Chicago, IL – March 03, 2025 – Mindful Healing Counseling, a leader in trauma-informed and culturally competent therapy, is expanding its licensed online therapy services across Chicago and the state of Illinois. The practice provides expert virtual therapy for anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues, making high-quality mental health care accessible to individuals across the state from the comfort of home.
“At Mindful Healing Counseling, we believe therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ people—it’s about helping them rediscover their inner strength,” says Aretha Steele, PsyD, Psychologist and founder of Mindful Healing Counseling. “Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and develop the tools they need to thrive.”
Helping People Heal and Grow
Mindful Healing Counseling specializes in anxiety management, trauma recovery, and relationship therapy, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care. Its licensed Illinois therapists provide clients with practical tools to manage stress, break free from negative thought patterns, and heal from past experiences.
“We see many clients who feel trapped in their thoughts and fears. Our approach helps them recognize patterns, challenge negative self-talk, and cultivate healthier coping strategies. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely but to empower individuals to manage it effectively,” adds Dr. Steele.
What Clients Say
