Chronic Pain
Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
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 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!

Chronic Pain
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.

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!

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.

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.

Chronic Pain
Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.

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.
