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.

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
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that helps people identify and develop skills to change negative thoughts and behaviors. CBT says that individuals -- not outside situations and events -- create their own experiences, pain included. And by changing their negative thoughts and behaviors, people can change their awareness of pain and develop better coping skills, even if the actual level of pain stays the same.
The perception of pain is in your brain, so you can affect physical pain by addressing thoughts and behaviors that fuel it.
What can CBT do for you? Cognitive behavioral therapy helps provide pain relief in a few ways. First, it changes the way people view their pain. CBT can change the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to pain, improve coping strategies, and put the discomfort in a better context. You recognize that the pain interferes less with your quality of life, and therefore you can function better.

Chronic Pain
Erica Schultz
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to support individuals navigating chronic illness and medical trauma. Ongoing health challenges, difficult diagnoses, medical procedures, and repeated experiences within healthcare settings can leave lasting impacts that often contribute to anxiety, fear, grief, and feelings of helplessness. EMDR can help clients process these experiences, reduce distress connected to medical trauma, and strengthen their ability to cope with the emotional burden of chronic illness. Through this work, clients often experience greater emotional regulation, increased self-compassion, and a renewed sense of safety and empowerment within their healing journey.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Pain is so much more than a number on a Pain Scale. Your activity, your relationships, your thoughts, and your mood can all affect your experience of pain. Together we are going to examine all of the different things that make your pain worse. We will discover how you're daily activities and your beliefs around pain can fuel the cycle of pain. We will then develop tools to interrupt that cycle and do more with less pain. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating chronic pain.
