Chronic Pain
Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Some of the first clinical work I did was at Aids Project Los Angeles. I have always had a passion for working with people with chronic, sometimes unseen illnesses. I am always the most struck by their tenacity, how others often do not know or acknowledge the battle they are fighting, and all the work it takes to maintain one's overall health in the face oof chronic pain and illness. I draw from some of my own experienes as well as the experiences of others in connecting with clients living and struggling with these concerns. I always make sure to point out that people I work with are dealing with unfair circumstances, highlight their strengths and past methods of coping. I make sure you know that you matter a great deal and I see the entirety of what you have lived and overcome!

Best Therapies, Inc.

Whether you’ve been feeling ill and are searching for a diagnosis, or if you have been dealing with health issues your whole life, we get it. Dealing with illness and disability can be really stressful. Unfortunately, dealing with a broken health care system, burn out support people, and difficult work places can make things much more intense. A lot of our patients enter therapy feeling isolated, scared, and angry with few places to vent, and unsure of what skills or resources they can access.
We always start by listening. We’re on your team, we’ll hear you and help you figure out what to do next. Whether it’s how to advocate for your needs with a doctor, how to manage your anxiety around an uncertain future, or how to make your life more functional, we can work on skills and plan together. Life is hard, but we have your back.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been proven to be one of the best treatments for anxiety symptoms. Using mindfulness, we can help diminish the magnitude of pain, and help you sort out the problems we need to accept and how to best fight for the things we can change.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.

Chronic Pain
Dr Calvin Young
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Somatic and body-based issues are a part of the cycle of behaviors that we see in clinical care settings. My background as a special forces medic, and my work with patients who are experiencing physical injuries, such as injured migrant farmworkers, along with my integrative approach to care give me unique insights and a toolbox of complementary approaches that have been demonstrated to work with pain and illness issues, although I do not profess to be a physician, nor do I play one anywhere, not even on TV!

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Chronic Pain
Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Chronic pain and illness change the way everything looks and feels. Life-long or more recent, its impact on our lives, relationships, and how we think about ourselves is undeniable. Making space to talk about your experience of chronic pain and illness is important. It is often something we hold close to us or don't share about it much. That can become lonely. Therapy gives you the opportunity to address the realities of the challenges, the grief you experience, validate the impact, and celebrate the wins along the way.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.

Chronic Pain
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.
