Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my sessions with clients dealing with chronic pain or illness, I often incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help them develop mindfulness skills, accept their condition, and commit to living a fulfilling life despite their challenges. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) assists clients in identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors related to their pain or illness, empowering them to manage their symptoms more effectively. By using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy techniques, I help clients identify their strengths and resources, encouraging them to focus on achievable goals and solutions to enhance their quality of life despite their ongoing health issues.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Over the past 50 years, I have worked with clients who suffer from chronic pain and illness. Conditions vary from physical pain due to injury, arthritis, and other chronic diseases. I have developed healing approaches to Cancer, Heart Disease, Asthma, COPD, and other serious
conditions. This therapeutic, mind/body approach as introduced by Carl Simonton, MD has been effective in prolonging life with Cancer. (Dr. Simonton is respected in medical oncology circles, such as at the National Institute of Health (NIH).) Also, the pioneering work of Helen Bonny, Ph.D with Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) has greatly influenced my approach to assisting the healing of disease, as well as the relief of chronic pain. I produced a CD with GIM, "Healing Pain and Illness," that is available on the Bandcamp website. I also offer free zoom seminars that provide experiences of the power of deep relaxation, imagery, and music. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Chronic pain and sleep have a vicious cycle: pain makes it harder to fall and stay asleep, and poor sleep lowers your pain threshold, making everything hurt more. Over time, this loop amplifies fatigue, irritability, and emotional exhaustion — leaving you feeling stuck in a body that won't cooperate. I help clients break that cycle by targeting the sleep side of the equation with CBT-I, while also building strategies to manage the emotional weight of living with ongoing pain or illness. When we improve your sleep, we're not just giving you better nights — we're giving your body a better chance to cope with what it's carrying during the day.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
When medical interventions have reached their limits, clinical hypnosis offers new possibilities for pain management and improved quality of life. My work in this area is supported by robust clinical evidence showing significant reductions in pain intensity through hypnotherapeutic techniques. I help clients develop personalized pain management protocols that address the psychological dimensions of chronic pain. Through targeted hypnotic suggestion and mind-body techniques, clients often experience meaningful relief while developing greater agency in their relationship with pain. Our work focuses not just on symptom reduction but on reclaiming aspects of life that pain may have diminished.

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.

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.
