Welcome to Solid Foundations Therapy, Your Gateway to a Fulfilling Career in Mental Health!

Located in the heart of Downers Grove, IL, Solid Foundations Therapy is a practice focused on results-driven therapy for individuals and couples.

We’re looking for therapists who are committed to making a difference and don’t want to worry about the burden of administrative work.

We believe in nurturing a culture where each staff member feels valued, connected, reward for their work and is continuously evolving both personally and professionally.

Our expertise lies in addressing the intricate dynamics of individual adult therapy and couples counseling, with a special focus on romantic relationship issues. Our clients often grapple with challenging relationship issues such as communication issues, intimacy challenges and divorce along with standard mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and overall life stress. 

What additionally sets us apart is our commitment to inclusivity. We proudly serve a diverse clientele, embracing multicultural perspectives, the LGBTQ+ community, and those in consensual non-monogamous relationships.

Join us at Solid Foundations Therapy, where your career in therapy isn’t just a job—it’s a journey towards making a profound difference in the lives of others, while being part of a team that cares about you just as much as you care about your clients.
