Welcome to our Practice

We are licensed psychologists and therapists with several years of experience providing outpatient therapy and counseling services to children, adolescents and adults in Naperville, Illinois.

We view the therapeutic process as collaborative, one in which we offer understanding and support to provide space for clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the courage to work toward making meaningful changes in their lives.

Our style is one of warmth, empathy, humor and insight-oriented methods that we combine with evidenced-based therapeutic interventions tailored to fit each client's unique needs and treatment goals.

Our Philosophy

With its ability to bend and respond to even extraordinary pressures, the willow tree is one of nature’s most inspiring accomplishments. With this tremendous power to adapt, they can grow and thrive even under adverse conditions.

We see this same strength within each of us. As your clinician, we believe it is our role to provide support that empowers you to bend and adapt to your own personal environment, while creating greater self-awareness, fulfillment, and confidence.

Sister Heard Logo Sister Heard - Women Connecting With Women

Sister Heard is a support group where women from diverse backgrounds can come together and connect around issues impacting all aspects of wellness – social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Participants can share honestly about everyday challenges as well as the resilience we find within ourselves and one another. The group strives to support each other through the ups, the downs, and everything in between. Common themes that tend to arise include self-care, self-image, family relationships, friendships, stress, health, and spirituality. Sister Heard is facilitated by Dr. Jenna Kiel, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a background in trauma and health psychology, and Ellen Beaulieu, a certified animal-assisted therapist and life coach. Groups will be hosted at Blue Sky Farm, which provides a unique opportunity to both give and receive support while also connecting participants with animals on the farm. Who doesn't love baby goats??

The group meets on Friday per month: 6/14, 7/12, 8/23, 9/20 and 10/4 from 3:30-5:30pm at Blue Sky Farm at 8S890 Mighell Road in Sugar Grove.

Please contact Jenna at jennakiel@kielpsych.com prior to the day of group if you are interested in attending. While coming to all of the groups is helpful for consistency and building trust among participants, it is not required. The cost is $100 per session.

Is therapy right for me?

Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives.

Except in very specific circumstances, conversations with your therapist are confidential. However, a therapist may break confidentiality if there is an immediate threat to safety or when required by state or federal law to report concerns to authorities.
