Trauma and PTSD
Best Therapies, Inc.

There are three main types of trauma: Acute, Chronic, or Complex. Acute trauma results from a single incident. Chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged such as domestic violence or abuse. Complex trauma is exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature. Sometimes people experience post traumatic responses to adverse childhood experiences, a single event or living as marginalized identities in our society. That is, some people experience trauma response by dealing with recurring microaggressions, discrimination, bullying from individuals, communities and macro aggressions such as systemic oppression. We need to consider the impact traumatic experiences have on our mind, body and overall experience as a human navigating uncertain and challenging times.

Susan Killelea
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Sex Therapist
I use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy interventions and mindfulness techniques to assist clients in addressing anxiety, stress and trauma in their lives. This approach helps clients abandon restrictive strategies and instead experience and accept difficult thoughts and feelings as a necessary part of a worthy life.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Trauma is not defined by what happened, but by the impact it has on you. It can live in both the mind and body as a wound that hasn’t fully healed, or that keeps getting reopened when something triggers memories, sensations, emotions, or protective survival responses. You may be carrying the effects of a single-event trauma, such as a car accident, assault, medical trauma, or the sudden loss of a loved one. Or you may be healing from repeated experiences over time, such as childhood abuse, emotionally abusive relationships, chronic invalidation, or long-term stress that shaped how you see yourself and relate to others.
I help adults process what happened so they can stop feeling haunted, stuck, or controlled by the past and begin living more fully and confidently in the present. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but privately struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, hypervigilance, shame, emotional numbness, or feeling “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
In addition to talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a well-researched and effective treatment for PTSD and trauma. I also integrate parts work (Internal Family Systems/ego state), attachment-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic and nervous system-based approaches to support deep healing and lasting change. For clients who are looking for something more transformational, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which can be especially helpful when you feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from yourself, or when traditional therapy hasn’t gone far enough. My goal is to help you build self-trust, feel more grounded in your body, and move forward with clarity and strength.

Trauma and PTSD
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
What happened to you changed you. Maybe it was a single event. Maybe it was years of experiences that accumulated into a weight you've carried ever since. You might have flashbacks or nightmares. Or it might be subtler than that: a numbness, a difficulty trusting, a way of moving through the world always slightly on guard. Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind, and healing requires more than just talking about what happened. Our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed care that helps you process these experiences without retraumatizing you in the process. You can heal from this. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Trauma can have surprising and destabilizing impacts on so many areas of one's life. Understandably so, because it can be scary and painful to talk about, it can often go unexplored, hiding the ways in which it's impacted a person. I work with folks to provide a space where we attempt to understand traumatic experiences they've been through and the various ways that trauma has impacted them.

Trauma and PTSD
Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD by providing a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space to process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Trauma can impact thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the sense of safety in the world, and may show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or emotional numbing. In therapy, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help identify and work through unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma, along with supporting coping skills and emotional regulation. The focus is on reducing the ongoing impact of trauma, strengthening resilience, and helping you move forward with a greater sense of safety, control, and self-understanding.
