Resilience Psychological Services

What Resilience Psychological Services does

Resilience Psychological Services is a Chicago-based group private practice founded in 2015, operating from a single office at 303 E Wacker Dr, Suite 1130, with 11–50 staff. The firm delivers outpatient psychotherapy to adults, children, couples, and families in the Chicago metropolitan area and via telehealth across Illinois, structured around a direct-to-consumer model with insurance-based and out-of-network billing. It is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Medicaid, Medicare, and United|Optum.

The practice's core products are clinical services — individual therapy, couples/relationship therapy, family therapy, play therapy, gender-affirming letters of support, and peer-led support groups — delivered using an unusually broad portfolio of evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, ERP, Prolonged Exposure, EFT, Gottman Method, somatic, systems) layered with differentiated frameworks including trauma-informed, decolonizing, and liberation psychology approaches. Patient acquisition runs through the practice website, professional directories (e.g., Psychology Today), peer referrals, and recurring community events such as First Fridays with Resilience and the TGNCNB Therapist Coalition.

Resilience is independently owned with no identified external institutional investors or parent company. It monetizes through fee-for-service therapy reimbursement, supplemented by structured training programs (clinical internship, August–June cohort) and free consultations that function as funnel conversion tools. The core moat is talent-based: a diverse clinical team with rare specialization in anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, and justice-centered mental health care, targeting underserved segments including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, religious-trauma survivors, and migrant communities.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Group therapy practice operating physical clinics plus telehealth with a focus on matching clients to specialized clinicians. Directly comparable on the curated, multi-modality group-practice model targeting insured clients.
• Alma: Membership-based network of therapists in private practice, handling insurance credentialing and billing. Comparable as a curated clinician network serving insured clients with a multi-modality therapy offering.
• Octave: Modern mental health practice combining therapists, psychiatrists, and coaches under insurance billing. Comparable group-practice + insurance model with a strong in-person + telehealth footprint.
• Talkspace: Online therapy platform delivering individual, couples, and teen therapy via telehealth. Directly comparable on modality breadth (CBT, DBT, ACT, etc.) and payor mix, but operates at national virtual scale rather than a single-office Chicago footprint.
• Grow Therapy: Network of licensed therapists offering in-person and telehealth sessions with insurance billing and admin support. Closely analogous operating model (insurance-accepting group practice network) and direct overlap on Chicago-area providers.
• BetterHelp: Largest direct-to-consumer online therapy marketplace offering individual, couples, and teen counseling via subscription. Comparable on client mix (anxiety, trauma, relationships) and self-serve access model, though much broader and less specialized.

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: Enterprise mental health benefit provider offering therapy, coaching, and medication management to employer-sponsored clients. Overlaps on evidence-based therapy modalities and insurance delivery, but operates at B2B employer scale rather than D2C.

Others

• Headway: Insurance-billing platform that supports independent therapists and group practices like Resilience. Functions as an enabler rather than a competitor; directly relevant to the practice's insurance-revenue infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Intensive outpatient and virtual mental health program for teens and young adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Comparable on trauma and identity-focused clinical offerings, especially for adolescents and LGBTQIA+ populations.
• Mantra Health: Telehealth mental health provider focused on college students and underserved populations. Comparable on identity-affirming, culturally responsive care and insurance billing, but narrows to a specific demographic.
