Kelly Trawczynski, LMSW (She/Her)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMSW, LCSW
You don't have to stay stuck in cycles of fear, shame, or disconnection. Therapy can be the bridge between surviving and truly living. I specialize in helping adults untangle complex layers of trauma, spirituality, and sexuality so they can reconnect to their truest selves. Whether you’re healing from a traumatic event, exploring your sexuality, working through sexual shame, or soothing a wounded inner child, you are welcome here.
With over eleven years of experience, I draw from specialized training in EMDR, trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), somatic (mind-body) therapy, sex therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and DBT. Together, we’ll address both the emotional and physical imprints of trauma — building skills to calm anxiety, reclaim safety in your body, and rebuild trust in yourself.

Approach Description: “What we don’t let out traps us. We think, ‘No one else feels this way, I must be crazy.’ So we don’t say anything. And we become enveloped by a deep loneliness, not knowing where our feelings come from or what to do with them.” -- Sabrina Ward Harrison

Kelly Trawczynski, LMSW Practice Description
We all carry invisible burdens: shame, fear, old narratives about who we are and what we deserve. These burdens can keep us trapped, disconnected from our truest selves, and hesitant to step fully into our lives. But healing is possible. You don't have to walk through it alone.
In therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s holding you back, uncover the roots of shame or anxiety, and begin the process of rewriting your story. Together, we will work to release what no longer serves you, invite grace and self-compassion into your life, and help you move toward a life of greater freedom and authenticity.
I am licensed as a clinical mental health therapist in Illinois and Michigan. I offer Life Coaching to clients in other states or around the world.
As a telehealth-only therapist, you can begin this journey from the comfort and safety of your own home, on your own terms. Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical or intimidating — it can be a warm, empowering experience that helps you come home to yourself.
