Susan Killelea
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Sex Therapist
Exploration of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression are journeys that often continues after "coming out" or personally acknowledging your orientation and identity. You may want help in defining new feelings, support in affirming your gender, or guidance in informing others of changes. Therapy may help you learn more about your sexual and romantic attractions, relationship wants and needs.

Mind Body Connections
Counselor/Therapist
Identifying as LGBT can have unfortunate negative implications. We will help you understand how your family of origin, religion and other stressors may have caused you harm. We will help you embrace your true identity with support from professionals who know this from the inside-out.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You deserve a therapist who gets it. Not one who needs you to educate them, not one who treats your identity as the problem to be solved, not one who's "fine with it" but clearly uncomfortable. Our clinicians provide LGBTQ+ affirming care that goes deeper than surface-level acceptance. We understand the specific stressors you navigate: family rejection or tension, coming out at different life stages, discrimination, internalized messages you're still untangling, relationships that don't fit the scripts you were handed. You don't have to translate your experience here. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
