Steff Du Bois, PhD, (he/they) is a clinician with their own private practice, and assistant professor of psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). He has published thirty-seven peer-reviewed manuscripts, and spoken at numerous national and international psychology conferences. Du Bois was the recipient of a $25,000 Educational and Research Initiative Fund Grant from IIT in 2021, to create and test the effectiveness of a "self-compassion app" to improve health among those newly diagnosed with HIV. After receiving his doctorate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he now leads the Du Bois Health Psychology Laboratory, where he mentors graduate and undergraduate psychology students, and conducts health psychology research on topics such as health equity and health in romantic relationships, using community-based participatory research approaches.

“Steff Du Bois gives us a witty, funny, honest, and wildly helpful book of therapeutic gems that will fuel self-reflection, growth, compassion, and better mental health. Their approach is the best possible fusion of a well-trained therapist, a wise mentor, and a friend you text at midnight. We will all be better off spending some time with this glorious and insightful book.”—Breanne Fahs, author of Burn It Down! and Women, Sex, and Madness
