We understand firsthand that the journey of self-discovery and pride can be challenging to navigate. We offer LGBTQ+ therapy in Illinois because we know the importance of having a trusted companion on this lifelong journey.
We are dedicated to creating welcoming spaces specifically tailored for queer and trans folks in Chicago, Springfield, Rockford, Peoria, Aurora, Champaign, Bloomington, Evanston, Decatur, and every community in between. As a regular in Chicago, Dr. Nadeau is a close friend of the Prairie State and its queer communities.
We get the importance of meeting with an LGBTQ+ therapist who is 100% on board with who you are, how you love, and how you navigate the world. Our goal is to make you feel heard, validated, and supported in every facet of your life in Illinois.
Too many queer folks have been misunderstood or actively harmed in therapy rooms. You shouldn’t have to vet your therapist for basic decency before you can get to what you actually came to talk about.
We are proud to offer LGBTQ+ therapy across Illinois, serving the metro areas with therapy in Chicago, Springfield, Rockford, and Peoria, and all the cities in between.
Illinois therapists for LGBTQ+ folks

At Panorama Therapy, we provide a safe(r) container for folks living outside the heteronormative model to explore identity and self-expression. We encourage diversity and embrace uniqueness. However you experience or identify or express yourself, we support you and want to further uplift you. Our approach to serving you comes from a place of experience and understanding.
