The Chicago Foundation for Mental Health | TCFMH.org
We are “The Chicago Foundation for Mental Health” (TCFMH.org), an Illinois based non-profit and 501(C)(3) organization. Our goal is to offer mental health care in Chicago where there is a large need for care and a lack of accessible options. We offer individual, group, and family therapy. We also offer prevention activities that work to overcome the stigma associated with mental health. We are also partners with different schools across Chicago’s South and West Sides where we offer individual therapy and social emotional learning services.
Olivia Turner, LPC
My name is Liv Turner and as a therapist at TCFMH, I primarily work with children and adolescents, while also supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other challenges. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and grounded in empathy and acceptance. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. I provide LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-affirming care and, when working with children, focus on building trust, developing emotional skills, and helping them feel more confident navigating their world.
My passion for therapy is personal. As a child, I experienced anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, and therapy helped me learn that my symptoms didn't have to control my life. That experience continues to shape the way I practice today. I believe people can grow and change at any stage of life, and my goal is to help each client better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and feel more equipped to face life's challenges.
