About Access Counseling Services

Trauma-informed therapy to help you let go of the weight of the past and let the next chapter in.

At Access Counseling Services, we believe healing is possible, no matter how long it’s been hurting.

We help people who feel stuck in survival mode, haunted by past experiences, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and CPT, we work with you to process painful memories, interrupt the patterns that keep you feeling unsafe or unseen, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

We are trauma-informed therapists who view every client through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) lens, whether trauma is their starting point or not. The AIP model recognizes that the brain changes in response to life experiences, and it holds a beautiful truth: your brain can heal. That means with the right support, you can access more insight, improve your mood, and rediscover your capacity for joy.

Access Counseling was founded by Dr. Jennifer Daniels, a trauma therapist with more than 35 years of experience. Her own healing began as a quiet child who finally felt heard, and that moment shaped a lifelong commitment to helping others feel safe, seen, and valued. Today, Jennifer leads a team of skilled and compassionate therapists who share her belief in the brain’s power to recover and the human spirit’s ability to grow.

And if you visit our Lincolnshire office, don’t be surprised if you’re greeted by Daisy (the sweetest therapy dog ever), who brings a little light wherever she goes.
