Boutique Therapy & Counseling Services for the Fox Valley area & Kane County
Finding a therapist who understands the unique pace of life in the tri-cities area makes a difference. We understand the community we share—from the busy weekends at the Kane County Flea Market to the quiet beauty of the Fox River trails.
We are so proud to serve the diverse communities of Kane County. Whether we are working with families in St. Charles District 303, supporting professionals commuting from the Geneva Metra Station, or helping individuals in the quiet neighborhoods of Wayne and North Aurora, our goal is to provide high-quality care right here in the Fox Valley.

Integrated Wellness & Somatic Healing
While talk therapy is a powerful tool, some healing requires a deeper connection to the body and the subconscious.
WE ARE DIFFERENT from other therapists in St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Wayne, and throughout Kane County because we use specialized techniques that set us apart from the crowd. Specifically, we offer EMDR, heart-centered hypnotherapy, breathwork, polyvagal work, subtle energy healing, and past-life regressions. These tools are an excellent way to accelerate your healing thereby reducing the length of time you need to be in therapy. Through a powerful combination of traditional talk therapy and psychodynamic techniques, we get initial results in weeks versus the many months it normally takes other therapists.

Community Connections
We believe that the best care comes from a provider who is truly woven into the fabric of the community. Our roots in the western suburbs began in Naperville, and since 2019, we have been proud to call the Fox Valley our home and the heart of our practice.
Local Engagement
Active Volunteer: Outside of the office, we commit our time to various local initiatives within Kane County in the very community where our clients live and work. We proudly support the children’s advocacy work of CASA of Kane County, the love of our four-legged friends at the Anderson Humane, and altruistic organizations like Samaritan’s Purse. In 2025, our Founder established the Fox River Community Peace Movement and organized the first ever Interfaith Peace Vigil in Batavia, IL.
Homegrown Perspective: Having grown up in Naperville, our founder, Melissa, understands the unique transition and lifestyle of the western suburbs—from the high-paced energy of the larger suburbs to the community-focused atmosphere of the Tri-Cities.
St. Charles, Geneva & Batavia Focus: since 2019, we have been a frequent presence at local events and believe in staying connected to the local schools (like District 303) and regional resources that our clients rely on.
