I have chronic pain myself, and I've been the victim of many physicians who dismiss me and my pain. Personally, I understand you, and professionally I know how to help you! Mindfulness, guided muscle relaxation, and meditation have been shown in large studies as well as in my office to significantly decrease the frequency, intensity, and length of time that pain persists.

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.

Susanne R Mealer

Chronic pain is not just dealing with the pain and dealing with illness is not just about dealing with a specific illness. Often, these issues can lead to depression, anxiety, anger and resentment and they affect every relationship you have including the one with yourself.

Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
Managing a chronic health condition is a profound physical and emotional challenge. Often, the suffering is compounded by "non-acceptance"—the painful, exhausting mental struggle of fighting against a reality you cannot control. Drawing from mindfulness, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help you navigate the complex grief and stress that accompany illness. Research shows that mindfulness actively reduces the physical stress response in the body. While we cannot always change your physical diagnosis, we can work together to cultivate deep self-compassion, reduce emotional suffering, and help you build a meaningful, rich life within the reality of your health.

Hypnosis once again works with most people learning to control their pain. Chronic illness too can come with more losses than a loss of some functioning. These are often very stressful conditions, requiring someone to adjust their sense of themselves to fit new situations.

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.
