Individual Therapy

🌿 Individual Therapy in Chicago & Across Illinois

Rediscover your self, safely and slowly.

At Gemstone Wellness, individual therapy is a space to breathe, untangle, and come home to yourself. Whether you’re carrying the weight of past trauma, living with persistent anxiety or depression, or simply navigating the complexity of being human in this world, we meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or rush.

Our therapists are trained in both evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches, but we’re not just here to “fix symptoms.” We’re here to understand your story. Your patterns. Your pain. Your strengths. Therapy with us is not about performance or perfection- it’s about making room for your full experience, and doing so with someone you trust.

Many of our clients come to us after feeling unseen or misunderstood in other therapy spaces. Some have felt pathologized. Others are trying therapy for the first time and want to know it can actually feel human. At Gemstone, we emphasize fit- not just availability. We offer thoughtful chemistry calls to help you find a therapist you truly connect with.

We work with adults navigating:

  • Anxiety and overthinking

  • Depression and emotional numbness

  • Complex, chronic, or childhood trauma

  • Grief and life transitions

  • Identity exploration and self-worth

  • Family and relationship challenges

  • Religious trauma and existential pain

  • Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity)

  • Substance use and harm reduction goals

We also believe therapy is not just for crises- it’s for growth, reflection, healing, and clarity. Whether you’re rebuilding after something difficult or deepening into your next chapter, we are here for the slow, beautiful work.

🧠 What Makes Our Approach Different

Our team centers cultural humility, trauma-informed care, and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming practices. We’re not afraid to sit with the hard stuff, and we’ll never reduce you to a diagnosis or symptom checklist. We believe in long-term, relational therapy that evolves with you.

We offer therapy in our downtown Chicago office (near Jackson & Dearborn) and statewide through secure telehealth. Therapy is available in English and Spanish. We accept Blue Cross and Aetna PPO plans and offer superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
