Breakup Therapy · Online throughout Illinois
Therapy for breakups and heartbreak.
A breakup can upend your routines, your friendships, your plans and the way you see yourself. It's one of the most common reasons young adults reach out for therapy, and it deserves real attention. We offer online breakup therapy for clients in Chicago and throughout Illinois.
What you might be dealing with
Every breakup is different, and there's no right way to feel.
- Grief, loneliness or shock
- Rumination about what went wrong
- Checking an ex's social media
- Infidelity and broken trust
- Questioning your self-worth
- Anxiety about dating again
How therapy can help
Sessions give you room to grieve and to make sense of what happened. We can look at relationship and attachment patterns, work on self-esteem and coping, and use CBT and ACT-based tools for rumination. When you're ready, therapy can also help you think about what you want in future relationships.
