Who We Are

IntraSpectrum Counseling is Chicago’s leading psychotherapy practice dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. We provide affirming, sex-positive and kink-friendly psychotherapy from our three locations in Andersonville and The Loop, for clients of all ages and across the spectrum of gender and sexual identities. And our offices are open extra-long hours / 7-days a week, to make therapy as convenient and accessible as possible. Our therapists help you safely discover your growth edges so you can develop more adaptive, effective coping mechanisms for life stressors. In our work together, our goals are to facilitate forward momentum, enable symptom relief, and help you form healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Our Philosophy

IntraSpectrum Counseling is committed to providing an affirming therapeutic environment for the LGBTQ+ population and beyond, one that supports the development of a strong professional relationship between client and therapist. The safety and strength clients draw from that solid therapeutic relationship allows them to feel more freedom to examine, embrace, and express who they really are. We proudly offer a comprehensive array of services for clients across the spectrum of gender and sexual identities, including psychotherapy for individuals (children, adolescents, adults, seniors), relationships, and families; group therapy; letters of support for TGNC medical care; and expert consultations and LGBTQ+ sensitivity training for area schools, businesses and organizations.

Getting Started

Each of our therapists is educated & trained, and has experience working with clients of all ages and across the spectrum of gender & sexual identities. As you begin your mental health journey, we will help you navigate health benefits and create an affirming, responsive and efficient “getting started” process, including connecting you with an IntraSpectrum Counseling therapist who will be a good match for you. Contact us however is most convenient: call, send an email, or submit an online Inquiry Form from the “Get Support” page of our website (see “website” button in left column). We’ll ask about the type(s) of therapy you’re looking for & the issues you’re interested in addressing. We’ll also ask about your identities & experiences, to help us provide an intentionally affirming space. Your responses will help us determine which of our therapists might be a good match for you. We encourage you to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. When you contact us, please have your insurance info handy, & share best times for a callback. You can expect a follow-up phone call from our Client Services team within 1 business day (M-F). We look forward to connecting with you soon.

During your initial therapy sessions, you and your therapist will get to know each other a bit, & share info about your issues and goals for therapy. This also the perfect time for you to ask questions you may have of them. These discussions help your therapist create an individualized plan for working together, which you'll review together and have the opportunity to ask questions about.
