Business Details
We formed our practice through the merger of Andersonville Psychology and Chicago Mindful Psychotherapy to combine clinical expertise and expand care access. Our team comprises highly skilled clinicians with diverse qualifications in mindfulness integration, addiction recovery, and somatic-based therapeutic practices. We specialize in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Each clinician maintains a personal mindfulness practice alongside their professional mental health training to inform therapeutic work. We provide trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families across Chicago. Our intake team carefully matches clients with clinicians based on specific needs and verifies insurance benefits to reduce financial barriers.
We offer reduced fee services through staff clinician flexibility and supervised intern and extern placements to increase accessibility. Since our founding, we have committed to increasing access to mindfulness-infused psychological services for diverse communities. Our clinicians receive regular training on therapeutic approaches to maintain the highest professional standards. We serve clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. Our practice operates from Andersonville with both in-person and telehealth options for therapy groups and individual sessions. We partner with local organizations including the Andersonville and Edgewater chambers to support community wellbeing.

Therapy
We provide evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families using CBT, DBT, EMDR, and somatic approaches. Our trauma-informed clinicians specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative care for anxiety, depression, addiction, and identity exploration. Reduced fee options and insurance verification ensure accessibility for diverse Chicago communities.
Psychological Testing
Our psychological testing services deliver comprehensive assessments for diagnostic clarity and treatment planning. Licensed psychologists administer standardized measures to evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning across the lifespan. Results inform personalized therapeutic recommendations and support academic or occupational accommodations as needed.

Our clinicians provide letters for gender-affirming medical care following WPATH standards and informed consent models. Services address minority stress, dysphoria, and resilience within a trauma-informed, affirmative framework.

We offer structured therapy groups and workshops running six to ten weeks with ninety-minute sessions. Most groups meet in-person at our Andersonville office while select offerings use telehealth for accessibility. Participants commit to full series enrollment covering topics like mindfulness, DBT skills, and identity support.
Trainings
Our training programs provide professional development for clinicians seeking mindfulness integration and affirmative practice skills. We offer practicum placements for graduate students with supervision from licensed psychologists specializing in trauma and diversity. Continuing education workshops enhance clinical competence in evidence-based, culturally responsive modalities.
