About Us

Positive Regard Therapy (PRT) is a team of mental health professionals who are committed to treating clients with “unconditional positive regard.” This means that we try our best to meet clients where they are, understand their experiences and help them meet their goals without judgement. PRT serves clients in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago. Our therapists specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, working with college students & young adults, men’s issues and sex-positive counseling.

In addition, PRT offers a clinical training program for graduate-level pre-licensed therapists. As part of this program, we accept Aetna, BCBS PPO, Cigna and offer reduced rate / sliding fee sessions starting at $30. Seeing an pre-licensed therapist for a reduced rate, allows pre-licensed therapists to earn the hours they need for their program, and can be especially helpful for those who are unemployed, underemployed or do not have adequate health insurance.

Our therapists are seeing clients in-person at our Andersonville office or via telehealth.

To schedule a first session or get more information, please email hello@positiveregard.co or call our main office line at 773.570.2829.
