Personalized Individual Therapy for Your Well-Being

Life can feel overwhelming, and stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma can make it hard to feel grounded. You may feel like you’re carrying a weight no one else sees, or struggle to manage emotions that feel too big to handle alone.

Individual therapy at Relational Wellness Therapy is offered virtually for clients in Merrillville, IN (in-person available for Indiana clients from certain providers) and Chicago, IL, providing a safe, compassionate space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.
