When Relationships Matter

Satisfying love and work, living our values, enjoying healthy marriage, personal and work relationships is what we want for our lives.

When we struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship conflict, grief, anger, infidelity, separation or divorce, money or job loss issues, cultural and interfaith differences, family, midlife, aging or parenting difficulties, often a guide who understands can help us deal with what is troubling us.

Sheldon and Raye Isenberg have been married and practicing individual, marriage and work related counseling for over 40 years. We know what it takes to achieve satisfying personal and business relationships, as between us we have spent thousands of hours with thousands of clients, helping through individual counseling, marriage counseling, psychotherapy, coaching and consulting.

Shelly and Raye founded a well-regarded Naperville counseling practice in 1980, sold it in 2008, and now practice solely through Isenberg Counseling, LLC in downtown Naperville in Chicago’s western suburbs. There we practice individual adult counseling, marriage or couple’s counseling, goal-specific life coaching and offer pre-marital and pre-family consultations. Business people in corporations and family businesses find us helpful in consulting on the conflicted relationships getting in the way of business satisfaction and success.
