Whitney Graff PsyD ABPP
Owner/Founder
I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Psychologist and expert in cognitive-behavioral psychology with nearly 20 years of experience in the field. I earned my Doctorate of Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2014 and have trained and practiced across hospitals, community mental health settings, and private practice.
My work centers on comprehensive psychological assessment, with a particular emphasis on complex diagnostic questions and functional understanding of behavior. In addition to my assessment practice, I teach at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and remain actively engaged in ongoing professional education and training.
