Who We Serve

Adults navigating trauma and PTSD

We support adults living with:

• Complex PTSD

• Childhood trauma and neglect

• Religious trauma

• Sexual assault

• Domestic violence and coercive control

• Attachment wounds and relational trauma

Our clinicians draw from IFS, DBT, ACT, trauma-informed CBT, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to restore nervous system safety, emotional regulation, and self-trust.

BIPOC, first-generation and immigrant communities

This work is deeply personal for us. We serve clients who straddle cultures, languages, and histories. Clients who carry ancestral resilience in one hand and intergenerational pain in the other. We hold space for:

• BIPOC clients seeking culturally attuned care

• First- and second-generation immigrants

• Clients navigating family expectations and bicultural identity

• Clients exploring assimilation, diaspora grief, and belonging

• Clients impacted by racism, Islamophobia, colorism, xenophobia

Neurodivergent and neurodivergent-questioning adults

We provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for clients with:

• ADHD

• Autism

• OCD

• Sensory processing differences

• Demand avoidance

• Executive dysfunction

• Masking and burnout

We do not pathologize divergence. We help you understand your nervous system, build regulation skills, improve executive functioning, and explore identity without shame or masking. Modalities include DBT, ACT, executive function coaching strategies, and somatic regulation work.

Queer and trans clients

Our practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and safety-focused. We support clients exploring:

• Gender identity and transitions

• Sexual identity and coming out

• Religious and cultural conflicts around identity

• Family acceptance, chosen family, and community

• Queer trauma and minority stress

• Relationship needs and boundaries

Survivors of domestic violence and coercive control

We specialize in helping survivors of:

• Coercive control

• Emotional and psychological abuse

• Narcissistic abuse

• Religious and patriarchal control systems

• Intimate partner violence

Therapy focuses on rebuilding voice, autonomy, safety, and internal clarity. We help you understand trauma bonding, gaslighting, attachment wounds, nervous system survival responses, and the path back to self.

High achievers with functional anxiety

If you are the friend who holds it together, the one with the resume and the insomnia, the one who never lets the ball drop but feels chronically overwhelmed, we see you. We support:

• Perfectionists

• People pleasers

• Eldest daughters

• Helpers and healers

• Students and professionals

• Activists and organizers

We integrate nervous system work, emotional regulation skills, boundary-setting, and values-based life design.

Telehealth and in-person availability

We offer therapy through secure telehealth statewide in Illinois, and limited in-person sessions in Chicago. If you are searching for trauma-informed, culturally responsive, or neurodivergent-affirming therapy near you, our clinicians are licensed to serve across the state.

Insurance and payment

We accept insurance and private pay. Many clients use their insurance for ongoing weekly therapy. We will verify benefits and walk you through the process during intake.
