I get it — because I’ve lived it, both professionally and personally.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over two decades in the corporate world, most of it in consulting, helping people and organizations improve performance and well-being. I also built and ran a company of my own, so I understand firsthand the pressure, high stakes, and constant push to hold it all together that come with building something from the ground up.

And in my own relationships, I know what it takes to communicate honestly, navigate conflict, and stay connected — the same things I help my clients work through.

I work with individuals and couples of all ages on anxiety, depression, burnout, executive and career stress, life transitions, relationship issues, and communication skills. I’m deeply focused on the connection between physical and mental health — sleep, movement, nutrition, purpose, and connection aren’t side notes to me, they’re central to how I think about wellbeing.

I hold a BA in Psychology, a Master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and an MSW, but what matters most is how I show up: fully present, genuinely empathetic, and committed to being real with my clients — even when honesty is the harder thing to offer.

Outside the office, I’m a long-distance runner, a music lover, a cook, and a lifelong collector of sports and trading cards.

Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi! My name is Stephanie Harris and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor from Vermont, but currently living in Chicago. I am happy to help you with whatever you are facing in life right now. I work with individual adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, abuse, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and more. I have specialized training in helping people recover from trauma. Trauma can have a profound effect on how people view the world and relate to others, which is why a trauma-informed approach to treatment can be very helpful. I will help people heal from their painful and distressing experiences so they are able to feel more safe and secure in the world now. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, and a Doctorate in Psychology from Roosevelt University. I have experience working in private practice, crisis centers, in-patient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, and primary care clinics. I have worked with adults, couples, people with developmental disabilities, survivors of sexual abuse, people of the Latinx population, couples with infertility issues, and people facing deportation. I believe these experiences have helped me find multiple ways to connect with others and help them reach their goals.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Ideally clients book with me looking to heal and move forward in life when they’re feeling “stuck in neutral”. My expertise extends to addressing a range of mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression and PTSD, OCD, developmental and behavioral issues. I provide personalized therapeutic approaches to foster resilience and emotional growth in my clients. Through empathy, communication, and evidence-based interventions, I tend to create a safe space for individuals to process their experiences, build confidence and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I have experience working with individuals as young as 6 to 55 years of age.

I am a therapist specialized in working with children, adolescents and adults. I am skilled in helping individuals navigate through the emotional and psychological impacts of trauma. I help individuals gain their voices back. With my extensive experience in family therapy, I work to strengthen family dynamics and support healing within the home as well.

Therapeutically; I understand that certain circumstances or life events may have impacted you, however I believe your past shouldn’t control your future. “Just like history; your story continues”, meaning don’t let anything or anyone end your story for you. “In order to see progress, you have to trust the process and believe you will overcome these hurdles”.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Aurora

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.
