Andersonville Spirit, Tandem Heart
Andersonville is a neighborhood that wears its roots proudly: the iconic Swedish‑flag water tower, Clark Street’s indie cafés and bookstores, and one of Chicago’s largest LGBTQ+ communities all live side‑by‑side in less than a square mile.
That mix of heritage and progress mirrors Tandem Psychology’s spirit. We created a professional home here because, like Andersonville, we believe community, authenticity, and a dash of quirky charm make growth possible—and even fun!
