Meet Joseph Harrington, LPC

Hello! I’m Joseph (he/him/his). I view therapy as a creative and collaborative experience that requires a unique approach for every individual. With that in mind, I find a genuine, supportive, and transparent relationship to be an important foundation for healing and growth. I also recognize that it will not just be us in the therapy room; we each bring in our histories, cultures, and intersecting identities that influence how we see the world and how the world sees us. I endeavor to create a safe and empowering space for you to explore all aspects of yourself, meet your goals, and create a life of flourishing.

My areas of focus include working with adult individuals and couples around topics such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, life transitions, identity development, and men’s issues. I have a particular interest and experience in working with men and culturally diverse clients. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and continually striving to move beyond allyship towards being a genuine accomplice for marginalized communities.

I received my MA in Counseling from The Family Institute at Northwestern University and a BA in Sociology from the University of Florida. I have training in several forms of therapy to tailor our time together to what works best for you. Again, collaboration and creativity are essential. When appropriate, I incorporate CBT and DBT skills and utilize a feminist multicultural perspective to understand the contexts in which we find ourselves. Beyond my formal education, I have a deep grounding in mindfulness techniques from years of personal meditation practices.

I’m excited to hear from you and honored to join you on your journey.

Joseph sees clients at our South Loop location, as well as via telehealth.

He is in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna, & United Healthcare insurance.
