We believe mental health care should be accessible to all. That’s why our counseling centers authentic connection, individualized treatment, and the removal of systemic barriers that limit access to care.
At Infinite Possibilities we provide inclusive, high quality mental health services to adolescents and emerging adults from Black and Brown communities in the Chicago-land area. These services are offered at an affordable rate and/or at no cost to our participants.
 As a result, we offer the gold standard in therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Liberation Therapy, and more.
Potential participants apply to the IPP program based on their financial need. We offer 1:1 counseling services, mental health workshops, psycho education groups, support groups, skill-based groups, and trainings to other mental health professionals.
Once accepted, participants are guaranteed up to two years of free or low-cost individual therapy and engage in 6-month increment reviews to follow progress toward their treatment goals. Therapists also participate in surveys to review clinical recommendations and advocate for auxiliary support services (i.e. housing, resume coaching, etc). This process helps to ensure that participants are able to make the most use of their dedicated time in therapy.
Throughout much of American history, Black and Brown communities have endured harm that has led to generational trauma, challenges in managing mental health, and a deep-seated distrust of various systems. We acknowledge that there are systems in place that have contributed to the harm against these intentionally marginalized populations. We are committed to working towards positive change and improvement.
