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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
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.
