As an LGBTQ+ psychotherapy practice, increasing access to affirming mental health services is very important to us. That’s why we fully support the use of telehealth / online video therapy (subject to your health insurance provider’s policies). Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many clients and situations. Telehealth helps us support clients in Illinois who live outside the Downtown and Andersonville areas of Chicago, and those who are otherwise unable to meet in-person at our offices.
IntraSpectrum Counseling unequivocally denounces the recent surge in anti-transgender rhetoric and the scapegoating of transgender people in the aftermath of recent shootings. Such rhetoric is baseless and deeply harmful, fostering stigma, discrimination, and potential violence against an already marginalized community. We stand firmly with transgender and nonbinary individuals, and reaffirm our commitment to providing affirming, compassionate, and inclusive care. We urge community leaders, media outlets, and the public to reject misinformation and prejudice, and to work collectively toward equity, dignity, and justice for all people.
