Find a therapist in Illinois — covered by insurance

Education and Credentials: I hold a Master of Science Ed. from Purdue University, where I specialized in clinical mental health and addiction. I am also Certified in Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) as well as Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C). My academic background, combined with my extensive clinical experience, equips me to address a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns.

Feeling stuck can be so frustrating. Where do we go when our usual coping skills stop working?

Having been on both sides of this question, I deeply understand the struggle on both a personal and professional level. I believe that's where therapy can really help to remove some road-blocks. It's not a cure-all, but it can certainly help build momentum.

By using more imaginative approaches to therapy in addition to cognitive approaches, I believe that roadblocks can be moved and deeper, holistic healing is possible.

I look forward to hearing and helping you move forward in your story.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Miami, completed my internship at Yale School of Medicine and my fellowship at CHA/Harvard Medical School.

I have specialized training in health psychology including cancer, autoimmune disease, GI disease, infertility, third party reproduction, pregnancy loss, peripartum mental health, adjustment to parenting. I help with anxiety, depression, ADHD and burnout.

Life can be challenging, and in those moments we may lose touch with our true selves. Reaching out for support takes courage and is an important first step. With over 18 years of experience, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I work primarily with adults using an integrative approach that includes Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in creative and caregiving fields, helping them reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find balance. I also work with adult children of caregivers who struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues such as Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

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.
