Hi, Natalie Rasa, LCSW
I’m the founder of The Talk Studio™ and a licensed psychotherapist. In October 2025, we opened Chicago’s first urgent-care style psychotherapy practice, located right on a bustling main street. We’re here for people who can’t wait weeks to talk to someone.
We created this space because we kept seeing a gap in mental health care: what about the people who can’t wait a week, or even weeks for a session? The ones in the middle of a breakup, a panic spiral, sudden loss or a “what am I even doing with my life” moment? The ones who are not in a full-blown medical crisis, but definitely not okay?
That’s where The Talk Studio™ comes in. We’re an in-person and telehealth, same-day booking, one-time session, therapy office, built for those in-between moments. Real support. Right when you need it.
With over a decade in healthcare, I combine my clinical expertise as a licensed psychotherapist with a knack for building innovative care models that meet people where they are. Literally and emotionally. The Talk Studio™ connects clients with immediate, same-day mental health support and a curated network of therapists for ongoing care, making it easier for our community to get the help they need, when they need it.
We believe in de-stigmatizing mental health. So we took therapy out of hiding and placed it right where it belongs…. on a main street. And we couldn’t be more proud to be part of the Logan Square community.
Thanks for having us.
