Schaumburg Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Karissa Tobey

Do you find yourself struggling with shame or anxiety that people will reject you if they knew who you are? Do you feel depressed and anxious because you feel like you are emotionally starving, but terrified the cost to yourself or others is too great? Whether you identify with these feelings because of codependency, gender incongruence, or social anxiety, I don't want you to hold those struggles alone. I want to sit with you and empower you to take the steps to value a beautiful person: you.

Osvaldo Alcaraz

Maybe you’ve been exploring your queerness, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or facing internal conflict between how you identify and its intersectionality with your familial, cultural, and/or religious values. Perhaps you’ve experienced religious trauma and are looking to incorporate religion back into your life. No matter what you find yourself navigating, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m glad you found me.

Anna Fredrick

Are you going through a life transition and need support with managing all the changes going on in your life? That might be changes in school, work, family, parenting or relationships. Or even a quarter-life crisis spent navigating new and old relationships. I'm here to support you in processing these changes as well as recognizing your own strengths to draw from during periods of change. I believe that everyone needs someone to support them - and challenge them - to get through these times.

Mia Dal Santo

Are you someone who is looking for help or support in your non-traditional relationship structure or sexuality? Are you struggling to feel seen or heard in these identities? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections with others are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know. I desire to work with people who are seeking to flesh out their sense of identity and strengths, and through doing so, relate to others more authentically and skillfully.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Amy Bicknell

When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are suffering and struggling to show up. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

Ren Grabert

I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, kinky, and neurodivergent folks. As a chronically ill person myself, I love helping folks to manage chronic illness/pain and self-advocate within healthcare systems. My areas of focus include helping people to build self-esteem and self-efficacy, to build tools to navigate neurodivergence in adulthood, and to identify core beliefs and needs so that they can live life more authentically.

Brenda Reavis

My clients tend to be Black and Brown folx, the LGBTQIA community, and college students, though individuals from all walks of life are welcome into my therapy space. Some of my specialties include working with race-related stress and trauma, relationship concerns, building self-esteem and self-confidence, reconnecting to ancestral wisdom, and healing from past traumas. Clients who struggle with difficult families, relational anxieties, and self-betrayal/mistrust often find their way to me.

Online Therapy

Hannah Rosenblatt

I work with clients who are highly driven, goal-oriented, and set exceptionally high standards for themselves. Many of them find themselves in a constant cycle of going above and beyond for others, often at the expense of their own needs. Together, we explore the unique and valid reasons behind these patterns and how they can show up differently in both personal and professional environments.

Online Therapy

Christopher Manvel

A meaningful, authentic client-therapist relationship is of utmost importance to me and I strive to create safe and welcoming spaces for all by fostering an environment of empathy, openness and honesty. Clients who see me receive compassionate care without negative judgment, creating opportunities to make meaning of the events of their lives. My ideal clients are queer individuals seeking support in navigating religious trauma and reconciling issues of faith and sexuality.

The majority of my professional career has been focused on BIPOC individuals, people on the LGBTQIA2+ spectrum, young people who were considered “at-risk” of high school drop-out, professionals, artists, and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents alike.
