When you are dealing with chronic pain and/or illness it affects every aspect of your life and medical professional usually not able to relieve all of your suffering. By using proven integrated mind-body approaches including cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, biofeedback, and movement, I can help you identify and improve areas of your life that may have been overlooked by medical professionals. Mind-body approaches are best suited for treating mind-body problems such as pain, auto-immune disorders, or chronic illness which attends to both your mental and physical health. Additionally, I can help you explore and learn about nutritional and other complementary approaches to help balance and soothe your sensitized or irritated system.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
