Welcome to ARCH Counseling Center
Whether you’re facing a major life change, struggling with anxiety or depression, or looking to strengthen your relationships, ARCH Counseling Center offers in-person and telehealth therapy in Chicago to help you better understand what you’re experiencing and make meaningful changes in your life.
ABOUT US
Evidence-Based Care. Human Connection
At ARCH Counseling Center, we believe that mental health care should be thoughtful, collaborative, and responsive to the unique experiences of each person we serve. Seeking support is not always easy, and our goal is to provide a space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.
ARCH Counseling Center offers in-person and telehealth therapy in Chicago for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Our clinicians work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, identity exploration, and stress related to work, school, and family life.
Located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, we are committed to providing high-quality mental health services that are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in evidence-based care.
Our name, ARCH, reflects the values that guide our work:
Acceptance
We recognize that every person brings a unique set of experiences, identities, strengths, and challenges into therapy. Our goal is to create an environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment.
Recovery
Recovery looks different for everyone. Whether you are managing a mental health condition, navigating a major life transition, or working through the effects of trauma, our clinicians help clients identify goals, develop coping strategies, and build meaningful change over time.
Compassion
We believe effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. Our clinicians approach each client with empathy, curiosity, and respect, creating space for honest conversations and collaborative problem-solving.
Healing
Healing is not about eliminating difficult emotions; it is about developing a healthier relationship with yourself, others, and the challenges you face. Through evidence-based care, we support clients in building insight, strengthening resilience, and improving overall well-being.
We are proud to be able to offer services in the following languages:
English, Afrikaans, American Sign Language, Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Spanish, Telugu, and Yoruba.
Flexible Options
Quality Care, Within Reach
Understanding Medicaid and insurance coverage for mental health services can be overwhelming. We’ve created resources and blog posts to help explain benefits, coverage, and common questions so you can more easily access the care you need.
OUR SERVICES
Mental Health Services for Every Stage of Life
Individual Adult Therapy
Therapy is not only for times of crisis. Many adults seek therapy to better understand themselves, improve relationships, manage stress, address mental health concerns, or navigate major life changes. Therapy can provide support, perspective, and practical tools for managing challenges and creating meaningful change.
Couple's Therapy
Couples therapy can help partners better understand one another, improve communication, and address recurring patterns of conflict. Whether a couple is navigating relationship stress, life transitions, trust concerns, differences in values, or difficulties with intimacy, therapy provides a structured space to explore challenges and work toward shared goals.
Family Therapy
Family therapy helps families address challenges that affect communication, relationships, and daily functioning. Whether a family is navigating conflict, behavioral concerns, parenting challenges, grief, divorce, blended family dynamics, or a major life transition, therapy provides a space to better understand one another, strengthen communication, and work together toward meaningful solutions.
Children's Therapy
Children experience stress, anxiety, grief, behavioral challenges, family changes, and emotional difficulties just as adults do. Therapy can help children understand and express their emotions, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate challenges at home, school, and in their communities.
Adolescents/Teens Therapy
Adolescence can bring new challenges related to identity, friendships, family relationships, school, social pressures, and increasing independence. Many teens also experience anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, or difficulty managing strong emotions. Therapy provides a space for adolescents to explore these experiences, develop healthy coping skills, improve communication, and receive support during an important stage of development.
