Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Trauma often sits at the core of many emotional and relational challenges, shaping how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. It’s natural for the body and mind to respond to reminders of past experiences as if they are still happening. I work with you to gently process and rework these experiences, so they feel more integrated and rooted in the past rather than the present.

What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness!

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Trauma has a way of living in the body and shaping the way we see ourselves and other long after the vents themselves have passed. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients approach their trauma gently and at their own pace, without having to relive or force anything. The goal is not just to cope, but to genuinely heal, and I'm in it for the long-run.

Online Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions -AZ, IL, OH
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break even long after the event has passed. I provide a grounded, compassionate space to help you understand your nervous system, process painful memories at a pace that feels safe, and rebuild a sense of trust in yourself and others. Using evidence based approaches like CBT and mindfulness‑based strategies, along with faith integrated support for clients who desire it, we work together to reduce triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and create lasting healing. You don’t have to navigate trauma alone — recovery is possible, and you deserve support that honors both your story and your strength.

Ongoing support and therapy aim to facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved well-being.
