About Us

Mindful Healing Counseling is an affirming, trauma-informed therapy practice providing online counseling to LGBTQIA+ and queer adults across Illinois. We support individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of living in a world that doesn’t always feel safe or affirming.

Many of the people we serve have spent years being “the strong one,” the caretaker, or the person who learned to survive by minimizing their own needs. Others are navigating coming out later in life, family rejection, religious or cultural stress, or the exhaustion that comes from constantly explaining who they are. At Mindful Healing Counseling, therapy is a space where you don’t have to educate, justify, or defend your identity. You get to simply be you.

Our clinicians provide LGBTQIA+-inclusive, culturally responsive care that honors the full intersection of identity, including race, culture, gender, sexuality, faith, and life experience. We work from a relational, strengths-based approach that prioritizes safety, consent, and collaboration. Therapy with us is not about fixing who you are. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, connected, and at home in yourself.

As a virtual practice, we offer accessible care to individuals throughout Illinois, meeting clients where they are emotionally, culturally, and geographically. We are proud to be part of an LGBTQIA+-affirming business community and deeply value connection, advocacy, and healing that extends beyond the therapy room.
