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.

I am accepting new clients. Please message me to set up a consultation phone call so we can discuss fit and scheduling.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist and ADHD specialist, I help individuals and couples improve their relationships and manage challenges related to communication, ADHD, parenting, and daily stress. Relationships play a big role in our well-being—they can bring closeness and joy, but also tension and disconnection. In therapy, I’ll help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, let go of what isn’t working, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections. I also support individuals in handling the demands of work, parenting, and relationships with more balance and confidence.

Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. I’ve been counseling children, teens, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years - but in my experience, that’s not really what you want to know. What you really want to know is, can I help you? And is there hope for things to change for you? As a matter of fact, there is, and I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to take that journey towards healing and empowerment with you. We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

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, IL

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.
