Lincoln Highway, and Chicago’s Oak Lawn neighborhood at 8547 S. Cicero Avenue. The practice was founded by Dr. Aretha Steele, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist whose clinical focus centers on women, mothers, anxiety, and trauma. All sessions are delivered via telehealth, making the practice accessible to clients across the state regardless of location.

The clinical team includes six licensed therapists. Briana Booker, LSW, focuses on anxiety, overthinking, and burnout. Samreen Ahmed, LSW, works with women navigating anxiety, trauma, and nervous system healing. Therin Slayton, PsyD, provides LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodivergent-focused care for adults with ADHD and autism. Summer Stewart, PsyD, specializes in BIPOC professionals dealing with anxiety, burnout, and trauma. Fabiola Felix, MSW, works with first-generation and Latinx adults and teens around anxiety and family boundaries.

Services span individual therapy, couples counseling, and teen therapy. Areas addressed include anxiety, high-functioning anxiety, trauma, stress and burnout, depression, ADHD, life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum support, family conflict, and relationship challenges. Therapeutic modalities integrated across the team include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and nervous system-focused approaches.

A stated priority of the practice is providing culturally affirming care, with a specific focus on BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and first-generation clients. This emphasis shapes both clinician selection and the therapeutic modalities offered, integrating culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and relational approaches throughout care delivery. The practice accepts BCBS PPO Illinois, Blue Choice PPO, and Aetna PPO insurance plans and verifies benefits before the first session. Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted.
