My website

Hey, we can figure this out! I most often work with ages 12-25, teens and their families, guardians/foster/adoption, adult men, LGBTQ people, and POC. We work on issues like trauma, difficult childhoods, behavior/parenting, relationships of all kinds, suicide, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and identity. You'll learn to more effectively identify and communicate about emotions, and try new patterns in how you think, act, feel, and relate to others.

In sessions, we will blend supportive conversation with creative, practical strategies to make the changes you're looking for. My approach is based on years of experience, research evidence, and helpful feedback from my clients.

Email or call with questions, a low pressure way to feel it out before you schedule a session. I worked in a diverse community mental health clinic near Humboldt Park for 12 years, including running the teen IOP, and I'd love to meet you and see if I can be of help.

Groups

Finding adulthood after a tough childhood

Hosted by

Rachel Kazez

After growing up in a chaotic, abusive, or unsupportive household, becoming an adult can feel lonely and confusing. You didn't have the childhood you deserved. Let's support each other into what's next. This group meets once a month to celebrate, support, and figure out what's next. We have wide-ranging discussions that include funny, tough, and meaningful topics. This is for AFAB/trans people, especially POC. Two groups: Ages 19-24 and ages 25-30.

Make It Another Month

We aren't trying to change your mind. This group accepts that wanting to not be alive is part of some people's normal, and offers camaraderie, humor, listening, and planning to make it a little easier to stick around for another month. Wide sliding scale (no insurance needed). Monthly meetings, in person. Members are over 30 and have tried more than one therapy for SI before. We usually meet the first Tuesday night of the month, but group is scheduled month to month based on members' schedules.
