Therapy at the Root
Welcome to Olive Branch Wellness in Illinois, where your emotional well-being is our highest priority. Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to guiding you through life's challenges with compassion and expertise.
OUR VALUES
Olive Branch Wellness is a Palestinian immigrant, female-owned psychotherapy practice rooted in Chicago. Our mission is to create a space for healing that is decolonized, anti-oppressive, and grounded in intersectionality. We believe that therapy should honor each person’s story and identities, challenge systems that perpetuate harm, and center compassion, safety, and empowerment. Our practice is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and inclusive of all backgrounds, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and first- and second-generation communities.
We approach therapy through a holistic and evidence-informed lens, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, Intersectional-Feminist, and trauma-focused modalities. Every session is guided by collaboration, consent, and transparency to help clients explore their emotions, relationships, and identities within the broader social and cultural systems they navigate. At Olive Branch Wellness, healing is more than symptom relief, it’s about reconnecting with yourself, your roots, and your capacity to thrive.
“And I say to myself: a moon will rise from my darkness.”
-Mahmoud Darwish
