Clinical Associate

About Us

We are a growing group therapy practice in Chicago, IL and Northwest Indiana skilled in the practice of individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy. Embody + Mind Collective therapeutic framework centers around combining powerful healing practices that integrate both body and mind for complete, holistic treatment that helps people heal their traumas and creates a positive impact for future generations. We specialize in perinatal and reproductive mental health and body-centered approaches to healing trauma. Our therapists are trained in Somatic Experiencing and perinatal mental health.

The mission of Embody + Mind Collective is to provide a safe and therapeutic space to help our clients heal from developmental trauma and prevent it from being passed down generationally. Whether we are working with people who are currently parents, looking to become parents, or have no present interest in caregiving, we are mindful of the impact that past trauma has on future individuals and generations, as well as our current selves. We specialize in perinatal mental health and are particularly intrigued by the cross-section of the perinatal population and early developmental trauma, both in healing it and preventing it. We provide confidential and specialized treatment for individuals and family systems wanting to heal from their pasts and enhance their present lives.
