Embody and Mind Collective is a space for deep healing. Each of the practitioners are gifted clinicians trained in a variety of modalities so each client can find a good fit for their needs.
Embody + Mind Collective is one of my "go-to" referrals in the City of Chicago. Experts with trauma, they use body-based modalities that are effective and not retraumatizing. I know that my referrals will be in good hands at Embody + Mind.
Incredible practice. A calm, kind and welcoming safe space. An environment where you feel supported, comfortable and heard.
Tesa and her team are an invaluable resource for somatic-based therapy, as well as pre- and perinatal trauma. I have experienced genuine warmth and intentionality from them, and I am so grateful to have them as a trusted option for referrals and consultation. Their thoughtful, client-centered approach is a gift to the community!

Tesa is an amazing therapist. She is what a therapist should be. Always met me where I was and extremely patient, compassionate and kind. So incredibly calming when talking about very heavy issues. Highly recommend.
