Office update: my Hyde Park office closes on October 31, 2026. From November 1, I see clients in person in downtown Chicago, at 401 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1225 (Streeterville) and 125 S. Wacker Dr. (the Loop), and online throughout Illinois.
Hyde Park is a neighborhood unlike any other in Chicago. Academic pressure, cultural richness, generational complexity, and the particular quiet of a South Side community that carries both history and ambition. On the outside, life here often looks considered and composed. On the inside, there is frequently more going on than anyone around you knows. Individual therapy in Hyde Park offers a private space to work through what is actually happening, at a pace and depth that serves you.
Many people who come to individual therapy in Hyde Park are not in crisis. They are thoughtful, often high-achieving adults who have recognized that something is not working and have decided to do something about it.
That decision takes clarity. And it deserves a therapist who meets it seriously.
My Michigan Avenue office at 401 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1225, a direct Metra Electric ride from Hyde Park, offers Friday and Saturday appointments. Insurance is accepted. The first step is always a first session.
People in Hyde Park tend to have strong networks: colleagues, mentors, friends, family. And still, many find that certain things do not get said, or cannot be said, in those relationships.
The exhaustion underneath the achievement. The doubt that does not match your credentials. The relationship tension you have been managing silently. Therapy is where those things can finally be said, without consequence.
The same conflict in different relationships. The same ceiling on your own progress. The same emotional response that surprises even you. Therapy addresses the structure underneath the repetition, not just the symptoms on the surface.
Therapy is not advice. It is a structured, professional process that creates the conditions for real change.
Working with Sabita Nandy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Sabita has worked in Chicago for over 20 years. Her Michigan Avenue office is a direct Metra Electric ride from Hyde Park, convenient for UChicago affiliates, Metra commuters, and Hyde Park residents. She brings a neurobiology-informed, narrative therapy approach to individual work that goes beyond symptom management to address underlying patterns.

Individual therapy sessions are 60 minutes. Most clients begin weekly and shift to every two weeks as things stabilize.
Insurance: BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, and United Healthcare PPO. Self-pay $200 per session.
The Hyde Park community carries particular layers. Many residents are first or second-generation professionals, navigating the intersection of family expectation, cultural identity, and personal ambition. Many are affiliated with the University of Chicago or the medical campus, working in environments where vulnerability is not especially valued. Many live with a level of intellectual self-awareness that can make it harder, not easier, to access emotional honesty.
I work with people in exactly these circumstances. The sessions are direct, substantive, and hold both the analytical and the emotional together.
Having a therapist whose office is in your neighborhood matters more than it might seem.
Proximity means consistency: Sessions that are easy to get to are sessions that actually happen. The Michigan Avenue office is a short walk from Millennium Station on the Metra Electric and is served by multiple CTA routes.
Cultural competence: Sabita works with clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds with specific attention to second-generation experience, immigration, and navigating multiple identities simultaneously.
Depth over breadth: Individual sessions in a solo practice mean your therapist holds your full story across time, not a rotating roster.
Saturday availability: For clients whose work schedule makes weekday appointments difficult, Saturday morning and afternoon sessions are available at the Michigan Avenue office.
If you are looking for individual therapy in Hyde Park and want a therapist who brings clinical depth and genuine accessibility, reach out to schedule your first appointment.

Yes. The Metra Electric makes the office convenient for University of Chicago affiliates. I work with graduate students, faculty, researchers, and medical professionals. I do not bill through student health plans but accept major PPO insurances and offer self-pay sessions at $200.
Anxiety, burnout, identity questions, grief, relationship strain, cultural and generational patterns, work stress, and life transitions are the most common presenting concerns. The work is tailored to what each person brings.
