Chicago Loop Behavioral Health Services

Our services are designed to support your mental health needs and goals.

We do this through offering a variety of services, including:

Intensive Group Therapy: In group therapy, you will be paired with people who have similar experiences, in order to discuss issues and feelings in a round table fashion. Group therapy is over-seen by a trained staff member, and can help you feel less alone in your experience.
Individual Therapy: Individual therapy is your one-on-one time with a clinician to unburden yourself. This type of therapy can help you understand and contextualize patterns within your experiences or thoughts, in order to help you manage and overcome your situations or feelings.
