Therapists in Chicago, IL
My approach involves a collaborative, relational approach as a foundation for building trust and safety in the relationship. I have a mind-body focus and work with clients to increase their awareness of, connection to, and the ability to shift negatively experienced emotions and sensations. I strongly believe that people are the experts of their experience and that negatively experienced symptoms are survival-based adaptations to overwhelming or oppressive life circumstances. I work to develop a compassionate stance toward and greater sense of self and identity to increase meaningful relationships within oneself and with others.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for emotional exploration and expansion where you can feel both heard and validated. My focus is primarily with adolescents and adults, inclusive of individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community, who are experiencing depression, anxiety, and/or stress from daily life challenges and changes. I feel it is important to know that all of who you are is welcome here.

As an intercultural and bilingual therapist, I provide culturally responsive, client-centered services to diverse populations in Spanish and English. I have extensive training and experience supporting children, youth, adults, couples, and families. I strive to create a safe space that is responsive, affirming, and inclusive.

Throughout my life, I have navigated a broad array of relationship structures and sexual practices, such as polyamory/non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, and sex work, both relationally and personally. I am uniquely positioned to work with each of these communities and identities through a celebratory, affirming, and sex/kink/poly-positive lens. I have earned Adler University’s Sex Therapy Certificate, adding theoretical knowledge to lived experience. However, whomever, and whyever you love and play, I celebrate you and am looking forward to supporting you and yours on your path of healing, exploration, attunement, and pleasure.

So many people come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves—pulled in different directions, carrying old wounds, or wondering why the same patterns keep showing up. My work is about helping you come home to yourself. I support clients in reconnecting with their clarity, their emotional truth, and the inner wisdom that often gets buried under life’s pressures. I’ve helped people understand themselves and relationships more deeply—sitting with clients navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, or the longing for direction and meaning.

Hi, my name is Ronny Fogle. I believe therapy provides individuals with building a strong connection with not only the therapist but with themselves as well. This connection will allow for a better understanding of sense of self or challenges experienced throughout life and how to navigate them through building a variety of skills such as coping and life skills. I am deeply passionate about mental health and social justice.

I’m a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who works with adults navigating burnout, relational trauma, life transitions, and identity shifts. I support autistic and ADHD clients, highly sensitive individuals, and those recovering from long-term masking and overfunctioning. I work in ways that respect sensory needs, energy limits, and communication differences. Therapy with me is about helping you understand yourself in context and create a life that is more sustainable and aligned with your values.

Life's most challenging moments can cause uncertainty, discomfort, stagnation, and distress. However, with support, these challenges can also lead to growth, self-reflection, and change. I work with adolescents and adults that are seeking therapy while they navigate difficult life transitions, heal from trauma, explore identity, or live with anxiety, depression, and family conflict among other challenges. It is my hope that we can work together to identify patterns in your life that no longer serve you, develop realistic and values-guided coping skills, and foster deeper connections with yourself and with those around you.

I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without shame or judgment. I provide a safe, caring and confidential environment for clients to explore their feelings, beliefs and clarify their goals. Something unique about my approach is that I use a strength-based approach, tailoring my approach to each client’s interest for engagement. I have a unique ability to help explore and discover your true identity, sexual expression, sexuality, and gender identity. I became a therapist to support the disruption of generational cycles that are not helpful while building confidence.

Together, we move at a pace that's right for you - rooted in trust, compassion, and the understanding that healing is collaborative.

I think I work best with clients whose goals are both large and realistic: working with depth enough for deep healing and growth, but with an eye to the practical, and with clear communication back and forth.

Those who have been frustrated with cookie-cutter approaches may appreciate my close listening, collaboration, and inventiveness based on extensive training and experience.

I’m a queer, multicultural Latine therapist based in Chicago, Illinois. I work with people who are carrying the long-term impact of stress, trauma, and systems that haven’t always been kind or fair. Many of the people I support are LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent (including ADHD and Autism), Latine or BIPOC, from immigrant or first-generation families, or grew up with financial instability. I offer affirming therapy in Chicago and across Illinois through telehealth. My work is shaped by my own lived experience and by years of witnessing how racism, ableism, fatphobia, and other forms of harm build up in the body over time.

Deciding to work with a therapist is a big step, often accompanied by feelings of uncertainty about what to expect. The process of therapy can take many directions, but always starts with a conversation. To begin, I'll ask questions and listen carefully as you tell me about yourself. Together, we can begin to understand how things are, how they got to be that way, how you've been managing, and in what ways you'd like things to be different. Once I have a sense of who you are and what you want, I will be a committed and caring collaborator on your journey.

Accepting new clients, as of Feb '26! Are you feeling stuck in patterns or cycles that no longer work? Do you feel misunderstood by people in your life? Challenged by the limits of your brain or body when you have difficulty meeting expectations set by society? I am here to help! We can work together on processing experiences from your past, building healthy relationships with yourself and others, or strengthening a compassionate inner voice. The way I approach therapy is built around the idea that no one exists alone. The way we are now is a result of the relationships, experiences, and connections we've had throughout our lives.

You deserve relationships, intimacy, and a life that feels alive and true to you. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules who are exploring identity, navigating relational conflict, or seeking deeper connection with themselves and others. Many of the people I support identify as LGBTQIA+, practice consensual non-monogamy, or are curious about cultivating a healthier, more liberated relationship with pleasure. At the same time, my practice is open to anyone longing for more authenticity, healing, and connection in their life. I hold this work within ongoing clinical mentorship from Jessica Fern, author of Polysecure.
