About

Mikey is a Queer artist and art therapist from Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood, dedicated to creating affirming and collaborative spaces for healing. They hold a BFA in Fine Art and an MA in Art Therapy and Counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their therapeutic approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, strength-based, and grounded in social justice. Drawing upon talk therapy, art-making and EMDR, Mikey specializes in supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals across the lifespan. They tailor therapy to each person’s needs, centering on confidentiality, harm reduction, empowerment, and cultural humility. I provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, heal from trauma, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we can integrate talk therapy and art making to address concerns such as identity exploration, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
