About Mindful Healing Counseling—Online Therapy in Illinois
Culturally affirming online therapy in Illinois for anxiety, trauma, and relationships. Our diverse, inclusive team offers evidence-based care to help you heal and thrive—wherever you are.
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 safe, affirming space where you can show up as your true self, feel understood, and heal at your own pace.
We see ourselves as a blend of guidance and support—walking alongside you, not just as therapists, but as people who genuinely care. We’re here to help you grow, find relief, and live a more fulfilled life.
Our therapists have been there too—they understand the struggle and are passionate about helping you heal with compassion, hope, and real tools for change.
Whether you’re searching for online anxiety therapy in Chicago, trauma counseling services in Illinois, or a therapist for people of color in Illinois, we are here to support 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, specialists in young adult therapy in Illinois, and experts in culturally sensitive and trauma informed therapy in Chicago. We understand the unique experiences of our clients.
Founded by a Black woman, our practice is deeply committed to breaking the stigma around mental health and creating a culture of care that truly sees you.
We know therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we meet you where you are—helping you process life’s challenges, build healthier relationships, and rediscover your strength.
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.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or major life changes, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
We use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and relational therapy—all personalized to your unique needs. CBT helps reframe anxious thoughts, mindfulness reduces stress, and trauma-informed care ensures safety in healing.
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna insurance for online therapy.
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 offer online mental health counseling in Illinois, providing online mental health services in Illinois for teens, young adults, and adults.
Whether you're in Chicago or anywhere across the state, you can receive the care you need from the comfort of your home.
