Sow & Seed is a Black women founded and ran boutique private practice with niche trained clinicians in Illinois and New York who specialize in all aspects of relational healing.

Our clinicians are hand picked and trained to dig down to the root of disconnection, painful relational cycles, and (mis) communication. With the use of evidenced based practices and cultural attunement, our therapists co-create one-of-a-kind treatment plans to aid in personal, relational, and community healing.

just to be clear: We as a practice and collective are committed to supporting and joining alongside all the members within our culturally rich community. We are committed to holding space for blackness, for queerness, for different able-ness, for nuance, for the dwellers on the margins, for equity, for vivid color, for history, for the wisdom that still warms but we need to sort through .…for all our folks & kin. 

Our clinicians are skilled to equip clients with a deeper understanding of themselves, intimacy, and vulnerability.

Our staff supports the delicate process of self- discovery and newfound agency; we often revel in our clients ability to sustain the blossoms of new ways of being, loving, communicating, resolving…. living.

We believe that healthier individuals, partners, families, and homes sustain the foundation of healthier communities and tomorrows.

Who are we?

Sow & Seed Psychotherapy Collective was founded as a homage to the commonly known cyclical truth “you reap what you sow.”

You reap what you sow

a phrase that echos across dinner tables, between park benches, resounded from podiums, reflected on during long drives, and is often whispered in the reassuring arms of an elder.  This saying is an almost universal and intergenerational term that signals the rooted power of choice, action, response, looming justice, and trust that dwells within the internal worlds and workings of us all. 

What happens if we begin to build new networks of patterns and decisions as we consciously and carefully pick out the seed that we want to sow?

Think of therapy as the massive discovery center where you are able to understand and be introduced to all of the unique seeds that are available to you.

The true work of therapy gifts us with the courage to dig into the soil and bury something new deep deep deep into the earth trusting that the blossom of our seed, of our desires, of our yearning to shift and heal will soon come…

The real question being, what are you willing to sow?
