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.

PTSD/Trauma
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.

Trauma doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s shaped by relationships, community, and larger social systems.

Together, we focus on reclaiming safety, resilience, and agency while navigating the complex ways trauma shows up in the body, mind, and relationships.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma doesn’t always come from one big event—small, repeated experiences can quietly shape how safe, seen, or steady you feel in the world. In our work, we create a supportive space to notice these patterns, understand how they affect your relationships and sense of self, and gently foster healing. Approached with curiosity and care, you can find greater safety, insight, and self-understanding.

One of my primary specialties is helping clients work through early childhood trauma, and many of the clients who I work with have had experiences early in their lives that affect their relationships and day-to-day experiences in the present. I work with clients to gain insight regarding the role of past trauma in their present-day lives and help develop strategies to manage this.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals carrying the weight of past trauma, painful relationships, and experiences that still live in the body as anxiety, numbness, or feeling constantly on guard. I bring compassion and relief to the places that feel stuck or overwhelmed. . My goal is to offer a steady, caring space where you don’t have to do it alone and where healing becomes possible not just in your mind, but in your body and relationships too.
