At Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy, we are a collaborative group of independent Chicago therapists who are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals, couples, families, and groups to achieve long-lasting change. We believe that each person has the capacity to understand themselves better and feel better. Our mission is to empower our clients to gain self-awareness, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

Our Philosophy

We, the therapists at Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy, are committed to providing inclusive, innovative, thoughtful, and compassionate care. We believe that everyone has the potential to change their relationships to themselves and others. We strive to understand the unconscious emotional patterns that underlie our clients' struggles and work together to uncover and shift these patterns. Our flexible approach combines the strengths of different therapy modalities, allowing us to match our clients with the right therapist for their unique needs.

Our Work

We work with clients from diverse backgrounds, identities, and levels of functioning. Our collaborative group structure enables each therapist to grow and flourish, while promoting long-standing commitment to our shared mission. We support and challenge each other to expand our perspectives and deepen our work. Our flexible approach allows us to adapt to the unique needs of each client, leveraging the strengths of different therapy approaches.

Our comprehensive services include psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mind-Body focused therapies, and EMDR. Our services cater to adults, couples, children, and adolescents, as well as families and groups.

Our Commitment

At Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy, we are committed to championing the rights of all races, cultures, and identity groups. We strive to cultivate an attitude of cultural humility by examining our own beliefs and cultural identities. We believe that each client is an expert on their own life and are always open to learning what we do not know. Our goal is to empower our clients to take an active role in their healing journey.
