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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in chronic pain and illness, my treatment approach focuses on addressing the psychological, emotional, and social aspects of living with ongoing physical symptoms. Through a combination of therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I collaborate with individuals to develop coping strategies and improve quality of life. By helping clients understand the mind-body connection and challenging negative thought patterns related to pain, we work towards building resilience and fostering a sense of control over their condition. Additionally, I support clients in navigating the impact of chronic pain on relationships, work, and daily functioning, while promoting self-care practices and advocating for holistic healthcare approaches. My goal is to empower individuals to live fulfilling lives despite their health challenges and to cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.

I worked to meet the needs of people with HIV before medical therapies made it a chronic (rather than terminal) illness. Depending on the nature of the clients' pain, I may refer to and work collaboratively with their other health providers to address the holistic related needs.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
I have made Chronic Illness and Pain a specialty in my practice and I have trained with some of the leading experts in that area. I have worked with many chronic pain sufferers, often eliminating all their pain even when it has been a long standing problem. As far as illnesses go, I have been able to eliminate all the symptoms of a client who was suffering from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a degenerative neurological condition related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. When I first met him, he had been degenerating for 12 years, was confined to a wheelchair, could no longer speak, drooled constantly, suffered from tremors and repetitive movements, inability to sleep and he lacked motivation to do his physical therapy, the only treatment doctors could offer him. With no treatment or drugs for his condition, doctors expected him to die soon most likely from choking as he lost control of his swallowing. After one session, we stopped the tremors and repetitive movements, got him to sleep more soundly and do his PT. After a second session he was able to speak again and walk again. After 5 sessions one couldn't even tell he was sick and now 6 years later he is still gardening, walking his dog, hiking in the mountains. Soon after I worked with a gentleman who had developed an adult onset form of Muscular Dystrophy called Myotonic Dystrophy. Only 45 years old, he suffered from severe chronic fatigue, finding himself unable to get out of bed in the morning, taking hours to stand up. He had muscular pain and rigidity, painful joints and various digestive issues. The morning after our first session, he woke up full of energy and jumped out of bed. After a few more sessions we eliminated all his physical symptoms as well as clearing several emotional issues that had plagued him his whole life. Recently he contacted me to update me and report his still feeling good. I have also worked with clients with MS and Parkinsons> This past year I trained and certified in treating IBS and other gut conditions, learning a protocol which is considered the most effective treatment for these issues. I have also trained and certified in Hypno-Oncology, enabling me to support patients on their Cancer journey to deal with pain, anxiety, and the effects of treatment such as nausea. Recently, I worked with a woman with stage 4 lung Cancer. Her only hope was a new experimental protocol that involved a long needle inserted into the stomach. She had a lifelong needle phobia and was terrified. After the first grueling treatment she came home and cried and vomited for 3 days. After one session she went in for her second treatment and she was able to laugh and sing show tunes with the nurses throughout the treatment, felt no pain and went home calm and relaxed.

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.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Chronic pain and illness don't just live in the body, they live in the nervous system, in the identity shifts that come with a changed body, in the grief of losing the life you thought you'd have. And they're often made harder by how invisible or dismissed that experience can feel. I'm Sarah, and I work with people navigating chronic pain and illness using a body-informed approach (Somatic EMDR therapy) to help the nervous system release what it's been bracing against, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for clients where depression, grief, or emotional exhaustion have become part of the picture too. For my queer, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous clients, chronic illness also intersects with identity in ways that deserve care and nuance. You deserve a therapist who understands all of it.

Reginald K. Riggins

Chronic pain is a condition that affects multiple aspects of a person's life and can exacerbate both depression and anxiety symptoms. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy for chronic pain to improve one's quality of life by accepting the reality of having pain in your life and learning how to move forward it. In addition, a client will learn several relaxation and cognitive skills to reduce and manage the pain as best as possible in conjunction with your current medical treatment plan.

Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.

Pain is invisible to others, which can leave you feeling lonely and misunderstood. Fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, immune disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, trigeminal neuralgia, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, and nerve damage are just a few. Any condition that affects daily function and is accompanied by chronic pain may require adjustment and acceptance. Chronic conditions and pain take a huge toll on our emotional wellbeing.

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.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
