Chronic Pain therapists in Shorewood, Illinois IL
Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in Health Psychology that includes coping with medical illnesses, improving health behaviors, and coping with pain and other physical symptoms. I specialize in addressing these issues with both individuals and couples. I have specialized training in working with individuals with such health issues and/or health behavior goals, and experience working with couples in which one or both partners are impacted by health issues or behaviors. I utilize a range of empirically supported approaches to address your individualized needs in these areas.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Pain is so much more than a number on a Pain Scale. Your activity, your relationships, your thoughts, and your mood can all affect your experience of pain. Together we are going to examine all of the different things that make your pain worse. We will discover how you're daily activities and your beliefs around pain can fuel the cycle of pain. We will then develop tools to interrupt that cycle and do more with less pain. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating chronic pain.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Whether you’ve been feeling ill and are searching for a diagnosis, or if you have been dealing with health issues your whole life, we get it. Dealing with illness and disability can be really stressful. Unfortunately, dealing with a broken health care system, burn out support people, and difficult work places can make things much more intense. A lot of our patients enter therapy feeling isolated, scared, and angry with few places to vent, and unsure of what skills or resources they can access.
We always start by listening. We’re on your team, we’ll hear you and help you figure out what to do next. Whether it’s how to advocate for your needs with a doctor, how to manage your anxiety around an uncertain future, or how to make your life more functional, we can work on skills and plan together. Life is hard, but we have your back.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been proven to be one of the best treatments for anxiety symptoms. Using mindfulness, we can help diminish the magnitude of pain, and help you sort out the problems we need to accept and how to best fight for the things we can change.
