Chronic Pain
Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
For clients with Chronic Health Conditions, often we encourage brain retraining via Gupta or other programs as an adjunct, and/or bio/neurofeedback including SSP, which we can offer remotely. Our practice focuses more on the deeper care for what might have been the conditions prior to the chronic health condition setting in, or work from a remote CranioSacral model. Clients might also seek functional and/or integrative approach to easing and managing symptoms and flares. We could apply an intersectional lens to work through ableism trauma as well, as an example.

Chronic Pain
Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Living with chronic pain or illness can be physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially exhausting. Our work honors the wisdom of your body while supporting greater resilience, self-compassion, and a more connected relationship with yourself. We address healing medical trauma, developmental trauma, and chronic stress, all of which create inflammation and chronic illness and pain.
Note: I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.

Chronic Pain
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.

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

Chronic Pain
Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have personal experience with chronic pain, illness and autoimmune diseases, which helps my clients feel seen and understood. I've witnessed how pain and symptoms can flair up during times of stress or when emotions aren't being fully felt. One of the gifts of my work is witnessing chronic pain move out of the body when trauma and suppressed emotions are released. I've helped numerous people navigate life altering diagnoses, cancer, IBS, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Alopecia, Hashimotos Disease, and more.

Chronic Pain
Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with chronic pain or illness often brings immense emotional weight, fatigue, and distress. Our work will focus on changing your relationship to the pain itself so that your overall suffering lessens. We'll utilize proven, collaborative methods to help you unhook from the internal struggle with your symptoms, accepting your current reality not as surrender, but as a foundation for moving forward. Simultaneously, we'll explore what you truly value in life and commit to pursuing those things, even when pain is present. I'll support you in healing the emotional and psychological 'parts' of you that feel burdened or overwhelmed, helping you find self-compassion and moments of restoration by connecting with the natural world.
