About Mindful Healing Counseling
Culturally affirming online therapy in Chicago and Illinois for anxiety, trauma, and relationships
Healing Starts Here—A Safe, Inclusive Space Just for You
At Mindful Healing Counseling, your story matters—and you deserve a space to heal.
We know how hard it can be to ask for help. Maybe life feels overwhelming, past wounds still linger, or you're struggling to find your place in the world. Whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to do it alone.
Our mission is simple: to create a space where you are truly seen, where your story is honored, and where healing happens at your own pace.
Through online therapy in Chicago and Illinois, our diverse, inclusive team provides evidence‑based care to help you heal and thrive—wherever you are.
You’re already enough — and you deserve support that sees the whole you.
An Inclusive, Affirming Approach to Therapy
At Mindful Healing Counseling, we are deeply committed to inclusivity and celebrate diversity in all its forms.
Our team includes Black therapists, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists in Chicago, and specialists in anxiety therapy across Illinois. We’re also experienced in culturally sensitive, trauma‑informed care—because your story, identity, and lived experiences matter.
If you’re looking for a trauma informed therapist in Chicago, you’ll find compassionate professionals who understand how culture and identity impact mental health. We provide care that centers your story and helps you feel safe, understood, and supported.
Founded by a Black woman, our practice is dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health and building a culture of care that truly sees you.
We know therapy isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. That’s why we offer online therapy in Chicago and throughout Illinois to meet you where you are—walking with you through life’s ups and downs, helping you build stronger relationships and feel like yourself again.
The Right Therapist Makes All the Difference
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Our team is here to help you feel comfortable, heard, and truly supported.
We see ourselves as a blend of guidance and support—walking alongside you, not just as therapists, but as people who genuinely care. Our therapists have been there too—they understand the struggle, and they’re passionate about helping you heal with compassion, hope, and real tools for change.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or major life changes, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
We use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, relational therapy, and trauma-informed care—always personalized to your unique needs.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna insurance for online therapy, making it easier to find affordable therapy in Chicago that accepts insurance without the stress of navigating it all on your own.
Flexible Online Therapy Across Illinois—From Chicago to Wherever You Are
We believe therapy should be accessible, flexible, and free of barriers. That’s why we provide online therapy in Chicago and throughout Illinois, making it easy to get the support you need without commuting or rearranging your entire day.
Whether you're in the heart of Chicago or a small town across Illinois, you deserve care that meets you where you are.
We’re in-network with BCBS PPO, Blue Choice PPO, and Aetna PPO, and we also accept out-of-network benefits and offer sliding scale spots to help make therapy more affordable.
