I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel real, human, and grounded in honest conversation. With experience in community mental health, treatment courts, group work, and clinical supervision, in addition to working with individuals navigating trauma, identity, and personal change. I also teach and mentor future counselors while researching the psychological experiences of individuals living with vitiligo. I bring a little bit of humor into therapy, because let’s face it, in this day and age a little bit of laughing takes stress off our already hectic lives; though when it is time to get serious, we will address all and any issues that may be hindering your pathways of life. My philosophy: “people are more than their labels, and growth begins when people feel seen, heard, and respected.”
Hey there! I’m Briana Kesterson, LCSW.
I’m a licensed therapist offering individual and family therapy in Illinois, supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I have a Bachelor's in Clinical Psychology from the University of Illinois and a Master's in Social Work from Aurora University.
I work with children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self worth struggles. Many of my clients come in feeling “too much” or “not enough” and together, we begin to understand how to better support the parts of you that learned to cope and protect just to survive.

Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Aurora, IL
Finding couples therapists in Aurora starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples counseling in Aurora may support communication patterns, conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotion-focused therapy, in their bios.
In a mid-sized city like Aurora, the right match often depends on both clinical fit and logistics. You may want a therapist in Aurora who offers in-person sessions near home or work, while virtual appointments can make it easier to coordinate two schedules. As you compare options for couples therapy in Aurora, review availability, session structure, and whether the therapist offers a brief initial consultation. Reading bios can also show how each therapist works with partners, handles shared goals, and structures sessions.
Couples therapy in Aurora can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand your estimated session price before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review insurance information, read detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
