I met many very thoughtful clinicians in my time training at Depth. One of the most special qualities you’ll find here is the dedication to advanced training: Many clinicians here are pursuing or have pursued training beyond their graduate degrees, so they can support their clients with deeper nuance, insight, and care.

Depth has a substantial roster of thoughtful, committed clinicians from a wide variety of backgrounds. The practice reliably has therapists with availability, and it is one of the small handful of places in Chicago that accepts Medicaid for psychodynamic therapy. Depth clinicians also work with a variety of PPO plans, and patients I have referred have had positive, meaningful therapy experiences.
