We are a Group Practice where therapy is performed by Queer Identified/ Aligned and Trauma-Informed Professionals. You want to find support you need with gender, relationship, and sex therapy in the Chicagoland area but you’re not sure where to start… You want to find a community that supports you on the days when you feel like you have nothing left to give and will simply say, “Keep holding on! You’re doing great. (Kitten meme)”… You want to do more than just survive and need ideas and tools to help you get there. You want to feel free and happy without feeling like you must hide parts of yourself…You want to feel calm, confident, and powerful in your own, unique skin, even in a world that doesn't celebrate your various, intersecting identities.
