Therapy for trauma, grief, and the messy in-between of major life change.
In-person therapy with Aaron Polsky, LCSW in Naperville; virtual anywhere in Illinois.
You’ve been holding it together with duct tape.
And you’re exhausted.
You joke, you push through, and maybe cry in the car between meetings.
You keep telling yourself it’s fine—but you’re one comment away from losing it.
You’re not broken. You’re just tired of carrying it alone.
Imagine therapy that feels like a deep exhale.
You start sleeping.
You start saying no.
You catch your old patterns mid-spin and think, “I’m actually doing this.”
Therapy doesn’t fix life—but it makes it a lot easier to live.
Real talk. Real therapist. Real change.
I’m not a bobblehead with a clipboard.
I’m here to actually show up.
I’ve worked with heavy stuff—and I won’t flinch at yours.
I’ll cry with you, laugh with you, and when needed, call you on your BS with love.
Aaron’s Specialties
-
Trauma
Trauma messes with everything. But it doesn’t get the last word. We’ll work together to take your power back.
-
Grief
Grief is wild. One minute you’re sobbing, the next you’re fine—and then you feel horrible about it all. Let’s talk about all of it.
-
Life Transitions
When everything changes, you’re left thinking, “What now?” We’ll figure that out without the fake pep talks.
What healing looks like:
→ Saying “I’m not okay” and realizing that’s okay
→ Laughing again, for real
→ Getting through another hard week and noticing some good moments
→ Realizing it’s not your fault
→ Feeling your feelings and you can keep going
→ Learning to trust that you can handle the hard stuff
Meet the Clinician
Hi, I’m Aaron Polsky, LCSW.
I’ve been in the mental health field for nearly 30 years, working with people in some of their darkest, most overwhelming moments—whether that’s navigating trauma, grief, or life falling apart in ways they didn’t see coming.
I’m not a “smile and nod” kind of therapist. I’m real, present, and all-in.
You don’t have to show up polished. You just have to show up. I’ll meet you there.
