Your Healing Is Sacred.

So Is Your Story.

I’m Chrissy Storey, LCPC, founder of Sacred Stories Counseling located in Chicago, IL. I created this practice for people like me—and like you—who have been told to be strong, to hold it together, and to do so in silence. We deserve better. We deserve care that honors the full depth of who we are.

Sacred Stories Counseling is a space for Black and Brown folks, queer folks, and neurodivergent folks to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. It’s a space to put down the pressure of perfection, to stop overfunctioning, and to rediscover who you are underneath the roles you’ve had to play.

Our Values

Ethical Collaboration

We’re partnering with you

Inclusive + Affirming

All of who you are is welcome and wanted here

Courageous Curiosity

Exploring your inner world with a sense of wonder

Embodied Liberation

Creating space for joy, freedom, and rest through anti-oppressive work

Our MISSION

At Sacred Stories Counseling we center the lives and stories of black, brown, queer, and other marginalized humans. We are an inclusive and affirming practice. You don’t need to prove yourself, your story, your pain - we believe you! You’ll never have to minimize yourself here. We honor your lived experiences. We connect with you from an anti-oppressive and trauma informed perspective. We invite you on a journey of courageous curiosity with your inner world - parts you welcome, parts you may be unfamiliar with, and parts you try to hide.

Here, therapy is a collaborative process and we are honored to be on the journey with you. We’ll empower you to take up space, and connect with your agency in our work together. We are grounded in liberation practices that cultivate joy, freedom, and rest! Our goal is to empower you to stand your sacred ground.

In our communities our joy has been tested and oppressive systems have tried to stifle it. At Sacred Stories Counseling we invite joy as liberation and part of our resistance work. It’s ok to laugh in therapy sometimes. In fact, we welcome it here. We hold your story as sacred, and invite you to do the same.

Meet Chrissy

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 trained, and passionate about creating space where all your parts are welcome. I’ve worked with individuals navigating identity, trauma, anxiety, and burnout, and I bring a deeply human, trauma-informed approach to every session.

I’m also committed to supporting other clinicians—especially those from marginalized communities—as they grow into their own power. Because healing isn’t just for individuals—it’s for communities.
