Individual, Adolescent, and Couples Therapy in Chicago

We help adolescents and adults heal trauma, anxiety, and relationship wounds so they can build secure, meaningful lives.

Our Approach: Trauma-Informed, Identity-Affirming Therapy in Chicago (Loop & Virtual)

At Gemstone Wellness, we provide affirming care for individuals, couples, and non-traditional relationships. Our licensed therapists specialize in anxiety, trauma, grief, identity exploration, depression and relationship support, using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and creative therapies.

As a women, queer, and Latina-owned practice in Chicago, we are committed to creating spaces that are anti-racist, sex-positive, and fully affirming of your identity.

We offer secure online therapy across Illinois and in-person sessions in Chicago, with Blue Cross and Aetna PPO insurance accepted.

EMDR Therapy

We help people use EMDR to reprocess distressing memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge or shape present-day reactions.

Trauma Therapy

We help individuals heal from trauma by gently working through painful experiences and restoring a sense of safety, stability, and empowerment.
