Stephanie Carrera, PhD, ABPP

I am a board-certified psychologist in Illinois and offer individual psychotherapy in Chicago and Evanston, IL; I also provide telehealth across PSYPACT states. I help young adults understand the intersections of their thoughts, feelings, and actions to promote wellbeing. I offer an active and empowering space to navigate issues such as anxiety, low mood, family conflict, identity confusion, and cultural transitions. I also provide psychotherapy/coaching for work and school-related stress, low motivation, attention difficulties, and time management. People working with me will learn how their life experiences affect their ability to cope with challenges effectively. Identifying as Ecuadorian-American, I am bilingual and bicultural. I have also lived abroad; these experiences and my identity as a woman of color working in several professional settings fuel my empathy for people navigating cultural/social pressures at home, work, and school. I fuse psychotherapy with advocacy alongside people who feel silenced and marginalized. I completed my clinical training (Postdoctoral Fellowship) at Northwestern University and my Doctoral Internship at the University of California, Berkeley.
