Getting to know Dr. Marquita Stokes
Do you ever feel broken? Has tragedy taken your ability to feel joy? Has anxiety stolen your peace of mind? Has trauma robbed you of the resiliency you once possessed? Have the dynamics in your relationships grown from compassionate and communicative to conflictual and constricted? Has your identity been tested, oppressed, or discriminated against? If so, your overall sense of wellness and effectiveness in life may be wavering. I believe our most optimum level of wholeness is related to the degree of wellness across all areas of life that make us who we are—individual, relational, mental, emotional, spiritual, and societal.
My clients call me Dr. M! I earned my PhD and Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Northwestern University. My goal is to help clients unify these experiences into a beneficial narrative by optimizing personal strengths and growing areas of vulnerability to effectively navigate life’s challenges. In addition, I help clients understand underlying patterns that may limit overall functioning and empower them to become powerful change agents in their own lives.
My professional background includes experiences in hospital, community mental health, and private practice settings. I provide flexible and culturally competent care for adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, identity development, and pediatric psychology.
If you’re interested, feel free to book an initial session or a free 15-minute consultation to learn more about our fit together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Sessions with me always involve time and space for you to safely and confidentially express anything that's on your mind, process any obstacles to your progress, psychoeducation to enhance your ability to identify what's causing you distress, and lastly problem solving and insight into best coping methods for improving your own wellness. Over time, my clients experience greater empowerment in making decisions that are effective in improving your mental health as well as being equipped with evidence-based coping strategies to manage your stressors.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
