Change can feel scary, even when we know it might be good for us.

At Concentric, we offer support not only through our team of therapists, who are here to meet you wherever you are, but also through our Intake Team, who can help answer your questions and guide you through the process.

We understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating. Your healing is a journey that deserves to be heard, met with compassion, and supported with tailored care.

So often, neurodivergence is framed as a deficit, when in reality it reflects a difference in processing and the unique ways each of us can experience the world. What you were told is a flaw might actually be a different way of processing the world. Concentric celebrates these differences and aims to bring awareness to how what is commonly labeled as a deficit is, instead, simply a difference.

If you are a loved one is looking to explore these differences in therapy, reach out to us at contact@concentricchicago.com

Hormonal life stages can have real effects on mental health.
Conditions like PMDD, postpartum depression, and mood changes during perimenopause and menopause affect millions of people. Yet these experiences are often misunderstood, minimized, or dismissed.

These experiences are real.

Valentine’s Day may be over, but strong relationships are built in the small moments. The Gottman Method The Gottman Institute reminds us that expressing admiration, appreciation, and affection in everyday ways creates lasting connections. It is not grand gestures that sustain a partnership, but consistent acts of kindness, warmth, and intentional care. Small actions that occur often and over time can strengthen, repair, and deepen satisfaction.

If you are looking for support in building a more connected and resilient relationship, reach out to info@concentriccounseling.com to learn more about our Gottman-trained couples therapists or explore our couples intensives.

At Concentric, we celebrate Black History Month by honoring the legacy of healing, resilience, and innovation led by the Black community, while continuing to name and challenge the systemic barriers that limit access to mental health care. We recognize over 100 years of advocacy that has shaped policy, expanded health care, and protected the rights of all people. Therapy must be a space where culture is centered, experiences are believed, and Black mental health is supported every day.

Over the weekend, we bid farewell and had one last hurrah at Alarmist Brewing & Taproom. It’s tough to see a local business close its doors. Wishing nothing but the best for the owner and people who worked there.

When the world feels heavy and helplessness starts to settle in, taking action can offer a way forward. Community care is one of the most powerful ways we create safety and support for one another.

In late December, Jennifer Karolak Larson, the Founder of Concentric attended a fundraising event to support three wonderful organizations. This event was hosted by Two Fields Over and Van Lawless with food provided by La Principal. The gathering was deeply inspiring, and as a result, Concentric also chose to make additional donations to the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Connections for the Homeless.

We believe in stepping toward care, especially when pain feels overwhelming. Concentric Counseling & Consulting is here to hold space for your grief, your fear, and your hope.
