Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
When medical interventions have reached their limits, clinical hypnosis offers new possibilities for pain management and improved quality of life. My work in this area is supported by robust clinical evidence showing significant reductions in pain intensity through hypnotherapeutic techniques. I help clients develop personalized pain management protocols that address the psychological dimensions of chronic pain. Through targeted hypnotic suggestion and mind-body techniques, clients often experience meaningful relief while developing greater agency in their relationship with pain. Our work focuses not just on symptom reduction but on reclaiming aspects of life that pain may have diminished.

Stephanie Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When Pain or Illness Shapes Your Days
Living with ongoing pain or illness can quietly take over your life. You may look “fine” to others while inside you’re exhausted from trying to manage symptoms, appointments, and emotions that come with them. It’s common to feel frustrated with your body, anxious about flare-ups, or isolated when people don’t truly understand what you’re going through. You might notice that the harder you fight your pain, the more your stress and tension grow. You may grieve the life you used to have, or feel guilty for not being able to “push through” like you once did.
In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reduce emotional suffering, even when physical symptoms remain. You’ll learn practical tools to:
Ease the anxiety, frustration, and guilt that often accompany chronic conditions
Calm the mind–body loop that keeps pain and stress feeding each other
Reconnect with your body as an ally rather than an enemy
Build confidence in managing daily life with greater balance and compassion
Our sessions combine cognitive and emotional tools with mindfulness-based practices. You’ll track your progress each week and practice brief daily exercises that retrain the brain’s stress response — supporting both emotional and physical resilience.
I BELIEVE:
Pain and illness don’t define you — they reveal your strength and capacity to adapt.
Emotional healing supports physical healing; they work together, not apart.
You deserve care that honors your whole experience, not just your symptoms.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up; it means finding peace even in uncertainty.
Humor, gentleness, and self-compassion are powerful forms of medicine.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I wonder if you notice any difference in your body right now, at this very moment. Can you sit with it a second longer? Perhaps, there is a small part of your body that is not feeling as strained, knotted, tingly, throbbing, or numb as it was before you made this decision to read therapist's profiles?
Through an attachment somatic therapy approach, we'll pendulate from identifying and enjoying these small to large wonderful exhales of relief from pain with intentional befriending and curiosity towards pain in a welcoming of all parts of you to be recognized, heard, and validated in a journey towards the freedom to live an engaged life of presence with yourself, your dreams, your responsibilities, and your relationships.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Living with chronic illness or ongoing pain can deeply affect mood, energy, and emotional well-being. I work with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion related to chronic health conditions, using an integrative approach that considers both medical and mental health contributors. Care focuses on understanding how physical symptoms, nervous system stress, sleep, and medications interact with mood, while offering thoughtful psychiatric support and guidance. The goal is to help reduce emotional burden, improve daily functioning, and support a greater sense of stability and quality of life.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, EDS, dysautonomia, Long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and other complex health challenges often requires carrying far more than symptoms alone. It can involve grief, uncertainty, medical trauma, identity shifts, fluctuating capacity, inaccessible systems, financial strain, changing relationships, and the ongoing labor of adapting to a body whose needs may change from one day to the next.
My work recognizes that living with chronic illness is not simply a medical experience. It is also a nervous system experience, an emotional experience, a relational experience, and often a deeply existential one. Together, we create space for the realities of grief, relief, adaptation, advocacy, relationship, resilience, choice, and survival while exploring ways to reconnect with your body that are rooted in compassion rather than conflict and pushing through.
Drawing from both clinical expertise and lived experience navigating complex chronic health conditions, I understand how easy it can be to internalize narratives that equate worth with productivity, independence, consistency, or achievement. Our work centers honoring your body's wisdom, challenging internalized narratives, cultivating self-trust, and building a life that supports your wellbeing rather than requiring you to constantly override your needs.

Chris Guthrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I use several approaches to work with chronic pain and illness. ACT encourages individuals to accept pain rather than struggle against it, promoting engagement in meaningful activities despite discomfort. Mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness, helping individuals become less reactive to pain sensations. Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns of how you may react to the perception of your condition in order to rewire those responses.
