Therapy for Real People in Chicago
At Reclaim Counseling & Consulting, we provide therapy for adults in the Chicago area who are ready to reconnect with themselves and reclaim their stories.
Our office is rooted in community, accessibility, and the belief that healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in relationships.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, identity shifts, or relationship challenges, our clinicians meet you with authenticity, compassion, and care.
We’re proud to serve the diverse neighborhoods of Chicago with evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy for adults 21 and over.
Our Approach
Healing looks different for everyone. That’s why our clinicians use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens with every client we work with.
We honor your lived experience, your intersecting identities, and your personal pace of healing.
Our team is trained in modalities that help you explore patterns, build resilience, and move toward self-understanding — without judgment, and always in partnership with you.
We provide both in-person sessions at our Chicago office and secure telehealth appointments for Illinois residents who prefer virtual care.
Therapies We Offer
Our clinicians integrate a range of evidence-based therapies to support holistic healing, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
To help identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
For emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Trauma-Informed Care
to create safety and stability in the therapy process.
Family Systems Therapy

Family Systems Therapy
To understand how family dynamics impact your well being.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
For grounding, awareness, and connection to the present moment.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
For individuals experiencing both mental health and substance use challenges.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
That affirms your identity and honors your lived experience.
Each treatment plan is collaborative and unique — guided by what you need, not what a manual says you “should” be doing.
Who We Treat
Reclaim Counseling & Consulting works exclusively with adults (21+). We are LGBTQIA+ affirming, gender-inclusive, and culturally sensitive in our approach.
Our clinicians create space for clients of all backgrounds to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
We know that identity and culture shape how we experience the world — and how we heal. You don’t have to leave parts of yourself at the door to receive care here.

Our Chicago office is conveniently located and accessible by major public transportation routes. We also provide free street parking nearby for in-person sessions.
If you prefer to meet virtually, we offer HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions across Illinois.
