Improve your mental health with psychotherapy in Chicago.
Anger
Anger is a basic emotion that helps us know when something is wrong, when something has hurt us, or when something threatens our safety.
Anxiety
The causes of anxiety may be conscious or unconscious. Your experience might include distractedness, confusion, trouble thinking, anticipated rejection or abandonment, a sense of being lost, overwhelmed, or engulfed, and intense panic.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which a counseling therapist helps partners in a romantic relationship gain insight into underlying tensions, conflicts or frustrations in order to resolve problems and improve overall relationship satisfaction.
dEPRESSION
Depression is like a fever: when you have a fever it is a sign your body is fighting infection. When you are experiencing depression symptoms, it is your mind’s attempt to cope with challenges in your life. Finding a Chicago therapist for depression is the first step to healing — Depth Counseling can help.
Grief
When we lose something, we often feel a sense of hurt. Hurt lets us know that what we lost was meaningful or important. Although the hurt can fade with time, sometimes loss leaves us feeling empty or broken. These feelings of grief can keep us from living the life we want or need.
Group Therapy
Group psychotherapy involves several patients gathering together with a therapist to talk, support one another, and share a common experience in a safe setting.
LGBTQia+
Although sexual orientation or gender identity might not be a source of distress, many people do find that the social stigma of living as a minority can increase stress, worry, and trauma responses. The internalization of fear and negative judgment can amplify and reinforce external social pressures, creating intense suffering.
parenting
Henry Ward Beecher once said that “we never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.” Parents give everything to their families, and yet sometimes there is struggle and turmoil.
premarital counseling
When your relationship is getting serious, and it seems like marriage is on the horizon, it is to be expected that you and your partner will experience tensions, and perhaps some new problems, which should be addressed before embarking on your life together.
Psychosis & Extreme States
While many mental health professionals consider “psychosis” to be a severe mental illness, we consider psychosis — and related experiences of crises or extreme states — to be a particular structure that describes an experience or a way of being in the world.
trauma
When we are physically harmed, our bodies go through a process of repair and restructuring. Bones fuse back together, cuts coagulate and scab, and bruises swell. Although our bodies are quite good at healing themselves over time, some injuries tend to endure.

On Psychoanalysis and Horror
Richard Reinhardt
Apropos a recent article he co-authored with Leah Gipson titled “Against Diagnosing the Spirit: A Note on the Clinic of Spirit Possession,” and recently published in Penumbr(a), Depth Counseling clinician Richard Reinhardt discusses how, in the course of a psychoanalysis, that which once seemed horrifying might come to be welcomed as beautiful.
A Poetics of the Drive: Freud, Lacan, Moths and Poetry
February 13, 2023 | 10am CST
To explore a poetics of the drive, Dr. Annie G. Rogers brings to her talk original prints of moths and lines of poetry that grew out of her daily practice of writing and drawing during the the Covid pandemic—alongside her clinical practice as an analyst—over a period of four months.
Depressive Personality Styles: an In-Depth Discussion
Kathryn Levison, BA
One of the most widely studied personality styles, no discourse on a depressive personality’s approach to coping with life can be all-inclusive. Even author and psychoanalyst Nancy McWilliams wrote twice as much on depression as all the other chapters in her reference text, Psychoanalytic diagnosis. Therefore, while this writing is packed with information, the data on depression can be daunting. Still, Kathryn Levison strives to present the most apropos data along with plenty of resources and references for further exploration of depression and depressive personalities.
