Katherine “Kayce” Hyde Brott, Ph.D.

Kayce takes a person-centered approach which emphasizes each client’s unique values, strengths, and cultural background and flexibly tailors evidenced-based interventions to fit each client and their presenting concerns.

Kayce earned her doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Arkansas and relocated to the Chicagoland area for her predoctoral internship, which she completed at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital. During her training, she specialized in working with difficult to treat psychopathology and received extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other third-wave cognitive-behavioral approaches. Kayce is passionate about working with adolescents,  adults, and couples, and her style is characterized by warmth, empathy, genuineness, and humor.   Kayce firmly believes in celebrating the wonderful complexity and multitudes her clients contain and collaborating with her clients in their care. 

The science of therapy is what first drew me to this profession, the idea that through vulnerable conversations and brave action that people could find recovery and healing. Through my experiences walking alongside my clients, I also have come to believe that art of psychotherapy is continuing to lean in, be willing to be wrong, and to seek understanding and connection. A client once shared this quote with me that I think embodies this well: “If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.
