Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in our sessions, we promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions.
Our general approach to therapy is to view each individual with no judgments or preconceptions; whatever you want to focus on will be our focus as well. At the end of the day, we want you to leave our sessions having either added more tools to your tool belt or having strengthened the tools that you are already using.
At Free Minded Counseling, we've had to honor to work with the people of Chicago in various capacities for over ten years. It's our mission to continue to provide a safe space for people to grow and continue to challenge themselves regardless of what they might be experiencing. We look forward to going on this journey with you!
