Find Relief with Online Therapy in Chicago & Illinois

You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s create a life that feels good to live—together. Get started today.

At Mindful Healing Counseling, we do therapy differently.

Because you’re not broken—you’re just carrying more than anyone ever should.

Something feels off—and maybe it’s been that way for a while.

You’re exhausted from overthinking everything.

Constantly putting on a brave face when inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, and on edge.

You keep asking yourself:

“Why am I like this?”

“Why can’t I just be happy?”

You try to hold it together… but it’s getting harder to function, to connect, to breathe.

Maybe you don’t even recognize yourself anymore.

And honestly? You’re tired of pretending you’re fine.

You’re not alone in that feeling—and you’re definitely not the only one wondering, “How did I get here?”

Here’s What We Want You to Know:

You’re not the problem.

You’re human.

You’ve been surviving the best way you know how.

Now, you're ready for more than survival.

At Mindful Healing Counseling, we believe therapy should be a soft place to land—a space to feel safe, heard, and supported without judgment.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, burnout, or relationship pain, we’re here to help you find your way back to yourself.

You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone.

We’re not just therapists—we’re your partners in healing.

And we’ll walk beside you as you move toward a life that feels lighter, calmer, and more you.

This Doesn’t Have to Be Your Forever.

A Space to Finally Breathe

Imagine a space where you can finally breathe. A place where you feel seen, heard, and supported for who you really are—no masks, no pretending.

We listen, we walk with you, and we help you move toward the life you want—one step at a time.

It’s Okay If You Don’t Have It All Figured Out

We know starting therapy can feel scary. You might wonder if you’ll be judged, misunderstood, or expected to have it all figured out.

You don’t—and you won’t.

We welcome you just as you are, and we celebrate wherever you are on your journey.

More Than Talk—Real Support, Real Tools, Real Change

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about finding what works when nothing else has.

It’s a place to breathe, heal, and regain control of your life.

We get it—because we’ve been there too.

Carrying stress, anxiety, and past pain can feel overwhelming, like you’re holding everything together while barely holding on.

But you don’t have to do it alone.

At Mindful Healing Counseling, we offer online therapy across Chicago and throughout Illinois, making support accessible wherever you are.

We show up with professional skill, yes—but also with humility, compassion, and lived understanding.

You’ll gain real tools to manage anxiety, let go of what’s weighing you down, and build healthier relationships—with yourself and others.

You deserve support that leads to real change. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here to walk with you.

You Don’t Have to Be Perfect—Just Willing to Begin

Bring your fears, questions, doubts, and hopes.

Change is possible. You can feel better.

And when you're ready, we’ll be right here, every step of the way.

You’ve Got Questions?—We’ve Got You

  • Many people wonder if their struggles are “bad enough” for therapy. The truth is, if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, therapy can help. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, past trauma, relationship challenges, or stress, you don’t have to go through it alone.

  • Your first session is a chance to get to know your therapist, share what’s bringing you to therapy, and discuss your goals. There’s no pressure to open up all at once—you set the pace. We’ll focus on making sure you feel comfortable and supported.

  • Every person’s healing journey is different. Some clients feel relief in just a few sessions, while deeper healing takes time. Our goal is to equip you with real tools and strategies so you start seeing progress as soon as possible.

  • We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna, and also offer private pay options. If we’re out of network, we can provide a superbill for reimbursement. Therapy is an investment in your mental health, and we’re happy to discuss flexible options.

  • Yes! Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and more. Plus, it’s convenient, flexible, and allows you to get support from the comfort of your own space.
