Dr. Bae earned her doctorate from the University of Chicago, her masters from Columbia University, and her bachelors from the University of California at Berkeley. As an active member of the American Psychological Association, Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), Society for Psychotherapy Research and the Asian American Psychological Association, Dr. Bae has been actively involved in psychotherapy research because she recognizes the importance of using empirically-supported treatments in her clinical practice. Currently, Dr. Bae is the President-Elect of the Illinois Psychological Association (IPA).
 

 

Adept at research-supported therapies, Dr. Bae consistently strives to deliver expert treatment with a caring, individualized approach.

Deeply committed to providing culturally sensitive assessment and treatment, Dr. Bae carefully considers the context of the child and his or her environment. She strongly believes that to work competently with clients from diverse backgrounds, psychologists must have an understanding of and sensitivity to diverse ethnic cultures, value systems and world views. It is her belief that clinicians must understand people within the context of the systems in which they function (i.e., families, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, political views, physical difference, and nationality) in order to provide the client with the most effective treatment.
