 FAQs

  • We anticipate ActiveMind Counseling will be able to start taking clients late Fall 2025. We will update our page when booking is open.

  • We anticipate being in-network with major providers in the Chicago area. If we are not in-network with your insurance, you may have out-of-network benefits that apply.

  • We see children on a case-by-case basis. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if ActiveMind is the right fit. We do not see children for school refusal or executive functioning (ADHD).

  • Our clinicians are licensed in Illinois therefore all clients must be in Illinois to receive services. We are hoping to open an office in Evanston/Skokie for in-person appointments.
