Therapists near me in Chicago, IL

I'm a queer nonbinary African American Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. With a Masters in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), I've been practicing for 5 years to support children, teens, and young adults up to age 30 with becoming the best versions of themselves. Trained to help you manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, and gender identity, your LGBTQ+ affirming therapist of color awaits!

Hello, I’m Marisol Cruz. I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) offering therapy in both English and Spanish. With 24 years of experience as a school counselor and over 5 years as a mental health clinician, I support adults who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-worth or confidence. I also have extensive experience helping individuals manage overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and communication difficulties. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy should feel safe and supportive, and I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly. Together, we will identify your goals, understand what’s weighing on you, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced. Whether you’re seeking clarity, guidance, healing, or personal growth, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s work together to create meaningful and lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who provides thoughtful, collaborative psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. My clinical approach is grounded in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe therapy should create space not only to address what you are feeling, but also to understand what may be happening beneath the surface. I help clients explore how past relationships, experiences, beliefs, and emotional patterns may influence the way they think, feel, relate, and respond in the present. While symptom relief matters, I do not believe therapy should focus on symptoms alone. I work with clients to understand the meaning behind their experiences while also using practical CBT strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier responses, and strengthen coping skills. My therapeutic style is conversational, reflective, supportive, and insight-oriented. Sessions provide space to slow down, think openly, make connections, and better understand yourself without feeling pressured to have everything figured out. I especially enjoy working with adults who are functioning in their daily lives but recognize that something feels unresolved, overwhelming, repetitive, or out of alignment. Therapy becomes a place to explore what is happening, understand yourself more deeply, and make intentional changes that support greater emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.

I’m a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping clients build skills to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters most to them. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where change feels possible and sustainable. I work to understand people''s experiences and how those experiences impact people.

Hello, Welcome and thank you for being here! My name is Maritza and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Starting therapy is a meaningful step and can bring up a lot at once; relief, uncertainty, hope, or even fear. All of these feelings are valid. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can slow things down and explore what’s been feeling heavy. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the impact of past experiences. This can show up as overthinking, worry, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally drained from trying to manage it all on your own. In our work together, we'll focus on understanding what’s getting in the way, build practical coping tools, and strengthen your ability to respond to life in ways that feel more grounded and intentional. Therapy is also a space for growth, reflection, and reconnecting with yourself in a deeper way. If you're looking for support in that process, I'm here when you're ready.

First, I help us develop trust and build a positive relationship; then, I help you increase your capacity to ask yourself questions, challenge previous assumptions and patterns, understand your family and social environments (while trying out new thoughts and actions). Together, we walk the path of progress and change, taking steps towards becoming the best possible version of ourselves, as often as we can. I was awarded a Master’s degree from University of Chicago in 2007, and Bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College in 2001; my post-Master's training includes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Social Thinking/Social Behavior Mapping to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Diagnoses.

Seeking support takes courage, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, and adults, tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs, experiences, and stage of life. With children, I focus on building social skills, managing their emotions, and developing practical problem-solving strategies. With adolescents, I offer a supportive space to explore identity, navigate peer and family relationships, process complex emotions, and consider future possibilities. With adults, I provide support in finding a sense of purpose, developing balance by creating sustainable self-care routines, and navigating life’s transitions. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful change. I invite you to reach out and take the first step toward greater clarity, balance, and connection.

Sometimes life can feel heavy, even when everything looks fine from the outside. You may be keeping up with school, work, family, or relationships while privately feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. You may also be trying to cope with past trauma, substance use, or patterns that no longer feel helpful. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are ready for support but may not know exactly where to begin. My goal is to offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you are going through.

I work with individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, life transitions, depression, and anxiety. You may be looking for a fulfilling relationship, struggling to communicate with a significant other, or working through betrayal trauma. You may be seeking guidance while in a polyamorous / non-monogamous relationship. You may be in the midst of a life transition, feeling lost and overwhelmed, needing compassionate support and direction. I also support women experiencing perimenopause and menopause-related life changes. Peri- and menopause can be a difficult time, filled with physical discomfort and emotional upheaval. I offer a supportive space where you can share your experiences and find effective strategies to overcome your struggles. I am here to empower you with new tools that will move you toward what brings you to life. I will guide you toward self-compassion, so you can embrace all aspects of yourself and thrive. I ensure that my therapy space is safe, sex-positive, LGBTQIA, ENM/Polyamory, neurodiversity, and kink affirming.
