About Us

If you are in crisis, get immediate help: Call 911

We are a 501 c 3 organization rooted in the service we feel to give back and look out for our fellow brothers and sisters. At TCFMH, our doctors and clinical therapists go into communities in Chicago that are underserved and lacking resources. We are motivated by our desire to see a more equitable landscape in general, and we offer our services in the form of mental health care. Our aim is to provide a high quality care experience in areas where there is a huge need, and hardly any options, for mental health care. Our clinicians are embedded in the community, taking away one of the many barriers communities face: accessibility. We know that at least 98% of our patient population would not receive services were we not in their community.

Our foundation is run by clinical psychologists who are skilled at offering culturally sensitive interventions. We know that many times, clinicians who work in communities of color do more harm than good due to not having an intimate appreciation of the community and their struggles. Our doctors are sophisticated and know how to meet people where they are at. We have years and years of experience offering services inside of communities in and around Chicago. We know that each community is different and has unique qualities that make them unique, and we understand that we cannot offer a safe space without working from within the context and cultural framework of our patients' lives.
