I did not stumble into this work — I chose it, and I choose it every day. I am Bianca Gist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana.
I am also a former collegiate athlete, and that background shapes how I show up — I know what it feels like to carry a lot and still need someone genuinely in your corner. My experience is rooted in the spaces where people need the most and are often given the least — Chicago Public Schools, foster care, home-based services, and community mental health. Through my private practice, Her Sole Purpose LLC, I work with children, adolescents, student-athletes, and families using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I use what works for the person in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work well with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of environments that were not built for them. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward — not just cope.
If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.

Currently, I am only accepting new clients who are within the LGBTQIA2+ community.
I am a trans and queer LCSW and artist with 15 years of experience in community mental health. I completed my MSW and MA in Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. Before grad school, I worked in reproductive justice, body autonomy, and community care. Life experiences have led me to provide therapy with a focus on community care through an anti oppressive lens.
