Steff Du Bois, PhD

My personal and professional values are diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. I am a multi-racial, LGBTQ+ Psychologist. My pronouns are he/they. I work with people from all communities - individuals, couples, other relationship arrangements, and families.

 

As an Associate Professor of Psychology at The Illinois Institute of Technology, I conduct research on health equity and health in romantic relationships. I frequently use community-based participatory research methods. I teach classes related to diversity, health, and psychotherapy. I also have a psychotherapy private practice, where 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 BA in Psychology; the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning my PhD 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.
