About Best Therapies

Best Therapies is a friendly, fun, and irreverent group practice with an established history in Chicagoland. As a practice with many clinicians in the queer, consensual non-monogamy and/or kink communities we are actively dedicated to providing high quality care both inside and outside of those communities.

We work to create a collaborative, supportive environment that centers growth and career development, in addition to providing excellent client care. Historically, working in private practice could be an isolating experience. At Best Therapies, we work to counteract that potential by creating opportunities to engage with community and connection between clinicians in both clinical and non-clinical settings.
