Wilmette Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Margot Torossian

I work with women who feel unheard, disconnected, or constrained by past experiences and societal expectations. If you struggle with self-doubt, relationships, intimacy, or reclaiming your desires, I offer a warm, supportive space to explore, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll help you find your voice, embrace your needs, and build fulfilling, empowered connections.

Osvaldo Alcaraz

Maybe you’ve been exploring your queerness, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or facing internal conflict between how you identify and its intersectionality with your familial, cultural, and/or religious values. Perhaps you’ve experienced religious trauma and are looking to incorporate religion back into your life. No matter what you find yourself navigating, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m glad you found me.

Dale Roberson

My experience with clients tend to be adults between the ages of 18-65, across the racial, gender, and sexual orientation spectrum; I work with individuals, couples, and occasionally facilitate a DBT Skills Group. I hold space for those who’ve felt like outsiders—whether due to trauma, race, queerness, or a combination of underserved or historically excluded identities. As a queer, kinky, poly Black man, my own lived experience brings an extra layer of understanding to my work.

Dani Sullivan

My clients come from far & wide, but what they all have in common is that despite their fears, they work towards connection, growth & presence. I am a queer inclusive and trauma focused therapist who specializes in holding space for individuals wanting to break patterns of fear and learn self compassion. I specialize in serving individuals healing from trauma, LGBTQIA+ folks, & anyone ready to make real, sustainable changes in their life.

Laura Kelly

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or misunderstood? If so, I would love to offer you a comfortable (virtual) space in which to get support. I enjoy working with people who are exploring neurodivergence (particularly autism and ADHD), gender identity, sexual orientation, or body image. I also connect well with people who are experiencing major life changes, chronic health conditions, or who are struggling with relationships and boundaries.

Sam Rustum

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety and perfectionism, feeling paralyzed by the pressure to get everything right? You may deal with a relentless inner critic that constantly makes you question your abilities and decisions, leaving you feeling like an imposter despite your accomplishments.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Our clients present with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image concerns, OCD, relationship challenges, navigating life transitions, immigration/first generation experiences, identity exploration, and issues related to neurodivergence.

Jennifer Macias

I help clients work through PTSD, anxiety, executive dysfunction, relationship struggles, family dynamics, self esteem, and kink and poly relationship issues. I like using warmth, compassion, curiosity, humor, and a lot of hand gestures to connect with my clients and establish a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship.

I love working with gender diverse adolescents, queer and questioning folks, and young adults navigating life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and disconnected from their communities.

My primary specialization is in working with folks who are part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I love working with trans, queer, nonbinary and gender expansive community, students, disabled people, & non-monogamous.

Amy Bicknell

When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are struggling. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

Anya Ross

Do you notice repetitive patterns of thoughts, feelings, or actions in your life that cause distress? Does your "best you" feel fleetingly accessible, if at all? My only request of clients who work with me is that they continually invest in understanding themselves better and extending curiosity to their innermost parts. Together, we'll collaborate with curiosity and compassion to investigate and appreciate the challenges, insights, and triumphs of your ongoing story.

Online Therapy

Sylvester Merritt

My emphases are addressing mental health of marginalized groups, and understanding how culture should be respected and acknowledged in the therapeutic space. As I continue to work on obtaining my doctorate in psychology, my interventions and approach to treatment informs me how to customize the therapeutic space for each client and praise our differences while promoting inner healing. Creating emotional space and showing the power of it helps my clients narrate their lives once more.

Abbey Monsalud

I'm a decolonial art therapist who loves to work with creative adults who are navigating identity, neurodivergence, and relationship issues.

Noopur Shah

My clients are vibrant folks; queer and trans kids/adults of color.

Mia Dal Santo

Are you someone who is looking for help or support in your non-traditional relationship structure or sexuality? Are you struggling to feel seen or heard in these identities? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections with others are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know. I desire to work with people who are seeking to flesh out their sense of identity and strengths, and through doing so, relate to others more authentically and skillfully.

Online Therapy

Lara Wolff

I enjoy working with creatives, spiritual seekers and the spiritually-wounded, those struggling with grief and loss, other therapists, people coping with C-PTSD, and those who simply want to become more of who they are meant to be. My clients tend to be open to approaching therapy more experientially and are interested in doing depth work vs. single-issue work.

Ana Anaya

Whether navigating the complexities of adolescence, the challenges of adult life, or the dynamics of a relationship, I am committed to guiding clients toward healing and well-being.

Andrew Sutherland

Therapy can be helpful as you navigate life’s everyday stressors, a difficult part of your history, past or ongoing trauma, or any feelings or circumstances that cause you pain or suffering. Therapy can also help you learn self-trust, build loving relationships, find ease in your mind and body, and move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

Victoria Dubai

Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back.
