Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Living with chronic pain or illness can feel all-consuming, touching every aspect of daily life. Physically, the body can get caught in patterns of protection—staying in fight, flight, or freeze mode. Mentally, negative thoughts and fears can take hold, intensifying distress. Over time, life may begin to feel smaller and more restricted. My approach addresses the whole person: helping the body find balance and safety, the mind find perspective and calm, and daily life expand again toward meaningful, nourishing experiences. Together, we’ll work toward helping you live with greater ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility.

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.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults experiencing chronic pain or illness using a trauma-informed, mind-body approach that recognizes the complex interaction between physical symptoms, emotions, and daily life. I focus on helping clients understand how stress, anxiety, and past experiences can amplify pain while supporting strategies for coping, pacing, and self-care.
I integrate somatic, parts-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and build resilience. My work emphasizes collaboration, self-compassion, and practical tools to improve quality of life, emotional well-being, and the way clients relate to their bodies and experiences of chronic illness.

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.

Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!
