Steff Du Bois, PhD

My personal and professional values are diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am an LGBTQ+ Psychologist, specifically a queer, gender nonconforming male. I work with individuals, couples, and other relationship arrangements - both within and outside the community. 

 

As an Assistant Professor of Psychology at The Illinois Institute of Technology, I conduct research on health equity and health in romantic relationships, frequently using community-based participatory research methods. I teach classes related to diversity, health, and psychotherapy. I also have a psychotherapy private practice, with office locations downtown and in Edgewater. Currently, I see patients virtually. 

 

I was born in the western suburbs of Chicago, growing up both there and in southwestern Michigan. I attended the University of Michigan, earning my B.A. in Psychology; the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; and, The Family Institute at Northwestern University, as a Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in couple/relationship therapy. I've trained in Veterans Affairs hospitals for multiple years, focusing on trauma and substance use.

I am a tennis player and plant lover - with over 150 plants and trees in my home.
