Trauma Doesn't Just Go Away

Something terrible happened. Whether it happened recently or years ago, it’s clear that the trauma is still with you. Maybe you tried to convince yourself that you could simply shake it off but sadly, traumatic experiences have a way of sticking around.

Trauma has a profound impact on how your brain works. It influences how you experience the world around you. Triggers can come from anywhere, which can leave you feeling scared, anxious, depressed and worried things won't get any better.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, ruminating thoughts and an inability to regulate your mood, you may be experiencing the effects of trauma resulting in PTSD.

Experienced Trauma Counselors in Your Corner

At Elevate Counseling, we recognize that no two people are the same – and similarly – no two traumatic situations are identical. Our team brings years of specialized experience in PTSD counseling and an understanding that a personalized approach to PTSD therapy is key. While each treatment requires a unique & customized approach, our trauma therapy typically includes EMDR therapy in order to help desensitize certain traumatic experiences. This method is not only about coping but reshaping your brain’s reaction to trauma and PTSD. At times, more traditional methods of anxiety and depression counseling can do the trick – it all depends on the individual.

When you choose Elevate for trauma therapy in Chicago, you’re taking the first, vital step on your path toward recovery. Our goal is to restructure your response to trauma and effectively process the hardships you've endured.
