Mandy Sawilchik (she/they)

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a master’s degree from Northwestern University.

I am a somatic therapist (trauma tells its story through the body) and utilize a mix of therapies including play therapy, sand tray, EMDR, expressive arts, movement and meditation. SomaticPlay(TM) is a way to process and heal from trauma without having to go back into the event and risk being retraumatized. I specialize in treating trauma and the disorders that present with acute trauma and PTSD, such as dissociation, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief and loss, and self-injury. Together we make incremental changes with an individualized treatment plan that adds up to a new way to see yourself, your life and every new day.

 

I am a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) for adults, adolescents and children and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a Registered Play Therapist. I am also certified in Playful EMDR, sand tray therapy, mindfulness and meditation, and PTSD assessment. I am currently finishing my certification as a Registered Yoga 200hr teacher emphasis on Trauma-focused yoga.
