Where Healing Begins
With Being Heard

Welcome

Do you ever feel overlooked in the noise of everyday life, like you are moving through the day unseen or unheard? If you are reaching out for support, you deserve a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

At Waterford Counseling and Psychological Services, that is what we aim to offer from day one. We provide therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, EMDR therapy, child therapy, teen therapy, couples therapy, LGBTQ therapy, therapy for women, and therapy for men. No matter what brings you in, our therapists take the time to listen, understand what you are carrying, and help you move toward steadier ground.

We also offer a specialized trauma track for clients who want more intensive support, with at least two sessions per week. You’ll work with a primary therapist using EMDR therapy, Brainspotting, or Trauma-Focused CBT, paired with supportive options like trauma-sensitive yoga, mindfulness skills training, or Alpha/Theta neurofeedback. With a dedicated 1,300 sq ft space designed for yoga, play therapy, and child and teen engagement, we’re able to provide a level of integrated care that’s hard to find elsewhere locally.

If you’re looking for support for yourself, your child, your teen, or your relationship, we’re here to help you find a path forward that fits your life. When you’re ready, you can schedule an in-person or online appointment at one of our convenient locations in Aurora, Oswego, or Crest Hill, Illinois.

Testimonials

  • "In counseling sessions with Waterford Counseling and Psychological Services, I felt at ease to just be myself as he never tried to judge me or make me feel inferior. My therapist helped me to improve myself by making use of my natural, positive abilities and talents, rather than emphasizing weaknesses or failures. His gentle demeanor, soothing voice, and genuine compassion helped me to feel relaxed, so I could focus more easily on achieving my goals. At the end of each session, I felt invigorated and good about myself with the expectation that I could overcome my challenges."

    Rodney

  • "Seeing my therapist at Waterford Counseling and Psychological Services in regard to several life issues and challenges proved to be very a good and positive investment. My therapist is an attentive listener who astutely counseled me on how to address and resolve many issues that I was struggling with on a daily basis. My therapist provided me with the coping tools to deal with life challenges, helping me to see clearly the route to take to deal with my life’s stressors. I will forever be grateful to a friend for recommending them to me, as receiving counseling at Waterford has certainly been a very positive experience in my life."

    -Pat

  • "My husband and I hit a very hard time in our marriage. We were dealing with the effects of alcoholism head on after years of denial. Through marriage counseling, our therapist taught us healthy ways in which we could communicate with each other as well as how to work through denial. This not only led to the introduction of positive behaviors in our marriage, but it also allowed us to begin healing from the toxic relationship we created over several years. Today, my husband and I continue to utilize the tools and skills that we learned from our therapist at Waterford. We couldn’t be more thankful for the help we received there."

    -Kristen

  • "I’ve been visiting Waterford Counseling & Psychological Services on and off for about the last five years. My therapist is an intense listener and very compassionate. He has helped me manage extreme life and work stresses. He has helped my wife and myself in raising our teenage boys and helped my entire family cope with the tragic death of my 7-year-old son. My counselor at Waterford helped to fill voids in my life that no friend, colleague, or family member can ever fill. My counselor provided me with real-world, real-life tools to use and practice in life outside the office. At any time the opportunity presents itself, I do not hesitate to recommend them."

    -Jennifer

  • "My counselor's compassion along with her expertise in human behavior allowed me to take steps in my life that I could have never done on my own. She was an unwavering advocate who was always very supportive, while at the same time remaining objective in her observations, as she encouraged me to look at all aspects of my situation. She was a steadfast guide who helped me to make decisions that were best for me."

    -Dan

  • "For well over five years, I have felt very comfortable sharing any problems or concerns that may have been troubling me with our therapist, who is a wonderful listener. He is someone I trust. Waterford Counseling & Psychological Services guided me in a positive direction so that once again I am capable of trusting others in both my personal and professional relationships. I have learned how to listen to others which has ultimately improved my interactions with others. I value my conversations with my therapist very much, and look forward to continue to utilize their services in the future."
