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.

Your experience with me will always be grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Downers Grove
Searching for therapists in Downers Grove starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Downers Grove therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for couples and marriage counseling.
In a smaller local market like Downers Grove, nearby in-person options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Illinois. Before booking, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Downers Grove can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, check your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you are 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.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
