About

Rhonda J. Fleming

I am the Founder and CEO of Grasping the Basics, LLC. I have worked with teens and families through Chicago Public Schools for 11 years, as well as various agencies and churches for over 20 years.

I have a passion for youth and believe that not only the individual but the family plays a role in forgiveness and healing. For this reason, I offer counseling to assist with overcoming challenges so commonly experienced in undeserved communities. Consequences such as depression, anger and anxiety are often the result of trauma experienced at some point in one's life.
