Our Services
Therapy
At Embrace Counseling Center, we offer individual sessions of trauma-informed, holistic care tailored to your unique needs. Here’s a brief overview of the therapeutic approaches available:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A research-backed therapy that helps reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress using eye movements or bilateral stimulation.
EMDR-Sandtray
Combines EMDR with expressive sand tray work, allowing healing through symbolic, nonverbal storytelling—especially helpful for deeper or preverbal trauma.
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
A body-focused method that helps release trauma stored in the nervous system, restoring balance, safety, and regulation.
Brainspotting (BSP)
A brain-body therapy that uses eye positioning to access and release deeply stored emotional pain, trauma, and performance blocks.
Mindfulness-Based Practices
Teaches tools like meditation and grounding to build awareness, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional resilience.
Faith-Based Counseling/Christian Counseling
For those who desire spiritual integration, this approach incorporates faith, prayer, and scripture to support healing and growth.
Group
Therapy
COMING SOON…
Healing doesn’t have to happen alone. Group counseling offers a supportive space to connect with others who share similar experiences. At Embrace Counseling Center, groups are held in a safe, confidential environment where healing, understanding, and growth can flourish together.
Bereavement Group
A nurturing space for those grieving the loss of a loved one. This group offers connection, shared understanding, and gentle support as you navigate grief and find hope in the healing process.
Trauma-Focused Group
Designed for individuals impacted by trauma, this group helps participants process experiences, learn grounding tools, and build resilience alongside others who truly understand.
Group sessions are guided with care and intention, blending evidence-based practices with compassion and community. You are seen, supported, and never alone in your healing.
Clinical Supervision
Our approach to supervision is very similar to our approach to therapy: process-focused, collaborative, and based on a positive working relationship. We are extremely passionate about supporting fellow therapists and helping them find and reach their full potential.
Sharon Kim is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. If you are interested in receiving supervision or joining a supervision group, please fill out the contact form or email Embrace Counseling Center at officemanagerecc@embracecounselingcenter.com
