You look fine on paper, but inside you feel stretched thin. You may overthink every interaction, shut down when emotions spike, or keep ending up in the same relationship loops. You feel like you always have to be the strong one. You are tired of people-pleasing and pushing through, and you want more than surface-level coping tools. You want depth-oriented therapy that helps you feel steadier inside and show up differently in your work and relationships. I am Dr. Petya Randelova, PsyD, a Licensed Psychologist in Illinois and authorized through PSYPACT. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and EMDR trained. My work is trauma-focused, relational, and nervous system-informed. We slow things down, map the pattern driving the problem, build steadier regulation skills you can use in real time, and work on the deeper layers underneath, including the impact of interpersonal chaos and complex relationship dynamics. EMDR is available as part of treatment when it supports your goals and the timing is right, including extended self-pay EMDR sessions. I provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients. If this resonates, the next step is a brief phone consult to ask questions, confirm fit, and decide next steps. Visit https://practicalresilience.org to schedule and learn more.
