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.

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. Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People mean well, but they just don't get it. From the folks who "helpfully" suggest you try yoga and tea tree oil to the folks who absolutely refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room, you find yourself working twice as hard, first to manage your pain and condition, and second to make sure you aren't bothering the people around you. This goes double if you have an invisible disability.
I get it. Let's give you a space where you can unmask. A space where you can be you without having to worry about bothering people, complaining too much, being too graphic. I've heard it all. Let's build a space together where we can look at some of the underlying psychology to give you tools to help build the life you want to be living.

Living with chronic pain or illness means facing challenges that often go unseen by others—but deeply impact every part of your life. Whether you're navigating daily symptoms, medical uncertainty, shifting roles, or emotional exhaustion, I offer a space that’s compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Using mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mind-body strategies, we’ll work together to help you move through pain and illness without being defined by them—so you can reconnect with meaning, resilience, and the life you want to live.

Treatment is collaborative and individualized, with an emphasis on helping patients build a more effective relationship with pain and reconnect with the activities and values that matter most.

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.
