INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

We offer individual psychotherapy, usually in 55 minute sessions. Clients may prefer meeting once or twice per week for a period of time to feel more stable and get more assistance applying new skills to their lives outside of therapy. Feel free to reach out and discuss your preferences with us. We can help you figure out which services may best suit your needs and goals. 

Each provider has specialties and ways of providing psychotherapy that are unique to them. Everyone on our team provides effective psychotherapy to adult clients identifying as female.

IN PERSON THERAPY

Craving face to face social connections again? Is your home a little too chaotic for you to have the space for therapy sessions? If so, coming to one of our offices for in person therapy sessions is a great option!

In Chicago, we have offices in Lakeview/North Center, Andersonville, and Downtown.

ONLINE THERAPY

Telemental health or "online therapy" is available to women living in Illinois. We continue to provide a good portion of our services virtually, as our clients and staff appreciate the benefits of online therapy! Psychotherapy done online is conducted through doxy.me (similar to Skype). Our practice page is ba.doxy.me.

Telehealth therapy and counseling has been researched and shown to help people experiencing a broad range of psychological concerns. There are benefits for both the provider and the client, as services are delivered more flexibly, are easier to access, and travel costs are minimized. People who may particularly benefit from this modality include individuals who find the use of technology in therapy appealing, individuals who would like flexible, brief counseling to make health behavior changes (quitting smoking, managing weight), and individuals who prefer not to travel for these services.
