimacy. Therapy can make room for both depth and practical change: understanding the patterns that shaped you while building new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Aoxuan (Jessica) Cao
I am a multilingual psychotherapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST), licensed in Illinois (LCSW & LCPC), Indiana (LCSW), Wisconsin (LCSW), and Michigan (LMSW-C). My work is grounded in cultural humility, trauma-informed care, sex-positive practice, and respect for the ways culture, relationships, identity, and systems shape mental health. I frequently work with international students, immigrants, young professionals, trauma survivors, LGBTQ+ clients, and individuals and couples navigating intimacy concerns.

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
