Anxiety Therapy

  • Anxiety can feel like your mind is always racing, your chest is tight, and you can't fully relax. It might show up as restlessness, overthinking, or avoiding situations that feel overwhelming.

  • Some common experiences of anxiety include:

    • Feeling restless, irritable, or on edge

    • Sweating or trembling

    • Feeling weak or tired

    • Sleep disturbance (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep)

    • Trouble concentrating

    • Having difficulty controlling worry

    • Experiencing an urge to avoid things that cause anxiety

Trauma Therapy

  • Trauma isn’t just about what happened to you it’s also about how your mind and body adapted in order to cope. You might feel on edge, shut down, disconnected, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve you. At Through Therapy, we approach trauma with compassion, curiosity, and care.

    • Feel triggered or overwhelmed by reminders of the past

    • Struggle to regulate emotions or feel numb

    • Experience anxiety, shame, or fear in close relationships

    • Notice chronic tension, sleep issues, or emotional outbursts

    • Avoid situations that feel unsafe, even if they aren't threatening

    • Difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries

  • Our trauma therapy in Chicago and online helps you reconnect with safety, process experiences at your own pace, and restore a sense of wholeness. We draw on attachment-based and experiential approaches to support healing not just at the cognitive level, but in your body and relationships too.
