Counseling recs needed in Chicago

April 3, 2019 10:40 AM

All right, so I guess I can't do this shit on my own anymore. Looking for recs for a therapist/counselor in Chicago. All recommendations welcome, more specifics under the fold!

I've only had one positive therapy experience in the past, but that practitioner has since retired, so I'm looking for someone new.

Needs:
-Public transit accessible OR able to do remote/online sessions
-just...not a dickhead. I've used professional databases to find therapists in the past and ended up with a number of highly-credentialed, professionally-well-regarded total asshole therapists. This is why I'm looking for personal recs.

Wants:
-Ideally, some evening hours. I don't have paid time off and getting anywhere in the morning/middle of the day is very challenging. BUT, if someone is really good, I'll just figure out how to make it work.
-Grief counseling experience preferable but that doesn't have to be their Main Deal

Not worried about insurance; my insurance is a byzantine nightmare and I'll just pay out of pocket until I can't.

Live Oak. Specific recs, from me and people I know: Misty Major, Shay Reeves, Michael Jones, but generally recommended across the board. Multiple locations across the city, and pretty flexible on hours, altho you may have to change locations.
