Living with chronic pain or chronic illness can take a toll on your self-esteem, sense of well-being, quality of life, and relationships. I have helped people to build resilience to these stressors and manage the impact of pain and illness on your mental and physical health. I can relate to the struggles as someone who has lived with chronic pain. I am your guide to living your best life and coping with challenges while accepting things out of your control. I look forward to teaching you tools to promote relaxation, positive self-talk, and healing.

Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
I worked to meet the needs of people with HIV before medical therapies made it a chronic (rather than terminal) illness. Depending on the nature of the clients' pain, I may refer to and work collaboratively with their other health providers to address the holistic related needs.

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.
