I have a special connection to these populations as an Air Force brat, Air Force Veteran, and Air Force Spouse - quite literally not a day of my life untouched by the military! I have more than 20 years' experience working with children, youth, families and couples around their life challenges and transitions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chicago
Finding the right family therapist in Chicago starts with identifying what your family is working through. Family therapy can address a range of concerns — from communication breakdowns and parenting disagreements to adjusting after a divorce, blending households, or supporting a family member living with anxiety or depression. A licensed provider such as an LMFT, LCPC, or psychologist with training in family systems can help your family build stronger patterns together.
Chicago is home to thousands of mental health providers, which can make the search feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most — whether that's a provider who works with blended families, offers evening availability, or has experience with adolescents. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and whether they might be a good match for your family.
Family therapy in Chicago can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a family therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
