Who are we?

Liberation Therapy Collective is a Chicago-based therapy practice rooted in liberation, anti-oppressive, and decolonial approaches to healing. We believe that emotional well-being cannot be separated from the systems and experiences that shape our lives. 

We invite queer, trans, Brown, and Black individuals and communities into a space where your grief and joy can unfurl and your healing can flourish in ways that support your personal and our collective liberation.

Welcome to Liberation Therapy.

  • TESTIMONIALS

    "When I first began working with Georgina Haro, I was experiencing profound grief following the loss of my father during the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to long‑standing struggles with depression and anxiety. Throughout our work together, Georgina provided a safe and supportive space for me to process my emotions at my own pace, always meeting me with compassion and professionalism. Her ability to understand my cultural background and incorporate that perspective into our sessions made me feel truly seen and understood."

  • Testimonials

    “We are SO grateful for Vanessa [Tercero]! We started seeing her at a relational turning point when we were looking for guidance on how to rebuild and move forward as a couple or consider going our separate ways. Vanessa helped us better understand ourselves and each other, establish trust, create healthy boundaries, and communicate in a way that upheld our individual needs while protecting the relationship.”

  • TESTIMONIALS

    "For almost five years, I’ve loved seeing Christie as my therapist. Having someone who understands my background and supports me through all my ups and downs has meant more to me than I can express. She truly hears and listens to me, helps me navigate my personal obstacles with compassion and insight, and I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist, I’m so incredibly thankful I found her when I did."

  • TESTIMONIALS

    "As a Black man, I was initially hesitant about exploring therapy because I wasn’t sure I would find someone who looked like me to speak with. Liberation Therapy has been a great resource for the Black community to begin their therapy journey in a safe and supportive space with people who reflect and understand their experiences."

  • Testimonials

    “[Vanessa Tercero] supported us in addressing the childhood wounds that were complicating our interactions, and shared somatic strategies to help calm and rewire our nervous systems to prevent harmful arguments and support us in regrouping when we were both calm.”

  • TESTIMONIALS

    "I’ve come to think of my therapy sessions [with Eden] as a space where I’m able to share my deepest thoughts, trauma, and fears. Those moments are always met with grace, patience, and understanding. The benefits of the work I’ve done in therapy show up in how I move through my life. I would highly recommend Liberation Therapy to anyone seeking a supportive place to grow and heal."

    “Cheesy as it may sound, we could not have gotten to this happy and really important place in our relationship without Vanessa [Tercero]. We will forever be grateful for her time, commitment, wisdom, and care.”
