At Lincoln Park Psychology, therapy starts with you: your story, your background, your values. Every treatment plan is tailored, goal-focused, and built around real progress.

​

But therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. Our clinicians bring genuine warmth and humor to the room, creating real connection that makes sessions feel less like an appointment and more like time with someone in your corner.

​

We treat a wide range of concerns, including mood dysregulation, depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurodiversity, and more with a strength-based approach that fits you, not the other way around. And everyone is welcome here, regardless of culture, religion, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, or belief system.

Relationships sound simple: a connection between two people. But humans are layered, and those layers show up in how we love, argue, attach, and let go. Maybe you keep hitting the same wall in relationships. Maybe a breakup hit harder than you expected. Maybe you've felt like you don't quite fit into social groups, or that social cues just don't come naturally.

​

Our clinicians help you look at your patterns; how you set boundaries, what triggers you, and how well you're actually meeting your own needs, so you can build connections that feel steadier and more genuine.

​

We also work with adults on the Autism Spectrum, helping navigate the frustration that can come with wanting connection and not always finding an easy path to it. And for some clients, group therapy focused on relationships and social awareness is part of the plan.

We recognize that it can take tremendous effort to live authentically within a system of erasure and discrimination. LPP acknowledges that both sexual orientation and gender identity exist on spectrums with infinite expressions. We acknowledge that this is a time of shifting narratives around gender and sexuality, and that many people are arriving at new and deeper understanding of themselves. We believe that every person has the potential to need or want mental health care in their lifetime, and that it has been difficult in the past for LGBTQIA+ clients to find care that is respectful, and acknowledges their identities and lived experiences. We strive to co-create an environment for healing and emotional growth that allows each person to define how they wish to engage in relationships with others, and set therapeutic goals that align with what they want for the future.

You belong here.

Couples therapy (sometimes called marriage or relationship counseling) helps partners work through conflict, understand perspectives, find respect and reconnect. Our clinicians act as a neutral, supportive third party, helping you communicate more honestly, become more open to each other's experiences, and build healthier patterns together.

​

The goal isn't just to get through the hard conversations. It's to deepen emotional intimacy, strengthen your connection, and leave you both with real tools for navigating whatever comes next.

It's common to feel isolated in what we're going through, as though our struggles are uniquely our own. Group therapy offers a structured opportunity to connect with others facing similar concerns, fostering a sense of belonging while providing multiple perspectives on shared challenges.

​

Some groups are process-oriented, centered on sharing experiences, thoughts, and emotions within a safe and supportive environment. Others are psychoeducational, focused on building specific skills such as conflict resolution, self-esteem, or cognitive restructuring. And don't forget our FAMOUS Social Groups using Dungeons & Dragons!

Across all formats, group therapy is a collaborative approach that supports personal growth, strengthens interpersonal skills, and builds a network of support for members on their path toward improved mental and emotional well-being.​

Psychological testing for adults is beneficial because it helps accurately assess psychological strengths, weaknesses, and challenges. It aids in diagnosing mental health conditions, guiding treatment plans, and increasing self-awareness. It also assists in making informed career and educational choices and monitoring progress over time. Our assessments are administered and interpreted by our highly trained Psychologists and Postdoctoral Fellows who provide valuable insights to support individuals in understanding themselves better and addressing their psychological needs effectively.

Lincoln Park Psychology not only services children and adolescents, but also adults who identify on the Autism Spectrum. It is not uncommon for individuals to suspect neurodiversity in adulthood, or to have been recently diagnosed as part of the Autism Spectrum. Our clinicians work with you to identify strengths, increase self-awareness, reduce stress, enhance relationships, increase self-acceptance, as well as set attainable goals for building a positive sense of self. We aim to empower individuals to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives while embracing their unique neurodiversity.

​

We are also very excited to offer assessments to test for levels of neurodiversity and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
