Trauma Therapy

You Deserve to be Free and Happy. You Can Win The Battle Over Trauma. You’re Not Alone.

We’re waiting for you… with a warm cup of tea.

You didn’t choose a troublesome childhood. You didn’t ask for a traumatic event to happen to you. But, now, you are choosing to take action. You can heal. Today, you can choose to take a step forward.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You have the power to choose how you will live the rest of your life.

You are doing well in life. Most people probably have no idea what you have gone through in the past. Most people have no idea the feelings and memories you wrestle with on a daily basis.

Maybe you thought you had healed emotionally, but you have felt triggered by current events or turmoil in today’s news? Are you struggling with chronic anxiety? You either feel numb about what happened or are in a constant state of hyperarousal.

You want to feel in control of your life. You want to trust and be close to people in your life. You knew it would take time to heal, but maybe you didn’t realize how much time it would take to feel free and back to “your old self.”

While you’re managing to get through, some days leave you gasping for air. Every minute feels like an eternity. You want to run away, but anywhere you go, there you are. You know you need to heal to be really free.

You have the courage to seek help. You’re doing the best you can. You already know with counseling, your life can be so much better.

The Pain and Anxiety End Here. You Can Take Your Life Back. Give Us a Call Today.

The benefits you’ll see from doing trauma therapy at Inspire:

– You will feel heard, understood, and respected
– You will learn what “triggers” you and how to manage those “triggers”
– You will begin to feel the healing and be in control of your life
– You will be empowered to say no or speak up for yourself
– You will start to feel freedom and peace
– You will be able to be present with the people you love
– You will feel confident in your decisions
– You will feel confident in yourself
– Your relationships will be closer and more satisfying
– You will know you matter, just for being you

What does the counseling process look like?

The counseling process is designed to help you understand and empower you to live your best life, free of the triggers and traumatic memories that hold you back. Together, with your therapist, you will learn how to address the things that trigger you. Learn coping skills to do at home, and ways to reduce the physical symptoms of constant stress and worry.

The first session will be approximately 60 minutes. There will be paperwork to complete and questions the therapist will ask to get to know you, your history, and your present situation. The second session (and all remaining will be 50-55 minutes long). In the second session, we use our unique formula for goal-setting. You will get a chance to connect the desires of your goals with your heart and deeper desires in this life. The remainder of the sessions will then be working on skills to tackle your memories and any obstacles in the way of you living your best life.

In order to see lasting results, a commitment to at least 8 weekly sessions is best. We are flexible and can work with different situations. However, to make an impact, it is important to recognize that change of any kind, requires attention and time. After your 8 sessions, you can work with your therapist to determine the next steps (reducing therapy to biweekly/monthly or terminating).

How much does therapy cost?

Counseling is a fee-for-service program. Inspire accepts insurance and offers in-network and out-of-network benefits. We are in-network with BCBS PPO, Humana, Aetna, and United Behavior Healthcare. We recommend at least an 8-week commitment to begin seeing lasting results.

Our Therapist Matchmakers are here to find the right fit with the right professional for your unique situation and personality style.

To talk to a LIVE human (and part of our Inspire intake team!) just call us at (847) 919-9096 ext. 1 or email hello@inspirecounselingcenter.com

We can’t wait to help you find the right match and get you started!! It’s our favorite part.

What will the first session be like?2023-10-25T02:13:43-05:00

The first session lasts approximately 60 minutes. You’ll have paperwork to complete virtually before your session. The therapist will spend time introducing themselves and getting to know you, your story and your dreams. At the end, you’ll have the option to schedule your next session based upon your availability and goals. There is no pressure to book another session. We’re here for you to come and go as you need.
FOR MINORS UNDER 18: If the session is for a child 12 years or younger, the first session is just with the therapist and parent (s) or guardian. If the client is 12-18, we ask that a parent (or guardian) attend the first session for the first 10-15 minutes. The parent will be able to meet the therapist and help make the child feel comfortable.
PLEASE NOTE: Please share any concerns about your child with the therapist or Intake Team prior to the session— not in front of your child in the session. This is to protect your child and foster a positive start to therapy!

What will all the other sessions be like?2023-10-25T02:14:39-05:00

The second session is our unique formula for goal setting. In this session, your therapist will help you connect and understand what your heart really wants in this life. The remainder of the sessions will then be working on skills to tackle any obstacles in the way of you living your best life. In order to see lasting results, a commitment to at least 8 weekly sessions is recommended. However, we are flexible and can work with you to accommodate your schedule and goals.

FOR MINORS UNDER 18: Parents will not be required to attend the sessions but must be available for the last 10 minutes of the session in case the therapist would like to touch base with you or for any scheduling changes.

Ever wish you could hit “reset” before the day is over?

Consider booking a "lunch date" with your therapist! 

✨ Lunchtime or daytime therapy appointments can make it easier to care for your mental health in real time — not just after the day has already taken everything out of you.

🕛 Lunchtime and daytime therapy sessions can help you:
🌿 Take a pause in the middle of the day
🌿Process stress while it’s happening
🌿Head back to work feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded
🌿Talk through stress as it comes up
🌿Avoid carrying emotional weight all day
🌿Use your lunch break for actual self-care
🌿Protect your evenings for rest, family, or fun

Therapy doesn’t have to live at the end of your day. Sometimes, the most powerful reset happens right in the middle.

In-Person and Virtual sessions available! Book your "lunch date" now 😉

🌿 Living With Chronic Illness Is More Than Physical 🌿

Chronic health conditions don’t just affect your body.
They touch your emotions, identity, relationships, and sense of safety—especially during the winter months.

You might be carrying:
• Grief for the life you imagined
• Anxiety about flares, illness, or uncertainty
• Guilt for needing rest or accommodations
• Frustration when others don’t understand
• Exhaustion from simply trying to keep going

Working with a therapist can help you:
🌿 Process the grief that often goes unspoken
🌿 Separate self-worth from productivity
🌿 Cope with anxiety, depression, and medical trauma
🌿 Build tools for pain, fatigue, and unpredictability
🌿 Reconnect with who you are beyond your diagnosis

Therapy isn’t about “giving up.”
It’s about receiving support in a reality that already asks a lot of you.

✨ We recently shared a blog with gentle tips for navigating chronic illness—especially during cold and flu season.

💛Sneaky Signs of ADHD You Might Be Overlooking 💛

ADHD doesn’t always look like hyperactivity or being “bad at paying attention.”
For many people—especially teens and adults—it shows up in quieter, more confusing ways.

You might be missing ADHD if you experience:
🌿 Chronic overwhelm from “simple” tasks
🌿 Difficulty starting things—even when they matter to you
🌿 Hyperfocus on some things, but avoidance of others
🌿 Emotional intensity or quick frustration
🌿 Time blindness (everything feels now or not now)
🌿 Forgetting appointments, texts, or deadlines—despite trying hard
🌿 Feeling exhausted from keeping it all together
🌿 Relying on pressure, urgency, or anxiety to get things done
🌿 A constant sense of “I should be able to handle this”

ADHD isn’t a lack of effort, intelligence, or motivation.
It’s a difference in how the brain manages attention, emotions, and executive functioning.

✨ The good news? With the right support, ADHD becomes more manageable—and often empowering.

At Inspire Counseling Center, we offer support for ADHD across the lifespan, using evidence-based approaches that help with:
✔️ Executive functioning & organization
✔️ Emotional regulation
✔️ Self-compassion & self-esteem
✔️ Practical, real-life strategies that actually work

💛 If this resonates, you’re not alone—and help is available.
📲 call or TEXT (847) 919-9096 to schedule
