Why there’s no "right" way to grieve, how loss impacts the body, and a sneak peek into our upcoming community workshops in Downers Grove. https://patchworktherapy.substack.com/p/the-patchwork-therapy-podcast-ep?utm_source=youtube

What exactly is EMDR? It stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR focuses on how the brain stores traumatic or "stuck" memories. By using bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements or taps), EMDR helps your brain resume its natural healing process. At Patchwork Therapy, Johanna Reedy, LSW, uses this evidence-based approach to help clients move from "feeling stuck" to "feeling safe." #EMDR #TraumaHealing #BrainScience #PatchworkTherapy #ElmhurstIL #MentalHealthSupport #JohannaReedy #EMDRIA

​Today, October 28th, on National First Responders Day, the entire team at Patchwork Therapy extends our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who serve on the front lines every single day. ​To all the Firefighters, Police Officers, EMTs, Paramedics, 911 Dispatchers, and all emergency personnel: Thank you. You are the steady hands and courageous hearts that run toward the danger when everyone else is running away. ​Your dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to public safety is nothing short of heroic. We recognize the profound and often unseen toll your work takes—the long shifts, the critical incidents, and the cumulative stress. ​At Patchwork Therapy, we're dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of our first responder community. You care for us; let us care for you. ​Remember: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. ​🚨 If you or a colleague need support, we are here. ​#NationalFirstRespondersDay #FirstResponders #Hero #ThankYou #MentalHealthMatters #FirstResponderWellness #PatchworkTherapy #patchworktherapy

As we honor National Police Week, Patchwork Therapy acknowledges the profound sacrifices made by our first responders, often extending far beyond personal safety. We understand the unique challenges they face, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship strain, and the impact of traumatic experiences. We're honored to have Ashley Camacho, MA, NCC, LPC, on our team, a therapist serving our community by providing compassionate and effective treatment tailored to the needs of these heroes. Our commitment is to offer a safe, non-judgmental environment where first responders in the Chicagoland area can prioritize their mental well-being.
