About Us

Compassionate Edge, conveniently located near the Fox Valley Mall, provides clinical psychotherapeutic services in Aurora, IL and surrounding cities. Our team of diverse counselors and social workers specializes in treating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life-event changes.

We understand that life can be overwhelming. It’s easy to get lost in the noise that surrounds us and lose sight of yourself and your true path. Work, relationships, and parenting can create stress, anxiety, or feelings of being lost or stuck. While it’s easy to bucket life’s issues into major categories, we recognize your specific work, relationship, or life challenges are unique to your situation. Whatever you’re facing marital stress, academic challenges, a lost job, or divorce, we will help you assess the situation and nurture the behaviors and ways of thinking that enhance your ability to cope and adapt to stress.

Our Compassionate Approach

If you’ve had therapy before but feel you need a more direct and interactive approach, Compassionate Edge may be right for you. Our compassionate, holistic, and evidence informed approach enables the revealing of the underlying processes that contribute to unproductive coping strategies. From licensed therapists with various therapeutic specialties to certified stress management specialists, we work collaboratively with you to construct a personal strategy that creates the change you desire and need. Whether we are working with you in our office or virtually from a private location, we commit to providing a safe space for you to feel comfortable discussing difficult topics.

Our licensed therapists and counselors are professionals in multiple types of therapy. We have the experience to combine different approaches to provide the tools and perspective that your specific situation needs, including:

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and

• Psychodynamic Therapy

These types of therapy can help uncover long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that have held you back. By understanding these patterns, we can lay the foundation for changing them and helping you achieve a more fulfilling and satisfying future.

If you are desiring a change, contact us at info@compassionateedge.com to schedule your first appointment. We have the ideal therapist who can meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey toward a greater sense of self and purpose.
