If you’ve been feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck in a hard transition, you’re not alone. I work with people 16 and up who want support around anxiety, depression, life stressors, and eating disorders. My goal is to help you feel understood while we work toward steady, meaningful change together.

I received my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2014. My clinical values are deeply rooted in the ethos of social work, which is that to understand any person, you must understand the context of their life. This includes your family of origin, socioeconomic status, any discrimination you face, and your religious or spiritual belief system. All of these parts of your life will be essential to bring into the therapy space to understand best what ails you and where we might find remedies within you and your community.

My name is Alicia Ali. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience in my field.

My name is Katie and I have been a counselor for 15 years. I specialize in relationship concerns, including dating and singleness, marriage, and divorce care.

I'm Dr. Qianhui Zhang, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology and over 15 years of experience working with young adults, students, and professionals. My practice has been primarily centered on international students, immigrant communities, and BIPOC professionals — people who are often navigating not just personal struggles, but the compounding weight of cultural transition, systemic stress, and identity in a world that wasn't always built with them in mind. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, intergenerational and complex trauma, attachment and intimacy difficulties, and the particular pressures that come with high-functioning burnout. I also work with eating disorders, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity development, and psychedelic preparation and integration. I offer individual psychotherapy, group therapy, psychological evaluation (including immigration evaluations), and consultation and training for therapists and other professionals. I conduct sessions in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and see clients in person in Chicago as well as via telehealth across 43 PsyPact states.

I believe therapy should feel safe, empowering and collaborative. I approach each client with compassion, curiosity and respect for their lived experience. In our work together, you can expect honesty, encouragement and practical tools you can apply outside of sessions.
