Dr. Jill M. Baren was unanimously selected by the Lake Forest College Board of Trustees to assume the appointment of the fourteenth president of Lake Forest College. Baren, a medical doctor, educator, and researcher, brings nearly 30 years of academic medicine and higher-education administrative experience as well as a deep appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts to the presidency. Succeeding President Stephen Schutt's 21-year tenure, Baren assumed the presidency in July 2022.
Baren, who previously served as Provost and Vice-President of Academic Affairs at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, became the College's fourteenth president in July 2022. She is the first woman president in the College's history. As an academic leader and physician, she has proven her commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by challenging existing paradigms and positively transforming organizations in which she is involved. "I believe that leadership consistently needs to apply dedicated resources to create an inclusive culture," Baren said.
At University of the Sciences, Baren aided in the creation of several initiatives to improve recruitment and retention of a more diverse faculty. Focusing on issues of social mobility, she also encouraged the development of partnerships with local organizations in Philadelphia to provide underrepresented high school students with visible role models and support for their professional aspirations. When she served as president of the American Board of Emergency Medicine from 2019 to 2020, Baren established the very first diversity, equity, and inclusion task force and succeeded in changing the culture and the composition of the executive committee to 67 percent women and underrepresented minorities in just two years.
Baren's education and passion for the liberal arts began at Brown University, where she studied biochemistry in preparation for medical school. A dedicated learner, she was conscious of balancing out her science courses with social science, arts, and humanities courses. Baren then earned her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh with post-graduate clinical training completed at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. Baren later pursued a Master of Science in medical ethics from University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Brandeis University. Baren's career trajectory has been informed by her strong belief in interdisciplinary skills and pragmatic experience.

Ed earned his Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology (2012) from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. He completed his pre-doctoral internship at Butler University and his postdoctoral fellowship at Northeastern Illinois University. Prior to his graduate studies, Ed received a BA from Illinois Wesleyan University. Ed has trained and worked in a variety of different clinical settings in his career, including a private practice, a community mental health center, and several college counseling centers. He also spent several years working on a psychiatric hospital unit for children, adolescents, and young adults. In these settings, he worked with a diverse range of people with an equally diverse range of reasons for seeking counseling. Ed approaches counseling primarily from a humanistic, person-centered perspective, but also integrates components of existential and psychodynamic theories into his work with clients. As a part of this approach, Ed is sensitive to each person's unique blend of multiple social identities, including race, ethnic background, gender, sexual identity, ability, SES, and religious background, and how these various identities contribute to an individual's overall sense of self. Ed's areas of interest and specialty are depression, loss and mourning, identity development, trauma, crisis, and interpersonal relationships. In addition to his clinical work, Ed is also highly committed to supervision and training of future members of the helping fields. His approach to training is developmental and informed by his humanistic perspective. Accordingly, Ed believes that the training relationship is paramount and must be characterized by trust and collaboration, which allows trainees to feel both supported and challenged to pursue the goals they set for themselves.

Erica Pinney, M.Ed., is a Doctoral Candidate in the Counseling Psychology Ph.D. program at Loyola University Chicago with an anticipated graduation in the Summer of 2024. Prior to the Ph.D., Erica completed a Masters of Education in Community Counseling from Loyola University Chicago in 2019 and undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Religious Studies from Arizona State University. Erica's clinical experiences include providing individual, couples, and group therapy in a college counseling center, community mental health centers, and group practice, as well as conducting outpatient neuropsychological testing.

This means that Erica focuses on each individual while also understanding that unique contexts, identities, and oppressions often impact a student's current mental health and well-being. Erica believes that the therapeutic relationship, built through genuine acceptance and non-judgement is crucial for client's to feel heard, respected, and able to make their own choices. Erica's areas of interest and specialty are trauma (including relationship/family trauma, immigration trauma, and racial trauma), anxiety, identity development and exploration, adjustment, and academic and career concerns. Outside of Erica's work/student life, she likes to read, attempt to create art and craft projects (largely failing) and spend time with family and friends.

Kasey earned her M.S. (2011) and Ph.D. (2013) in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. She completed her doctoral internship at the Colorado State University Health Network and her postdoctoral fellowship at Roosevelt University's Counseling Center. Prior to her graduate work, Kasey received a B.A. from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, where she majored in Psychology and received minors in Spanish and Mathematics. Beyond her work in multiple college counseling centers, Kasey also has previous clinical experience in private practice and outpatient mental health clinic settings. She enjoys engaging in the wide variety of responsibilities and relationships that come with working in the college setting, including providing counseling services, supervision/training, outreach, and consultation to the campus community. In addition to enjoying working with individuals, Kasey has a passion for both group and couples counseling. Some of her other clinical interests include life transition and adjustment, relational struggles, identity development, self-esteem, gender concerns, autism spectrum disorders, stress management, and alcohol and other drug use concerns. Her approach to counseling stems from client-centered and interpersonal process theories. She believes that clients can begin to make the changes they want in their lives through building a supportive relationship with a therapist who is genuine, authentic, and empathic. When a therapist creates a space in which clients feel safe enough to sit with uncomfortable emotions, clients are able to begin to be more authentic and congruent themselves. Kasey takes a developmental approach to supervision and training, which is influenced by her client-centered and interpersonal style. She believes that the foundation of the supervisory relationship creates the opportunity for growth and further development as a psychologist in training. Most importantly, she strives to be her authentic self and create a space in which trainees can be their authentic selves, developing their own voices and identifying who they are and want to be as a psychologist.
