Affirming Same-Sex & LGBTQAI+ Couples Counseling in Chicago
Our therapists appreciate the journey to self-discovery, self-acceptance, and the impact this may have on you and your relationships.
Regardless of the type of counseling services you are seeking you are also seeking a therapist who can understand the unique challenges and experiences you have endured along the way.
