MERRILLVILLE — Adrienne Little always wants to make her corner of the world better.
She's taking a big step toward that goal on Friday, when her therapy business, For the Culture Therapy, Inc., tailored toward Black and LGBTQIA+ people, officially opens a new office space in Merrillville.
The office is located at 814 E. 86th Ave. in Environ Plaza, south of U.S. Highway 30 and between Broadway and Interstate 65.
"I wanted to have a space where I can treat everyone, of course," Little said, "and make sure that BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) folks and LGBTQIA+ folks are celebrated, not just tolerated but actually celebrated."
