Chronic Pain
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been shaped by their bodies in ways they did not choose. This may include serious or long‑term illness, chronic pain, complex diagnoses or diagnostic uncertainty, and the lingering impact of medical procedures and hospitalizations. For some, there is also medical trauma or other trauma woven in. For others, the ongoing symptoms themselves are what feel overwhelming.
Many of the adults, teens, and children I see look like they are managing from the outside. They keep up with school, work, or family responsibilities and often minimize what they are going through. Inside, there may be fear, grief, anger, exhaustion, or a sense of watching life move on without them.
I often work with people who are trying to navigate medical, school, or workplace systems that feel unsupportive, confusing, or exhausting, and to live a life that makes sense when very few people seem to understand what it is really like.
My work is not general support for illness. I focus on how pain, illness, and medical experiences live in the nervous system and shape mood, relationships, daily life, and sense of self. We make space for the very real impact of ongoing pain or fatigue, adjusting to new diagnoses or changes in functioning, repeated medical procedures or hospital stays, encounters with dismissive or disbelieving providers, and the losses and changes that come with a life that is different from what was expected. Together, we work with your body’s responses to what has happened, the stress of navigating care and systems, and the question of how to move forward in a way that feels possible for you. Supporting people whose lives have been shaped by illness and pain is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you carry that others often cannot see.

Chronic Pain
Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
There is a difference between living with chronic pain and suffering with it. Suffering includes depression, unresolved grief, anxiety, isolation, and withdrawal. Chronic pain can cause these feelings because we grieve what we used to be able to do and feel that pain robs us of living a full life. Sometimes we feel like we lose ourselves entirely. When we are in a depressed or anxious mood state for a long period of time, we actually end up experiencing worse pain (and often worse sleep), which results in a vicious cycle that can feel impossible to break. The good news is that I have helped hundreds of patients improve how they respond to their pain and also lower their overall pain levels. They began to accept what they cannot control and also learn how to have more control over their pain levels through techniques such as physical pacing, relaxation, and clinical hypnosis. With board certifications in clinical health psychology, behavioral sleep medicine, and extensive training in clinical hypnosis, I can teach you skills to break the cycle of chronic pain and suffering.

Chronic Pain
Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.

Chronic Pain
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Chronic pain or illness is a multifaceted issue. There is, of course, the pain or illness but there is also the fear of feeling more pain or ill, and the constant belief that they "should" be more productive. Additionally, most of my client's struggle with accepting that they are not making this up, they are not being lazy, they are not 'conveniently" hurting or ill when something needs to be done. I can help you desensitize and reframe all of these negative beliefs and help you release the fear of more pain which is actually causing more pain. Lastly, with EMDR in many cases I can reduce or eliminate chronic pain symptoms.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Hypnosis once again works with most people learning to control their pain. Chronic illness too can come with more losses than a loss of some functioning. These are often very stressful conditions, requiring someone to adjust their sense of themselves to fit new situations.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
