A Gentle Path to Reconnecting With Your Body

Trauma doesn’t only live in our thoughts. It can show up in the body too, as tension, restlessness, feeling on edge, or feeling disconnected from yourself. When your body feels unsafe, it can be hard to feel at ease, even in quiet moments.

The Trauma-Informed Yoga Group offers a gentle, supportive space to reconnect with your body at your own pace. Guided by Brianna Johnson, LSW, and Steve Willis, Certified Yoga Instructor, this weekly group uses trauma-informed yoga to help you build a sense of safety, awareness, and calm.

No yoga experience is needed. All bodies and abilities are welcome, and a mat is provided if you need one.

What to Expect

  • Weekly Morning Sessions: Thursdays at 9:00 AM in Arlington Heights, in a small group designed to feel safe, calm, and welcoming.

Jessica A. Sweet, LMFT, LCPC

Jessica’s training as a therapist began at Northwestern University, where she worked with couples, families, children, and individuals. Jessica uses a client-directed, empathetic approach to understand each client’s unique challenges and work collaboratively toward meaningful solutions. She strives to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable exploring their experiences.

In her client-centered therapy, Jessica integrates cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), dialectical behavior techniques (DBT), play therapy, art therapy, and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. She tailors her approach to each client’s individual needs, drawing on these therapeutic methods to support emotional expression, develop coping skills, and encourage personal growth.

Jessica is also an American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Clinical Fellow. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and understanding the experiences that shape each person’s thoughts, emotions, and relationships. She works to help clients explore their challenges, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies for navigating life’s difficulties.
