"Good therapy doesn't require a waiting room."

  • Understanding the Option

Getting to an office isn’t always realistic, and it shouldn’t be the reason you don’t get support.

Between work, kids, a packed schedule, or just not wanting to commute for a 55-minute session, in-person therapy isn’t always practical. Online therapy gives you the same quality of care without that barrier.

You get matched with a therapist the same way you would in person, specialty for specialty, and meet through a secure, HIPAA compliant video platform.

Who Benefits Most from Online Therapy

You will benefit if:
  • Getting to an office isn't realistic with your schedule or location
  • You're more comfortable opening up from a familiar space
  • You want therapy that fits around work, kids, or other commitments
  • You're already working with an Urban Wellness therapist and prefer virtual sessions
  • You live outside easy driving distance from our locations but still want Illinois-based care
You might not be ready yet if:
  • You need in-person, in-office support for safety reasons.
  • We'll help you find the right level of care.

If you're in crisis, we recommend outpatient services at a local program first. For substance concerns, see our Addiction page.

— we'll make sure you get the right support.
