What happens when our well-intentioned - yet sometimes uncooperative - brains try to protect us from experiencing harm? Yup, you got it! It's called Stress, also known as Anxiety, and at times it can be quite the nuisance. You are welcome to join me on a journey of knowledge and self-discovery to recognize and appreciate how our brain and bodies have helped us survive the personal challenges and struggles life presents. And then, let's help our brain recognize that, when we are actually safe, we don't need to go into stress mode, and we can learn how to direct Anxiety to take a seat until it is next needed. Often times, Anxiety's friends, Depression and Trauma, love to join the party (uninvited). Together, we can learn to appreciate them as well, while sending them on their way. Along the way, let's tap into a bit of Grace and Self-Compassion. Let's also identify the multitude of Strengths and Resources in place, and use them to move from a Fear-Based response, to one of Courage.

Practiced behaviors often evolve into generational patterns. Unfortunately, cycles of trauma that are normalized within families can begin to feel inescapable. Like an invisible illness, we sense something is wrong—we feel it in our bodies, see it in our behaviors—yet we struggle to name it, trace its origins, or know how to heal. In these patterns, we may even learn to equate abuse with love, clinging to those who hurt us because it's what we've known. Growing up in unhealthy environments alters how we see the world. Over time, we adopt coping strategies, protective habits, and emotional defenses to shield ourselves from re-experiencing deep mental and emotional pain. But these very mechanisms, while once useful, eventually shape how we relate to others—repeating the very harm we hoped to escape. I’m Loryn Chás (Chase), a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals break through the barriers of generational trauma and self-doubt. I specialize in supporting clients as they dismantle unhealthy cycles and reclaim their lives through a holistic, empowering approach.

Sometimes the body is the first indicator that it's time to deal with our trauma. When this happens, the feelings that arise can be overwhelming and scary. The good news is, you don't have to deal with them alone. In the words of Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score: “Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.” My role in this process is to help you understand the origin of these thoughts and gently escort you into a new future.

Aside from family trauma repetitions, dealing with all the recent changes in the world can also be a source of stress and anxiety. When we meet, we’ll dive into all these stressors and establish a plan for self-care that will assist you in letting go of negative thoughts and feelings and move towards a space of more optimism.

Being an adult can sometimes feel like you're on a roller coaster ride! Life isn't linear - it involves twists, turns, ups, and downs. We might feel "stuck" on the ride and aren't quite sure how to navigate getting off of it. Or we may find our “downs” might make us feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck. The "ups" might be exciting, but may also come with their own sets of stressors. We might want to get off the ride or take a gentler one, but not know how. And that's okay! Therapy can help. Life doesn't have to feel like you're going on a thrill ride every day - you can get on a gentler ride. Of course, we don't always know how to get off the ride or swap seats for a gentler ride (like the "kiddie roller coaster"). That's where I come in! I'm here to support you with the challenges you might be facing in life, offer you a space to reflect or process, plus find new ways to cope so you don't feel like you're on a thrill ride every day.

Hello, my name is Chelsea, and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois. I graduated in 2019 from Clarke University with my Master's of Social Work. I spent my undergraduate years shadowing and volunteering at a sexual assault and domestic violence advocacy center. I completed research in the areas of trauma, decision making, and intimate relationships. I completed a job shadow with a Victim Witness Coordinator, where I also conducted a year long research project on domestic violence in rural communities. During that time I completed an internship at a combined homeless shelter and food pantry. I then completed a secondary internship at a local community mental health center. I spent four years working at that same local community mental health center where I provided crisis services, individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. I was able to earn my license during that time. I transitioned into school based social work and provided case management and therapy services in the local school setting.
