Catalyst Clinical Group – Affirming Therapy

Catalyst Clinical Group (based out of Chicago) has a LGBTQ+ focus, and here they explain in their own words their practice philosophy, "our psychotherapists have been specifically trained to work with the LGBTQ community, which offers our patients knowledgeable, affirming and safe treatment. Coping with discrimination and oppression, coming out to one’s family, and sorting out an “authentic” sense of self in the face of social expectations and pressures can lead to higher levels of depression, anxiety, substance use, and other mental health concerns for the LGBTQIA+ community, which is why we believe it's important so have specialized training that can speak to these unique challenges." They offer in person and virtual telehealth sessions, and they also accept Medicaid which is rare in many therapy practices. Offers: Telehealth, Accepts: Medicaid
