As an African American woman from Chicago, I understand how one can be impacted by their surroundings and how gaining new experiences can teach one how to maneuver through life's challenges.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience providing therapy to adults and adolescents. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery, helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore emotions, rediscover strengths, and begin building lasting emotional wellness.
I earned my Master’s in Child and Family Social Work from the University of Illinois. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based strategies, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change in their lives.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s an act of courage and self-care. Together, we’ll work toward creating balance, healing, and growth. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered to live with confidence and emotional clarity.

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.

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
