Why do we do what we do?

At C&C Therapy, we love what we do! Recognizing that effective communication transcends mere words and sounds, we adopt a holistic, whole-person perspective in our work with clients. We firmly believe in harnessing each client’s strengths to tackle their weaknesses, employing a range of strategies and approaches to improve their communication skills. We see ourselves as active participants in each client’s journey, working collaboratively as part of their dedicated “team.” Our dedication extends beyond improving anomalous skills; we are committed to helping clients integrate skills and knowledge to make effective, meaningful communication a reality.

Where and when does therapy take place?

We offer virtual intervention and in-person services in our warm and inviting clinic space located in Chicago’s Ravenswood Manor neighborhood directly across the street from Horner Park. You may also inquire about therapy taking place at your child’s school or in the comfort of your home. The option of travel sessions to homes on the North Side of Chicago and the near Northern Suburbs of Chicago is dependent on our associates’ availability. Regardless of the location of our services, we strive to create the best possible environment to maximize skill acquisition and functional gains.

 

Our typical hours are between 9:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, some associates offer sessions beyond these hours. Please note that after school slots (3:30-7:00) are highly coveted and fill up quickly.

 

We encourage you to inquire if you have questions about specific times of day and locations of services.
