Meet Caitlin
I’m Caitlin, an EMDR-trained Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Illinois, and specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
Whether your recovering from a toxic relationship or another form of trauma, you may find yourself struggling to make sense of what happened. You’re left feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. You might be carrying trauma in your body — tightness in your chest, churning stomach, trouble sleeping, or that sense that something just isn’t right. The path to healing feels daunting — but you don’t have to face it alone.
My goal is to create a space where you can safely explore what you’ve been through, at your own pace. I primarily use EMDR and integrate other trauma-informed therapeutic techniques to meet your unique needs. My work integrates EMDR with elements of somatic therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy and attachment-based approaches to support healing on multiple levels.
During our work together, I’ll support you in rebuilding the self-confidence and inner trust that may have been shaken by painful relationships, trauma, or other challenging experiences. Confronting the past can be scary and confusing, but it’s also the first step toward lasting change. When you feel ready, I’m here to walk with you toward inner healing.

Meet Hannah
Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’m an EMDR Trained, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. Maybe you're weighed down by memories you want to shake. You want to connect with a partner, but the same negative patterns keep playing out in your romantic life. A good night's sleep is rare, the tightness and stress in your shoulders is constant, but you have trouble pinning down what it stems from. And maybe you're ready to make changes now, even if you don't know exactly where to start. I'll walk with you as we collaborate to find the best way to work through your challenges. I'm confident that through our time, you'll start feeling better.
I use tools that support healing from trauma (EMDR), creating healthier relationships (Emotion Focused Therapy, Attachment-based therapy), and reducing stress and anxiety (Mindfulness, CBT). My approach to therapy is integrative; I'll pull from a variety of clinical experiences, trainings, and resources that we can use to improve your emotional health.
I believe that it doesn't have to be this way; that healing, and emotional and mental well-being are possible with the right kind of support. That’s why I meet clients from the perspective of “what has happened to lead to these challenges?”
I'm passionate about helping people move through pain, expand their self-awareness, and to feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges. I’m also able to integrate faith and spirituality into psychotherapy for clients that request it, as I believe faith and healing can be deeply connected.
It’s an honor to work with you, and I believe that healing is possible. I offer you warmth, honesty, and support in this journey, and I’ll be with you every step of the way. I know it’s hard to reach out, but don’t force yourself to keep managing this alone. Schedule a free phone consultation, and let’s start working toward your mental health today!
