Erynn Besser, LCPC, CST

I am a white, queer, neurodivergent therapist devoted to community care, authenticity, and embodied healing. I’m drawn to the spaces where identity, music, comfort, and spiritual practices — such as tarot, bodywork, and connection to nature — come together to honor cycles, stories, and relationships.

I remain deeply engaged in my own ongoing journey of tending to life’s complexities — its burdens and its delights — with curiosity and openness. I am an imperfect human who has carried grief, wrestled with doubt, felt the weight of insecurity, and known the ache of otherness. These lived experiences shape my work and allow me to meet others with empathy, presence, and care.

I identify as a house witch, pleasure activist, existentialist, and psychedelic medicine enthusiast.

At the core of my work is a commitment to deep relational presence and to co-creating spaces where others can reconnect with their own aliveness, meaning, and sense of self. In this role, I serve as a guide — someone who helps illuminate the path without directing it, honoring each person’s unique rhythms, truths, and transformations.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and a homegrown human being passionate about supporting individuals in reclaiming their most authentic selves and cultivating richer connection and purpose. I received my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

I live and practice in Chicago, where I cohabitate with my partner and our rescued pet pigeon, Huxley.
