About
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.

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.

By submitting this information, you consent to receive communication from Thriveworks about our services via automatic calls, artificial or pre-recorded messages, or texts at the phone number provided, or by email at the address provided.

In Evergreen Park, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our Evergreen Park office or visit our pricing page to learn more.
Yes, Thriveworks Evergreen Park accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.
We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).
Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in Evergreen Park and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.
All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.
Thriveworks Evergreen Park offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.
Most patients at Thriveworks Evergreen Park see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our Evergreen Park office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.
Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Evergreen Park can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.
Yes. Thriveworks Evergreen Park offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
