TRAUMA-INFORMED THERAPY
CHILDREN, TEENS, & ADULTS
BATAVIA & NAPERVILLE, IL
You didn't expect your life to look like
this.
“I feel stuck and don’t know where to turn.”
“I’ve tried handling this on my own, but it’s not getting better.”
“I hate seeing my kid in so much pain and not know how to help.”
Have you been white-knuckling it for so long that you don’t even remember a time when you truly felt at peace? Have you been trying to cope by trying to convince yourself “It’s in the past” or “I shouldn’t still be affected by that”? Maybe you’ve gotten really good at ignoring it, pushing it down, or looking the other way.
Is the anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional avoidance making your life feel overwhelming? Do you have thoughts that you have to be perfect, that you’re not good enough, or your needs don’t matter? Are you experiencing flashbacks, overreacting to others, or avoiding people or places that remind you of things you don’t want to remember?
Has your child or teen fallen into a downward spiral leaving you feeling overwhelmed? Have they become stoic and seemingly numb to everything that's happened? Are they acting with an 'I don't care' attitude about everything?

Feeling Overwhelmed or Stuck?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN CRISIS TO ASK FOR HELP.
If you’re feeling exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from your life—you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
Some people come to therapy because they know exactly what’s wrong. Others come because something just feels off. Maybe life looks fine on the outside, but inside, everything feels like too much. If you're tired of holding it all together and still feeling like you're falling apart—we’re here to help.
Signs You Might Be Struggling With More Than Just Stress
-
You feel disconnected from your life or your body
-
You keep saying yes when you mean no, and it’s burning you out
-
You’ve been told you’re too sensitive or too emotional
-
You avoid conflict, but your relationships still fall apart
-
You use food, alcohol, scrolling, or staying busy to escape
-
You’ve tried therapy or meds before, but nothing really helped
-
You’re starting to wonder if this isn’t just anxiety or depression
These are signs of unresolved emotional wounds—sometimes trauma. But we don’t expect you to have it all figured out. That’s what we’re here for.
What If the Problem Isn’t You—It’s What Happened to You?
You may not think of yourself as someone who has experienced trauma. But trauma isn't always one big event—it can be years of not feeling seen, of having to hide parts of yourself to feel safe, of never getting the care you needed. Our therapists are trained to recognize and treat the deeper roots of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress—even when you don’t have the words for it yet.
A Different Kind of Therapy Experience
We take a compassionate, whole-person approach. Instead of focusing just on your symptoms, we help you understand why you're feeling the way you are—and how to begin healing from the inside out. Using trauma-informed therapies, we will help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded, and build a life that feels like yours again.
