Our Expertise
Hablamos Español
Also known as “CBT,” cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based psychological treatment to assist individuals who are facing mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, and depression. Through CBT, you will work with your therapist to recognize your thought patterns and behaviors and learn new tools that help alleviate problems in your life. To learn more about CBT, simply reach out to our Chicago cognitive behavioral therapists!
Depression can cause overwhelming feelings of emptiness, sadness, and loneliness to permeate every aspect of your life. By seeking therapy services, you’ll be able to manage how depression affects your life. Our talk therapists can’t wait to help!

As a proud Latinx woman, I understand the deep seeded stigma that comes with seeking and engaging in mental wellness services in our community.
What Sets Latinx Talk Therapy Apart.
Hay Que Hablar!

- We are proud to be a Latinx-owned and operated therapy clinic.
- Our clinical therapists have Latinx backgrounds and are familiar with the mental and emotional struggles our community experiences. This includes mental health challenges like inequity, racial disparities, stigma “no estoy loco,” a need for Spanish fluent therapists, privacy concerns “el que diran,” and cultural differences.
- We hear you, and we understand what you’re going through.
- Our goal is to help you put your traumatic experiences in the past so you can achieve a positive and uplifting future. We do so by building healing, healthy connections with our clients and offering our guidance and empathy.
