Professional Counseling Interns
Positive Regard Therapy (PRT) offers a clinical training program for graduate-level intern therapists. As part of this program, we accept Aetna, BCBS PPO, Cigna and offer reduced rate / sliding fee sessions starting at $30. Seeing an intern therapist for a reduced rate, allows intern therapists to earn the hours they need for their program, and can be especially helpful for those who are unemployed, underemployed or do not have adequate health insurance.
Our intern therapists are seeing clients in-person at our Andersonville office or via telehealth.
To schedule a first session or get more information, please email hello@positiveregard.co or call our main office line at 773.570.2829.
Christina Bueno (she/her)
My aim is to help empower clients. I create a supportive environment for individuals and couples of all kinds. I am especially interested in working with students and adolescents. I’ve lived a full life, and want to help others navigate some of life’s transitions. I was raised in Mexico and spent several years in various Latin American countries and Spain. I welcome clients who are adjusting to new ways of living. As a certified yoga instructor, I also believe that body and mind are connected and employ mindfulness techniques and somatic approaches. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space that allows everyone to feel deeply understood for who they are.
Erin Siegferth (she/her)
I work with individuals and relationship partners of all kinds. My clinical interests include gender and sexual identity exploration, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma, transition-age young adulthood, and body acceptance. I consider myself kink-knowledgable and sex positive. When working with clients, I welcome consideration of the ways societal and cultural influences play out in our day to day lives.
Lilah Ravinuthala (she/her)
I am a South Asian queer therapist who is focused on creating an authentic space for you to heal and grow. As a second-generation immigrant, I understand the stigma and trepidation that comes with getting mental healthcare. I strive to create a space where you can be seen and heard without judgment. We will work together to identify challenges related to trauma, cultural background, depression, anxiety, and lack of fulfillment in life.
Sam Milstone (he/him)
My practice with teens and adults often uses the tenets of geek therapy to employ my client’s hobbies and interests as safe context for their uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. My approach is client-centered, solution-focused, and feminist in its critical examination of our constructed lives and relationships. To find reasonable solutions to our problems, I find it important to contextualize our struggles within the oppressive weight of our cultural climate. I enjoy working with fellow LGBTQIA+ people and couples to celebrate our identities whether it be our queer sexuality, gender-queerness, ethnic identity, mental diagnoses, or neurodivergence.
Sara Richmond (she/they)
Curiosity leads my work. With my clients, I seek to co-create a space to explore their joys and struggles. My clinical interests include sexuality and gender identity development, self-worth expansion, mending relationships with others and with ourselves, understanding anxiety, depression, and personal values. Serving both teens and adults, I come from a person-centered, strength-based and existential framework. I practice queer, kink, and poly affirming counseling.
