The Center for Contextual Change, based in Skokie, IL, has served the Chicago area for over 30 years, specializing in trauma, abuse, and interpersonal violence. Originally focused on providing direct psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, and communities, the center is now adapting its approach by emphasizing training, supervision, and consultation for clinicians to utilize the Collaborative Change Model developed by founder Mary Jo Barrett. As the center transitions to a model with fewer clinicians, it remains committed to offering comprehensive intake services to connect clients with appropriate former CCC therapists. Despite changes in service delivery, the Center for Contextual Change continues to position itself as a leader and valuable resource in trauma-informed care and professional training within the mental health field.
