I’m so glad you reached out—welcome! My name is Troy Johnson, and I’m a psychotherapist and LGBTQ+ advocate based in Chicago. I run Queer Talk Therapy, a private practice specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health, non-conventional relationships, and gender-affirming care. I provide remote therapy sessions across multiple states, offering affirming, identity-focused support.
I enjoy being on BetterHelp periodically because I love meeting new people and offering short-term, focused support to help clients get started on their journey. Whether you're working through challenges, seeking clarity, or looking for a space where you can be fully yourself, I’m here to help.
Here’s what you can expect from me:
-A laid-back, collaborative space where you can be yourself.
-Support that’s tailored to what you need right now.
-Tools and insights to help you feel more confident and in control.
-Options for continued care beyond short-term support, for those who want to dive deeper into this work.
I’d love to hear about what brought you here and what you’re hoping to get out of this experience. Let’s work together to tackle what’s most important to you right now and set a strong foundation for moving forward.

Looking forward to working with you,
Troy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Troy Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was very nervous when deciding to open up a vulnerable side of my life. I was uncertain, anxious, and hesitant to open up about the painful experiences I have been through. However working with Troy has made the difference. He helped me steadily open up in a manner that has been soothing and insightful. I am now looking at my whole experience not from a standpoint of pain and fear but rather from a perspective of experience and knowledge.
