PTSD/Trauma
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Trauma and PTSD can leave lasting effects that show up in thoughts, emotions, and the body—often long after the original experience has passed. Many people feel stuck in patterns of fear, self-blame, or hypervigilance, even when they understand logically that they’re no longer in danger. In therapy, I offer a steady, compassionate space to make sense of these responses, helping you understand how trauma shaped both your beliefs about yourself and your sense of safety in the world.
My approach to trauma healing weaves together insight, somatic body-based practices, and Emotion-Focused Tapping (EFT). We work gently with the body to release stored stress while also addressing the beliefs that trauma leaves behind—such as feeling powerless, unsafe, or unworthy. True healing happens when both the mind and body are included in the process. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and a renewed sense of control, allowing life to feel more grounded, connected, and whole again.

Naperville is one of the wealthiest and most highly educated mid-size cities in the United States, a Chicago suburb in DuPage County with a concentration of technology, finance, and pharmaceutical professionals and a highly achievement-oriented community culture that shapes the mental health concerns of residents across all ages. Anxiety is among the most common presenting issues in Naperville therapy practices—among both children and adults—driven by intense academic pressure on students, high professional expectations on working parents, and the status-consciousness of a community where success is the expected norm. A well-developed private therapy sector reflects the community's means and generally positive attitude toward mental health support, and Naperville residents also have easy access to Chicago's much larger therapy market via Metra rail. Common therapy concerns also include parenting stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and perfectionism across the full arc of life.
