Meet Kama Schulte

Kama Joy Schulte, LCPC, ATR-BC

Hey there! Welcome!

I’m Kama. I’m a Chicago-Based Solution Focused Therapist for Professional Women & Entrepreneurs. A few fun facts to get started…

  • She/Her

  • Kama is Prounounced “KAY-muh” - as in CAME a joy ;-)

  • Absolutely Obsessed with Vegan Cupcakes & Big Star Tacos

  • Terrible techie & owning it!

  • Lived with Thai Buddhist Monks who mentored me on the art of meditation at a monastery in Thailand! This experience changed the course of my life!!

  • Myers Briggs + Human Design NERD

  • Huskies at my heels 24/7 - Raising 2 Hilarious Siberian Husky Rescues.

  • Green Juice QUEEN. Joe + the Juice ain’t got nothin’ on me! I can take ‘em!

  • Artist, Yogini, & 5x Marathoner. Did I mention… I hate running? Go figure??!!

  • Stand Up Paddle Board, Pad Thai & Pamplemousse Connoisseur

Now, let’s get to the extra sparkly stuff…

First and foremost, I’m a woman impassioned to empower you … in your relationships, in your purpose AND… IN. YOUR. LIFE. (The sooner the better!)

I’m uber-impressed with women, like you, who want more! More for yourself. More for your relationships. More for your purpose on the planet.

One of my favorite experiences is empowering women to claim and/or reclaim your personal power, step into that power and TAKE UP SPACE! WHEW! Now that’s a beautiful thing!

Being a women’s therapist is just one of the ways I embody this passion & MY purpose. Creating art in community with other women, PARENTING & loving on my squad rank, too!

I’d love the opportunity to welcome you into my practice and collaborate on some personal-growth magic! Think Clarity, Intention & Curiosity!

When you invite me into your world, we’ll explore what’s concerning you & where you’re stuck or feeling defeated. We’ll clarify where you’d like some support, what makes you tick, and what lights you up. We’ll strategize and design the blueprint for YOUR happiness & peace. Most importantly, we’ll get you back to “center “ and experiencing YOUR true north.

Creating your heart’s desire is a process, right??!!

Reach out and let’s talk! I’m excited to hear what you want to shift & create for yourself and I’ll be honored to join you on this portion of your path!!

What clients are saying…

  • "Kama created a safe space for me to finally share my story in full. Her ability to listen, remain present and offer compassion helped me feel comfortable enough to go deep with my process. I'm so grateful for this work & the healing I've experienced."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • “Kama’s intuitive approach & perceptiveness has helped me get real insight into myself. I’m really excited to put what I've learned into action. I've finally taking some real steps forward!”

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "I'm so grateful for Kama's help in getting me through a challenging period after my divorce. It's great to be feeling like myself again!"

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "This is undoubtedly the most significant work I've ever done.

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Kama Schulte YOU'RE THE BOMB dot com!"

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "In working with Kama, I have to say that I haven't felt more myself in many years. Maybe a better version, even!"

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Even the thought of setting boundaries with family & friends used to give me so much guilt. With Kama's support & guidance, I've learned alot about how to say "NO" & get clear with myself about not only what I want, but also what actually works for me. It's been a complete game changer for me & my anxiety."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "When I look back on all the changes I've made in the past year & how far I've come, I'm literally blown away by my progress!"

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "I can't thank Kama enough for all that she's done for me. I can actually still hear her voice as I'm making decisions in my life & in my relationships. I'm so grateful for the work we've done together."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Kama's support has meant the world to me. After a breakup, she helped me understand the "red flags" of that relationship and how to listen to the signals my body was sending me. It must've worked, LOL, because I've since found my person & we're getting married! Amazing! Thank you, Kama! I tell all my girlfriends about you & how much I've loved working together."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "After completing my work with Kama, I'm still finding ACT extremely useful. Incorporating ACT with the Solution Focused approach was SPOT ON for me! I'm taking "committed action" in my life on the daily, in a way that I would have never thought possible!"

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "This work has changed my life, especially my confidence and how I experience relationships. Because of our work together, I gained the confidence to get out of a relationship that didn't work for me. This decision created the space and confidence I needed to become the woman I've always wanted to be."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Kama's intuitive & compassionate approach helped me tune in to my body & to how I was feeling. Most importantly, she helped me understand how to take a step back & name what was going on for me in that moment & gain a clear understanding of "why" I felt the way I did. I'd not experienced this kind of awareness before. It's given me a real opportunity to make more intentional choices for myself. "

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Who knew that setting boundaries would change my life! Once I started paying more attention to what was contributing to my anxiety, I realized I could make more intentional choices about who I was spending my time & energy with. Kama's relationship knowledge & her support have given me the courage to set limits with people who don't offer me "reciprocity." It's made a huge difference with me feeling less anxious & has given me clarity on what & who I actually want in my life."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "This work has shifted everything for me. It's actually opened up space & energy for me to explore what I want for my life & to figure out my next career move."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Kama is the best kind of therapist- part therapist / part coach, a true hybrid. Her approach was a great fit for me."

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "I accomplished more in 2 months of working with Kama than in the 2 years prior of working with a different therapist. My confidence in the workplace has sky-rocketed!"

    — Spontaneously Shared By Client

  • "Working with Kama has helped me become the best version of myself. I now talk about my feelings. I listen to my body & my gut. I'm so much kinder to myself. I'm doing REALLY WELL! In fact, I just landed a new job & I'm now engaged to be married. Thank you, Kama!
