Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
I utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help you identify traumatic wounds and begin your healing journey. Trauma work is incredibly worthwhile but can be taxing, so we will move at the pace that feels safe and manageable for you. We explore the full scope of your life, as you are more than your traumatic experiences; we focus both on what has happened in the past, and how to live your life now in a way that feels fulfilled, peaceful, and balanced.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—but healing is possible. If you find yourself stuck in patterns of fear, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help you process those painful memories and regain a sense of peace. I specialize in trauma-informed care using EMDR to support individuals in moving beyond past experiences and reclaiming their lives.

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.

Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma, including women who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual violence, or other forms of interpersonal harm. Trauma can affect far more than our memories of what happened; it can shape how we experience our bodies, relationships, emotions, and sense of safety long after the immediate danger has passed. My approach integrates mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients gently reconnect with themselves while developing a greater sense of safety, agency, and trust. We move at a pace that respects each person’s readiness, creating space to process painful experiences without becoming defined by them. Together, we work to understand the ways trauma may continue to influence thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior, while developing tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and healthy boundaries. My goal is not to erase what happened, but to help clients reclaim a sense of choice and connection, develop compassion for the ways they have learned to survive, and move toward a life that feels more expansive, secure, and fully their own.
