Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.

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.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Living with chronic pain or illness is not just a physical experience—it impacts your energy, your identity, your relationships, and how you move through daily life. Many people find themselves navigating medical systems that feel dismissive, confusing, or exhausting, while also trying to keep up with responsibilities that don’t adjust to their reality. There can be grief, frustration, isolation, and the ongoing pressure to “push through,” even when your body is asking for something different. Cultural beliefs about health, productivity, and worth can make this even harder, especially when your experience is minimized or not fully understood.
At Nour Counseling, we take your experience seriously. We work with you to understand how chronic pain or illness is affecting you—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally—and help you build ways of coping that are actually sustainable. This might include pacing, boundary-setting, navigating medical interactions, managing uncertainty, and finding ways to stay connected to yourself and your life even within limitations. We also make space for the systemic and cultural factors that shape your experience, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is about supporting you in creating a life that feels more manageable, more aligned, and more compassionate toward your body as it is.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
Living with chronic pain or a chronic illness can be incredibly draining, not just physically, but emotionally too. It’s hard carrying the stress of symptoms, appointments, fatigue, and the feeling that life takes so much more effort than it seems to for everyone else. Many people also struggle with anxiety, frustration, grief, isolation, or feeling misunderstood by those around them. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to minimize what you’re going through or hold it all together alone. Together, we focus on finding support, coping tools, self-compassion, and ways to make life feel a little lighter, more manageable, and more supportive of your needs.

Cheryl Boucher
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Pain Reprocessing Therapy offers hope for people who feel trapped by chronic pain and exhausted from searching for answers. It helps you understand how the brain and nervous system can keep pain going, even when injuries have healed, and teaches you how to retrain your brain’s response to pain. As you begin to calm the brain’s pain alarm system, it becomes possible to relate to your symptoms with less anxiety and greater confidence and trust that your body is okay. For many people, this work creates space for real change, less suffering, more freedom, and the chance to recover the life pain has taken from you.

Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with chronic pain or illness, I help clients explore the complex relationship between the body, nervous system, and emotional experience. Living with ongoing physical symptoms can be exhausting and isolating, and therapy offers a supportive space to process these challenges. I integrate mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and mind–body approaches such as EFT (tapping) to help reduce stress reactivity, support the body’s natural healing processes, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with your body.

Leigh Ann Lichty | INNER FLOW Counseling & Art Therapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
Chronic pain and illness takes over your life. It causes life to take a complete turn. Navigating the medical system doesn't make things any easier. It is so hard to advocate for yourself with medical professionals when you don't feel comfortable in your own body. Managing chronic pain and illness is a many-layered struggle, which can include deep emotions, persistent negative self-concept, challenges with support system, financial strain, grief, identity changes, and trauma. I have navigated chronic illness myself and have experience supporting Clients on the same path. I am here for you!
