Great location, cozy rooms, and really nice people! Next step counseling offers in-person/online hybrid therapists in downtown Chicago which fits my schedule perfectly. I have been working with Mackenzie for the past few months. She is an incredible listener and has offered some amazing advice. I am genuinely excited for my upcoming meetings because I know that it is a safe space and that it will end up being productive no matter what. I loving not stressing about always leading the topics because she is able to pickup on subtle issues that deserve more time as we talk. If you are new to therapy like me then this is a wonderful place to start

The owner and clinicians at Next Step Counseling go above and beyond to provide effective, ethical, and conscientious counseling to people who are struggling in various areas of life.

I highly recommend them as one of the premier counseling practices in the city.
