In-School Mental Health Services for Chicago’s Youth & Families.

Traditional mental health care often comes with impossible barriers like transportation issues, financial strain, and scheduling conflicts. At The Chicago Foundation for Mental Health (TCFMH.org), we change the equation by bringing high-quality, clinical mental health services directly into Chicago schools during regular school hours.


By embedding our services where students already spend their days, we completely eliminate access issues and bridge the gap for families who need support most.

Why Our Model Works

Why Our Model Works

Zero Access Barriers

Therapy takes place in school, during school hours, so parents never have to worry about transportation or missing work.

A Sustainable Approach

We build deeply integrated, long-term partnerships with schools across Chicago’s South and West Sides to ensure consistent, reliable care.

Clinical Excellence

Our programs are led by experienced clinical psychologists, therapists, and social workers who deliver culturally sensitive individual therapy and social-emotional learning (SEL).

Community Driven

We are motivated by a shared mission to bring immediate relief, healing, and resources to the Chicago communities that have gone underserved for too long.

“We meet families exactly where they are—removing the obstacles to care so healing can happen naturally.”

Culturally Sensitive Approach

Culturally Sensitive Approach:

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.

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.

What We Do

We are mental health clinicians dedicated to providing services in communities that lack access to many basic resources. We work hard to put ourselves in front of at-risk youth as well as adults and families who would otherwise go without care. We know that access to mental health care and many other resources is not the same for everyone. We hope to not only bring healing but to also inspire other professionals to go into communities that are most in need.
