Mobilizing for mental health

The Chicago Therapy Collective (CTC) was born from the experiences of q***r therapists and their intimate awareness that the struggles of q***r folks, especially transgender/gender non-conforming (T/GNC) folks and TQPOC (Trans and Q***r People of Color), are a result of systemic, intersecting injustices that need to be addressed outside of therapy and within the community.

CTC is now comprised of a network of community organizers, artists, therapists, educators, business leaders and more striving to address these injustices and lift up our most marginalized siblings by mobilizing to create safe, just, and inclusive Chicago neighborhoods through art, education, and advocacy initiatives.
