College and early adulthood can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I work with college students and young adults who are navigating academic pressure, shifting friendships, family expectations, dating, and big life decisions. You might look like you’re managing it all, but inside you feel anxious, unsure of yourself, or constantly comparing where you are to everyone else. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, identity questions, or just trying to figure out your next step, therapy can be a place to slow down and actually breathe.

Dr. Qianhui Zhang

Psychologist

Virtual • Illinois


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.
