TaskForce offers free, affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ youth and adults on Chicago’s West Side. This program was created to help remove barriers to mental health care and provide a supportive space where clients can feel seen, respected, and cared for.

Therapy services are provided by Annette N. Sandoval, MA, LPC, CADC, a bilingual therapist in English and Spanish. Annette specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ communities, marginalized communities, couples, families, and women navigating personal, relational, and identity-based challenges.

Annette supports clients exploring identity, transition, sexuality, stigma, self-acceptance, family dynamics, relationships, and life changes. Her approach is inclusive of queer, trans, non-binary, questioning, and allied clients, creating a therapeutic space where each person’s truth is honored.

Therapy is available on-site at TaskForce on Tuesdays, with virtual sessions also available. Insurance is not required.

If Annette is fully booked, TaskForce can also help connect clients to additional affirming therapy support through Chicago Therapy Collective.
