We are complex beings designed to feel.

Life affects us—and it should. Yet even when we are in dark places, our therapists can help guide you through.

Founded on the principle that all are welcome, valued and validated, Nosh Family Therapy leads with humanity and helps you cultivate wellbeing through gaining insight and awareness into your relationships to promote positive change. Our team of therapists embraces multiculturalism and works with individuals, couples, and families around issues including identity, attachment, differentiation, grief, trauma, infidelity, immigration, self-esteem, anxiety and depression.

To feel is not only to be alive but to thrive.

At Nosh Family Therapy, we know the most important relationship you’ll have in life is the one with yourself. We see vulnerability as our essence and our deepest strength, and in a world that often doesn’t encourage it, we proudly stand with you and applaud you to share and be seen.

  • What People Are Saying

    “Nosheen Hydari created her practice after years of witnessing the policies, processes, values, and priorities of many clinical and non-clinical settings. She has worked at the individual, relational, family, and community levels. Nosheen even worked to draw attention to policy issues at the national level. This multisystemic lens informs Nosh Family Therapy's commitment to inviting us all into our feelings, our complexity, and to the wholeness of what it is to be alive.”

  • What People Are Saying

    “Nosheen was one of the panelists for the panel discussion "Break the Silence: Challenges with South Asian Mental Health Representation in America" hosted by Chicago Minds. Nosheen shared so much wisdom with us that originated from her grounded clinical work and deep involvement with the community. Not only did Nosheen bring in her specialized clinical insights, but also incorporated the lens of dismantling white supremacy on a systemic level. It was such a growth journey for us!”

  • What People Are Saying

    “Nosheen and I first met in March 2016 when I was working as a public librarian. After the release of the video of Laquan McDonald's murder by police, she graciously volunteered her time to facilitate a monthly community support group to hold space for the palpable grief felt by the people living in the extremely underserved, predominantly Black neighborhood in which my library was located. I was in awe of the way that she was able to show up authentically while continually de-centering herself. Residents of all ages who had previously presented as understandably closed off immediately sensed that Nosheen was trustworthy and began opening up to her and each other about their lived experiences and were able to create meaningful connections with each other as a result of her gentle but pointed guidance. I'm so thrilled that Nosheen has opened a practice where people of all identities can go to find the same comfort and healing!”

  • What People Are Saying

    “Nosheen has been a close colleague of mine for the past ten years, and during this time I have referred countless clients to her. Her approach is warm, personable, and direct. Nosheen helps those she works with feel validated and supported; at the same time, she helps her clients consider, negotiate, challenge, and work within their family, cultural, and larger societal systems. Nosheen is an exceptional clinician whom I consider to be a vital part of my professional network.”
