We believe that under the right conditions, all humans have the ability to reach their greatest potential. Our psychologists develop trusted relationships with their clients, validating their worth and value while facilitating growth towards becoming their unique, authentic selves. They see each client as a whole, complex person, and through safe exploration of clients’ emotions, thoughts, behaviors, greater awareness is fostered toward identifying the path of becoming one’s true self. We believe that being alive is a gift, yet being human is challenging and difficult. There are many beautiful aspects of life itself, and at the same time life has a lot of suffering. We are human and we are fallible and life involves a lot of difficult external influences. Navigating both seeing and embracing the beauty while also coping with and overcoming the suffering is the key to finding internal happiness, contentment, and peace.

College can come with a lot of pressure to figure things out while also keeping up with classes, relationships, activities, work, sports, and expectations for your future. You might be doing well on paper but still find yourself overthinking, feeling anxious, comparing yourself to others, or wondering why you never quite feel like you’re doing enough. I especially enjoy working with college students, student-athletes, performers, and high achievers navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, body image, confidence, relationships, identity, and major life transitions. You may be adjusting to college, questioning what you want next, struggling with the pressure to perform, or trying to figure out who you are outside of other people’s expectations. As a lifelong athlete with coursework in sport and performance psychology, I also understand the unique pressures that can come with competing and performing at a high level. We can talk about performance anxiety, injuries, burnout, confidence, relationships with coaches or teammates, and what happens when so much of your identity becomes connected to how well you perform. My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative. I believe you know yourself better than anyone else, so therapy with me isn’t about being told what you should do. Some sessions may be a place to talk things through, while others may involve more direction or learning new ways to manage what you’re experiencing. I draw from CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing when helpful, and humor is always welcome. You don’t have to stop being ambitious or caring deeply about the things that matter to you. Therapy can help you better understand yourself, feel more confident in your choices, and build a life that feels like yours, not just one that looks successful from the outside.

Founded in 2017, Depth Counseling is a group psychotherapy practice, offering long-term, psychoanalytic psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. We work in person and by telehealth, with locations in Chicago, Illinois in the Chicago Loop and Ravenswood neighborhoods. In 2026 we began offering telehealth to clients across the state of Massachusetts. Our primary goal is to help our clients get beneath their presenting symptoms to identify the blocks that hold them back from living their fullest and most rewarding lives. We believe in the transformative power of this work and in the potential for growth at any stage of life. Our mission is to make high-quality, long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy accessible, welcoming, and relatable to the people in our greater community, regardless of any client’s race, color, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or income level. We offer individual, couples, and family counseling services for those experiencing challenges with grief, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and much more.

Therapy can be a very powerful way to show up for yourself- opening yourself up to new ways of approaching life’s challenges and building the skills to work with your emotions rather than against them. If we work together, I will help you explore what your emotions are trying to tell you. From there, we will focus on developing the skills to feel more of what you want to feel and less of what you don’t, to treat yourself with kindness and respect, and to show up authentically in your relationships. I make it a priority to create a space that feels safe and affirming, while also challenging you to push toward your goals. Clients often describe me as warm, gentle, and encouraging, while also valuing my humor, directness, and genuine connection. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I look forward to meeting you!

I’m a Clinical Psychologist who works with a large number of students and early career professionals navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship and family concerns, and identity-related questions. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process that unfolds through developing a strong alliance with a therapist. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental space for people to name, feel, and share their unique experiences. Although it can be difficult to put your emotional life into words, the decision to do so has the power to open up new ways of knowing and understanding yourself. It can also reveal patterns in your life that you might wish to explore in order to create space for more meaningful and satisfying possibilities. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation, please feel free to reach out.

Oftentimes our stories are dictated by others; our beliefs, values, and expectations are shaped by the world around us without our consent. We often lose sight of the depth of our innate capacity for change, becoming weighed down by real experiences of systemic oppression and cultural norms. ReVolition Therapy invites you to evaluate your beliefs, reclaim your power and tap into your intuitive voice. ReVolition believes that everyone deserves access to compassionate and affirming therapy, and we are committed to supporting the unique journeys and challenges of our clients. ReVolition Therapy is dedicated to promoting mental health and empowering individuals to live their most authentic lives. Our team of therapists has a deep understanding of the intersectional experiences that our clients encounter, including the impact of racism, ableism, heteronormativity, cissexism, and homophobia. We believe in fostering a non-judgmental environment where clients can freely express their thoughts, emotions, and identities.

Accepting New Clients! Many people begin searching for therapy when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. If that’s you, I’m really glad you’re here.

I can help you figure out what you need in order to feel more like yourself. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. If you are ready to see yourself thrive and not just survive, I believe I can help you. I am passionate about working with queer community, neurodivergent folks, younger adults and those within the non-monogamous or kink communities. Though normies are welcome too. I frequently work with people who are struggling with issues like anxiety, OCD, depression, self esteem, body image issues, and very common emotion "this sucks". Everyone is looking for something different in therapy. Some folks want direct skills others want to process more, either way I can help.

Beginning therapy can often seem daunting. It can be the first time you are admitting something isn’t working, or you aren’t feeling okay. I want to provide the space and time for you to sit with that possibility, work together to understand those thoughts and feelings, and use your experiences to guide you toward new, affirming spaces and connections. Together, we can support you in navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, neurodivergence, identity and LGBTQ+ related concerns, as well as relationship challenges, family dynamics, and major life transitions. Whether you’re beginning therapy or returning to it, I look forward to connecting and working together.

Located in the Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Bailey and Associates Counseling and Psychotherapy offers individual psychotherapy and counseling services and art therapy. You currently have the choice to meet online or in office. I specialize in working with adults seeking change. My approach to counseling is client-centered and trauma-informed, encouraging the expression of personal narrative to build self-understanding and community. I support clients in the use of art-making as a grounding tool to process experiences and relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My intention is to establish a collaborative space alongside clients that fosters bravery; where we can collect helpful coping tools as we work toward clients' goals together. To me, "healing" lies in seeking peace and a sense of wholeness, and not in achieving "perfection." My specialties include supporting individuals with a history of PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and/or living with chronic illness. I enjoy supporting my clients through spiritual exploration and developing a healthy relationship to art. My approach is sex-positive and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming. I love working with artists, Veterans, and existential explorers. I understand how intimidating it can be to start therapy for the first time or to find a new therapist after wrapping up with someone else. I take pride in my ability to put others at ease as we build our relationship with patience and compassion. Please don't hesitate to reach out to schedule a consultation and find out if we are a good therapeutic match.

Life can be challenging. I believe psychotherapy with a therapist who is a good match can help one more successfully navigate those challenges. I work collaboratively with my clients.

I maintain a general practice where I see a wide diversity of men and women for issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and identity.
