Since 2005, we have been serving the people of Chicago through providing holistic and integrated therapy services.
Our Mission
The mission of Agave Studio is to provide healing through transformative therapeutic services. We are committed to partnering with people, families, and communities in order to foster resilience and hope in all people.
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us.
”
Our Approach
We work from a holistic model of wellness to address issues including mood, culture, sexuality, spirituality, relationships, anxiety, depression, transitions, grief/loss, and trauma/abuse.
Interdisciplinary - drawing on both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches.
Trauma informed - whether acute or complex trauma, we know how to hold and treat it.
Spiritually minded - regardless of religion, we will honor your faith, beliefs, and questioning.
Embodied - honing your greatest tool - your body - you will experience regulation and integration.
We are committed to providing anti-racist and anti-discriminatory therapy. Regardless of age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, and body-size we believe that you should experience a non-judgmental and healing space.
Why the Agave Plant
The agave plant is resilient, often found in hot and arid climates. Its leaves are strong and sharp, protecting against predators. And yet it is curved and fluid, welcoming to those who know how to take care of it. And when broken, it can have medicinal and healing components. In some cultures, the agave represents both pain and joy. And there is no better metaphor for the work of therapy.
