Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD from a trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based perspective. Trauma can result from a single event, repeated experiences, or ongoing stress, and its effects often extend beyond memory—impacting relationships, the nervous system, and daily functioning. In therapy, we move at your pace, focusing on safety, stabilization, and your personal goals.
Our work may include processing traumatic experiences, building coping skills, regulating the nervous system, and strengthening resilience. Therapy is a collaborative space where you can reclaim a sense of safety, reconnect with your body and emotions, and develop strategies to navigate triggers and stressors while honoring your unique experiences. My approach emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and sustainable healing rather than rushing toward “closure” or forcing outcomes.

Anita D. Cohn, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Trauma may be understood in different ways. Professionally, understanding trauma stems from individuals who are seeking help. Another way to learn about trauma is through research or reading. Experiencing personal trauma provides an inside means of understanding and feeling someone's trauma. I combine professional and personal trauma experiences in helping others.

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.
