Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.4 mi away • Batavia, IL


Welcome! I have 30 years of experience supporting people through a variety of life challenges. I am a trauma-informed therapist and my specialties include helping with anxiety, trauma, stress management, life transitions, and depression. My deep, intuitive understanding includes lived experience, and clinical wisdom that only comes with decades of practice and life.

My approach to therapy includes Somatic-Focused therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Compassion-Focused therapy, Polyvagal-informed, and Psychodynamic therapy. I am also a Certified Yoga Therapist so I am able to integrate the ancient tools of yoga into my work with you if you are interested; breath-based gentle movement, meditation, visualization, etc. The breath is the gateway to the central nervous system--calming and strengthening it is the key to reducing anxiety and healing trauma. This broad approach allows me to meet you where you are at while holding a safe, supportive space for you.

Working with others on their healing journey is my life's passion. We will start by building a strong, supportive relationship; warmth, compassion, and respect are at the very heart of my work. Our sessions will be tailored to fit your specific needs. I understand that seeking help can be difficult and it takes courage to take that first step. I will be honored to join you on your healing journey towards a more joyful life.

Hi, I'm Maurissa.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Saint Charles, IL

Finding therapists in Saint Charles starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. You may also want a therapist with experience in couples therapy, marriage counseling, or a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Reading therapist bios can help you see what each person focuses on, how they describe their style, and whether their background fits what you want to discuss.

Saint Charles is a smaller market, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger parts of Illinois. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Illinois. As you compare St. Charles therapists, consider practical fit as well as clinical fit: appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A profile can also show whether a therapist works with individuals, couples, families, or people looking for faith-informed care, such as Christian counseling.

Therapy in Saint Charles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare virtual or in-person availability in one place. You can browse profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
