Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
Chronic pain and/or chronic illness can profoundly effect every single aspect of life and result in feelings of isolation, hopelessness and helplessness. The mind and the body are intricately connected, and you can become caught up in a vicious cycle of physical and emotional pain. While a great psychotherapy experience cannot "cure" chronic pain and illness, it can very strongly lead to substantial improvements in being able to manage and improve physical symptoms and also reconnecting to the person that you used to be. There is a good deal of research highlighting how the addition of the creative arts process can support the chronic illness sufferer in both reducing physical symptoms and improving their quality of life.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Candidate
Chronic pain can feel all-encompassing, but as a psychoanalytically trained therapist, I explore the mind-body connection. We'll delve into unconscious worries, past traumas, or stress that might be contributing to your pain. By uncovering these hidden emotional factors, you can gain a deeper understanding of how your mind and body interact, leading to improved coping mechanisms and a path towards a more fulfilling life.
