I seek to connect with all humans on all levels; mental health is an expression of ourselves that needs to be nurtured and understood. Finding connection is our purpose in life.
I am a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Family Medicine. I enjoy meeting and working with all types of clients and specialize in down to earth conversation meant to address areas in a client's life that are most difficult to navigate. I want to inspire others to find their own inner strength while empowering them to make sound and well guided decisions. Whether the client is goal seeking or simply wishes to have a supportive ear, I am here for them. Together, we can explore various options that fit any lifestyle. I enjoy client/provider relationships that are collaborative and with open communication.
My style includes focusing on what the client tells me are their goals. I want to work within the parameters of safety and satisfaction without any compromise of goals or beliefs. Healing starts with honestly exploring issues that are not always easy to face. But, together, we sort it all out and make simple, realistic plans to reach a solution.
I would love to meet you and build a solid and non-judgmental relationship. I may only be a small part of your life or even present for a short time. However, mental health is a lifelong journey and you deserve to have a caring and steadfast provider.

As a Black woman and trauma-informed therapist, I blend evidence-based tools with culturally responsive care to help clients quiet anxiety, heal wounds that didn’t start with them, and break generational cycles—because survival can be part of your story without becoming your legacy.
I’m Khaliah Marsh, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults in school, community mental health, and private practice settings. I earned my MSW from Loyola University Chicago and help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, generational trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, narrative, and expressive therapy, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build tools that fit your real life—because therapy isn’t about perfection; it’s about becoming 1% better each day.
I work with children, teens, and adults using a warm, honest, creative, and age-appropriate approach. I’m EMDR-trained and use SFBT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, narrative, expressive, and play therapy to address anxiety and trauma. Clients can expect sessions where conversation, creativity, and practical tools support understanding, confidence, and growth.
You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support or know exactly what to say when you arrive. Therapy should give you room to be honest, feel understood, and be challenged without judgment. If you’re ready to understand yourself and make changes that improve your real life, schedule an appointment. Insight matters—but what you do with it changes everything.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Chicago therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Chicago, IL is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment.
