About Kerianne | She/they/he

Kerianne Stephan is a queer mixed-race Asian-American who received their undergraduate psychology degree abroad at the University of Edinburgh and their master's degree from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. From living in a multitude of different cultural environments, Kerianne has seen how conscious and unconscious values, beliefs, and behaviors can greatly impact the perception and resolution of problems. They are most fulfilled by working with individuals, relationships, and families to open dialogues to unburden some of these internal and external challenges. Kerianne utilizes an integrative systemic therapeutic lens to apply practices and skills that will work best for you. She may often apply methods from parts work (IFS), narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Message to clients

If you're interested in starting your therapeutic journey, please don't hesitate to reach out! I work collaboratively to create and foster a warm, open, and welcoming space for processing your experiences and feedback. I work with a diverse range of clients with a variety of issues pertaining to relationship therapy, chronic illness, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I provide both short-term goal oriented therapy as well as longer term explorative therapy. I strive to continually orient my practice from a place of social justice, cultural humility and free of judgement.
