Welcome to Leap Therapy Chicago!
Take the opportunity to move forward in your relationships or mental health goals.
Life’s Journey
We spend a lot of time thinking about changes that are needed but not nearly as much time doing the work to actually make those changes stick.
Partnering with a thoughtful and inclusive therapist can make all the difference in deliberately moving through the plot twists of life.

In-Person, Virtual or Hybrid
We see clients via the modality that is most convenient and best suited for their therapy needs. This might be in-person at our Ravenswood location in Chicago, from the comfort of your home via telehealth, or a mix of both in-person and virtual sessions.
Telehealth appointments are available to anyone residing in the State of Illinois via secure HIPAA-compliant video sessions.
