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.

Trauma and PTSD
Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
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.

Trauma and PTSD
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.

Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Trauma can leave lasting imprints on your mind and body, affecting how you feel, think, relate to others, and navigate daily life long after the event has passed. Our clinicians provide compassionate treatment appropriate to your comfort level, to help you process traumatic experiences and reclaim your sense of safety and control. Healing from trauma doesn't mean forgetting what happened—it means reducing its power over your present and future. With the right support, you can move beyond survival mode, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and create a life no longer defined by your past.
