Hi, I’m Christena Magyk-Bey, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) at Compassionate Edge Counseling in Naperville, Illinois. Life and relationships aren’t always easy. Even the strongest, most capable people can feel unseen, overwhelmed, or burned out from constantly pouring into others. You might feel distance in your relationship, struggle to balance parenting and partnership, or long to reconnect with yourself. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
As a licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I help individuals and couples rebuild connection, communicate with confidence, and create more harmony in their lives. Through my own challenges and growth, I’ve gained wisdom that now guides how I empower others. As a wife and mother, I understand the complexities of family and relationship dynamics. My approach blends compassion, transparency, and authenticity, because meaningful change grows from genuine insight, intention, and support.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought patterns, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to heal relationship wounds, and for couples, the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and build shared goals, and PREPARE/ENRICH for premarital counseling.
Clients often come to me for relationship counseling, stress and burnout recovery, anxiety, and couples therapy. I recognize the weight of pushing forward when stopping isn’t an option. My goal is to help you reclaim your energy, restore your sense of self, and create a life that feels less like survival and more like intentional living. Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, more connected, and more confident in navigating life’s challenges with clarity and purpose. If you’re ready to feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Serving clients in Naperville, Aurora, and Plainfield and across Illinois through secure telehealth.
