Hypnotherapy for Chronic Pain & Illness: Find Relief, Restore Balance
Living with chronic pain or illness can feel exhausting, frustrating, and at times, overwhelming. When pain takes over, it can impact not only your body but also your mind, emotions, and overall well-being. But what if you could train your mind to experience relief, comfort, and control?
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, natural approach that works with your subconscious mind to reduce pain perception, manage stress, and support healing. Through guided hypnosis, you can:
✔ Ease Physical Discomfort – Retrain the brain’s response to pain and tension.
✔ Promote Relaxation & Healing – Reduce stress and enhance the body's natural ability to heal.
✔ Regain Control Over Your Experience – Feel empowered instead of powerless over pain.
✔ Improve Sleep & Energy Levels – Break the cycle of pain, fatigue, and stress.
Pain is not just physical—it has a mental and emotional component, too. By addressing it at all levels, hypnotherapy can help you experience greater relief, resilience, and peace.
Take the first step toward reclaiming comfort and well-being—schedule a session today.

Chronic Pain
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

Chronic Pain
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.

Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
I employ a multidimensional approach to address chronic pain or illness, integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches to help clients manage pain-related distress and improve quality of life. Additionally, I utilize Attachment-based techniques to explore the emotional impact of chronic pain and its relation to early attachment experiences. By incorporating elements of Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Trauma Focused interventions, I assist clients in processing past traumas that may exacerbate their pain experience, fostering greater emotional resilience and coping skills.

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.

We can focus on coping strategies that help you function day to day, while also acknowledging the grief, frustration, and uncertainty that often come with ongoing symptoms. The goal is to reduce the strain, strengthen what supports you, and help you stay connected to meaning and purpose even when life feels limited.

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
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services for chronic pain or illness offer a supportive sanctuary for individuals navigating the complexities and challenges of living with long-term health conditions. Understanding that chronic pain and illness affect not just the body but also the mind and spirit, we provide empathetic, holistic care designed to improve quality of life, enhance coping strategies, and foster resilience and hope.
Compassionate Support for Managing Chronic Conditions
* Holistic Approach: We recognize that chronic pain and illness can touch every aspect of life—physical, emotional, and social. Our strategies are comprehensive, addressing not just the symptoms but the whole person.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is particularly effective in helping clients manage the impacts of living with chronic conditions, such as coping with pain, dealing with anxiety or depression, and adjusting lifestyle changes.
* Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques can aid in reducing the stress response, which is often exacerbated in chronic conditions, and can help manage pain levels more effectively.
* Pain Management Education: We provide education on pain management techniques and the relationship between emotional states and physical pain, empowering clients with knowledge and tools to better control their symptoms.
* Support Groups: Facilitating access to support groups and community resources, allowing clients to connect with others who share similar experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support.
Goals of Counseling for Chronic Pain or Illness
Our aims in providing counseling for chronic pain or illness include:
* Enhanced Quality of Life: Support clients in finding joy and satisfaction in life despite the challenges of their condition.
* Effective Coping Strategies: Develop and reinforce coping mechanisms for dealing with both the physical symptoms and emotional stress of chronic conditions.
* Emotional Resilience: Foster emotional resilience, helping clients to adjust to their situation, deal with feelings of grief or loss, and cultivate a hopeful, positive outlook.
* Improved Self-Care: Encourage practices and routines that promote physical health, mental wellbeing, and self-compassion.
* Strengthened Autonomy: Empower individuals to take control over their lives and make informed decisions about their care, reinforcing their sense of autonomy and independence.
Living with chronic pain or illness is a significant challenge, but it doesn’t have to define your life. Our counseling services aim to provide a nurturing space where you can find the support, strategies, and strength to navigate your journey with dignity, courage, and hope. Reach out to us, and let’s work together toward a future where your condition is a part of your life, not the entirety of it.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been shaped by their bodies in ways they did not choose. This may include serious or long‑term illness, chronic pain, complex diagnoses or diagnostic uncertainty, and the lingering impact of medical procedures and hospitalizations. For some, there is also medical trauma or other trauma woven in. For others, the ongoing symptoms themselves are what feel overwhelming.
Many of the adults, teens, and children I see look like they are managing from the outside. They keep up with school, work, or family responsibilities and often minimize what they are going through. Inside, there may be fear, grief, anger, exhaustion, or a sense of watching life move on without them.
I often work with people who are trying to navigate medical, school, or workplace systems that feel unsupportive, confusing, or exhausting, and to live a life that makes sense when very few people seem to understand what it is really like.
My work is not general support for illness. I focus on how pain, illness, and medical experiences live in the nervous system and shape mood, relationships, daily life, and sense of self. We make space for the very real impact of ongoing pain or fatigue, adjusting to new diagnoses or changes in functioning, repeated medical procedures or hospital stays, encounters with dismissive or disbelieving providers, and the losses and changes that come with a life that is different from what was expected. Together, we work with your body’s responses to what has happened, the stress of navigating care and systems, and the question of how to move forward in a way that feels possible for you. Supporting people whose lives have been shaped by illness and pain is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you carry that others often cannot see.
