Trauma and PTSD

Jaylan Abd Elrahman

Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills in their lives and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels meaningful and liberating! Dr. Jay works with adolescents and adults who:  * Struggle to manage the stresses of daily life and experience emotional distress, depression, grief and/or anxiety  * Are survivors of complex trauma, interpersonal, generational and/or collective trauma  * Yearn to clarify purpose in life, often exploring existential, spiritual, and identity-based questions   * Seek a space to dream beyond the moment they are in to create new futures for themselves and those they love  * Values justice-oriented, compassionate, and creative relational care

Trauma and PTSD

Summer Stewart, PsyD

Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or like you’re constantly reliving the past. Maybe certain memories, people, or places still trigger you in ways that feel out of your control. If you’re feeling stuck in survival mode, therapy offers a safe space to begin healing. We’ll move at your pace—unpacking the pain, calming your nervous system, and helping you feel safe in your body again. You are not what happened to you—and you don’t have to face it alone.

Trauma and PTSD

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.

Chicago, Illinois therapist: Danielle Keys at Headway, licensed mental health counselor
Trauma and PTSD

Danielle Keys at Headway

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
Trauma is sometimes unknown or related to a specific event in one's life. During the assessment, you'll be asked specific questions in order to capture if there is trauma known in your life. Sometimes trauma is carried around through no fault of the client, however, the client has to choose to do something about it. I use Person-Centered, Dialectical Behavior, or Trauma-Focused CBT approaches with clients. The goal is to help client's express themselves without judgement, to be heard, validated, and encouraged to make choices to minimize and accept certain types of distress.
