About Us

Chicago Psychotherapy, PLLC is a private therapy practice in the heart of Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. We provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy, as well as psychological assessment, parenting workshops, school-based services, and clinical training. Our team specializes in supporting clients with a range of mental health and behavioral health conditions, including anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, tics, emotion dysregulation, trauma, ADHD, peripartum mental health concerns, and adjustment-related challenges. Our clients range in age from young children to older adults, and we welcome clients from all backgrounds and all walks of life.

Our approach is evidence-based, strength-based, contextual, and collaborative. We work closely with clients and their families to meet meaningful treatment goals. Our therapists tailor evidence-based interventions to meet the individual needs of each and every client we serve. Our assessment services help clients better understand their unique profiles, strengths, and challenges, so they can access the academic, workplace, and therapeutic supports needed to thrive.

We are currently accepting new clients for both therapy and assessment services.
