Support Groups in 60602
Let’s face it, men. We’ve been raised to believe we have to fit squarely inside “the man box.” The only emotion we’re allowed to express is anger. Well, we’re calling BS on that! The Chicago men's counseling group is a place to let it out and connect with other men who are experiencing many of the same issues as you. We’re a group of real men who have meaningful conversations that help reveal solutions to the problems we face.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides an opportunity to gain the skills necessary for identifying, experiencing and regulating emotions, in order to interact more effectively with ourselves and others. In this skills training group, discussions focus on managing emotions, learning to be more effective in relationships, and learning techniques for tolerating distress. The overall approach to therapy is called "dialectical" because it seeks balance between opposites--such as acceptance and change, validation and challenge, rigidity and flexibility. Underlying DBT is the practice of "mindfulness." Drawn from the Zen tradition of meditation, mindfulness is about attending to the moment, without judgment or impulsivity.

Trauma can have a lasting impact on our sense of self, and leave us feeling stuck in the past, disconnected from who we want to be. We will focus on developing techniques for emotion and nervous system regulation - empowering you to stay in the present and move towards the life you want. This group will help you to manage painful emotions, uncover how your past experiences are impacting you presently, and develop self trust. Through psycho-education, skills building, and supportive processing, you will leave this group with a greater capacity for self-soothing and creating safety in your body.

Born as a response to current political climate, this is a teletherapy group for queer folks to find a safe space to navigate and process emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

I founded Downtown Psychiatry Chicago with one guiding belief: psychiatry should be a trusted relationship between doctor and patient. Too often, mental health care is shaped by insurance rules, rushed visits, and impersonal systems. My practice returns to the fundamentals - listening closely, taking time, and providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in trust. As a private-pay, direct care practice, we protect the sacred space where healing happens, free from red tape. I offer compassionate, collaborative care for children, adults, and families, with flexible scheduling, secure messaging, and a commitment to long-term continuity of care. This is personalized psychiatry.

My 17 trauma-focused psychotherapy groups provide therapeutic spaces to experience the transformative power of healing in community. Together, members identify and unpack deep attachment wounds, change self-destructive behavioral patterns, and enrich their lives. My model is strength- and resiliency-based. I am supportive and directive, compassionate and challenging, process-oriented, and goal-oriented. I approach therapy with warmth, authenticity, and depth of concern for my patients' total well-being. I encourage transparency, speakability, and exploration of power dynamics as they play out in group and society.
