Who We Are
Our Story
Welcome to Pneuma Therapeutic Services. We are so honored that you would consider us to walk with you on your journey towards healing, wholeness and freedom. Pneuma launched its practice in January of 2020 with a vision to have a full service counseling and therapy practice for the city of Chicago that sees everyone from adults and couples to adolescents and families and to work with a number of issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and career counseling, but to have a specialization in helping people from trauma and find freedom from addiction, specifically sexual addictions. We have trained therapists who have a heart and passion to help those who are hurting and who want to make changes in their lives. Many of our therapists are trained in EMDR counseling and therapy (eye-movement, desensitization and reprocessing) to aid in the healing of trauma. Additionally, we can provide spiritual and religious integration for those who have a faith background and wish to have their faith values integrated into counseling and therapy.
What We Believe
Pneuma’s Mission Statement is to transform the city of Chicago and the world by providing excellent, first-rate mental health services from highly trained professionals to those who are hurting and who want to change and have healing in their lives and in their relationships.
We believe the truth that ALL people are created in the image of God, and thus affirm the inherent dignity and worth of every person. Because of this, we also affirm that there is no preferential hierarchy based on sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, social identity, political affiliation, and economic status. As an agency, we are welcoming of ALL people groups and as fellow image bearers of God, exist to care for the hurting and the broken.

Partner Organizations
Pneuma is proud to partner with and support Vite Trasformate, an organization that exists to support those who have been sexually trafficked and to put an end to the horrific practice of sexual slavery.
Pneuma is also proud to partner with and support Naomi’s House. Naomi’s House is a faith-based, non-profit organization that works with women who have been trafficked. We provide tailored support to victims and survivors wherever they are. Whether that is fully ingrained in commercial sexual exploitation, preparing to leave it, or beginning a new life of their own, we want women to know that they are not alone.
