Psychotherapy Chicago
It’s hard to know what to do when life hasn’t turned out the way you wanted or expected. Therapy allows you to release concerns you’ve held in, so you can feel lighter, more connected. We can help you find a path that works for you.
You may feel worn out by a long list of problems, blindsided by the unexpected, or simply feel a vague sense that things could be better.
Even for the luckiest of us, bad things happen, we get hurt, we get disappointed.
To make matters worse, you may beat yourself up for feeling bad or having problems. No one ever got better by punishing themselves more. Life is hard enough; you don’t need to pile on more crap.
Whatever you’re facing, therapy can help. We’re not here to silently nod while you do all the talking. Our counselors will actively collaborate with you and help you find your voice, your power, your happiness.
Let’s figure it out.
First off: You are enough.
Secondly: You can feel better.
We welcome you where you are right now. We believe you can do it and we will help you be brave with life.
You may feel down on yourself, but we are here to focus on your strengths and build you up. At Psychotherapy Associates of Chicago, you can let go of the fear of judgement.
Life is meant to be enjoyed. You are worthy of happiness and connection, and our therapists can help you get there with teletherapy & on-site sessions.

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

Why PAC for psychotherapy?
We are here to help people. It’s what we do and who we are. You won’t find us hiding behind clinical jargon or pretending to have all the answers. Instead, you’ll find a community of independent therapists and psychiatric nurses who bring compassion, experience, and authenticity to their work. In the couple of years we also do more than just provide psychotherapy- we also provide medication assessment and medication management.
Each clinician brings their own unique approach and specializations — including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, conflict, and trust. You have the freedom to choose the clinician whose style and focus best fit you. Sometimes you’ll click with someone right away; other times it may take more than one match. Either way, our goal is to make sure you get the help you need, even if that means connecting you with a professional outside PAC.
For more than 20 years, PAC has been part of the Chicago community — a practice dedicated to supporting independent professionals and the clients they serve. Whether on-site or online, PAC connects people with professionals offering individual therapy, psychiatric medication management, couples therapy, mindfulness, and child therapy. In addition to this core function, PAC also helps to train a small number of pre-licensed clinicians, who can provide affordable, high-quality therapy as they complete their training.
We are proud to host an inclusive community that welcomes individuals, couples, and families of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities. All are welcome here.
