Chronic Pain
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Chronic Pain whether caused by accidents, injuries, diseases, aging and emotional factors robs us of opportunities for happiness and fulfillment and often impacts every aspect of our lives. I offer clients a comprehensive approach to reduce and manage pain incorporating strategies like cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis, EMDR, mindfulness, exercise, and nutritional guidance. As a chronic back pain sufferer myself for many years, I have learned about the causes of pain and the wide variety of tools that can be used to cope, reduce and in some cases eliminate it all together. Sometimes, working with other health professionals in an inter-disciplinary manner offers the best combination of treatment. During out time together we will discuss, evaluate and decide together what might work best for you.

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.

Getting a diagnosis like Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) or another chronic condition can feel like your whole world’s been flipped upside down. Trust me, I know—I’ve been there myself.

Chronic Pain
Tracy L. Morris

Chronic Pain
Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I understand firsthand how difficult and isolating living with a chronic illness can be. Family members and friends try their best to be supportive, but ultimately can’t understand what we're experiencing. Doctors can be dismissive and are often as much of a source of frustration as our symptoms. Chronic illness isn’t just about physical symptoms that impact our quality of life, but also the emotional overwhelm of adjusting to new limitations. I provide a safe space to help those struggling with chronic illness process these overwhelming emotions and cope with the loss of a pre-diagnosis life in the hopes of gaining a better understanding of a post-diagnosis identity. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact symptom development and work towards an improved quality of life.

Chronic Pain
Amanda Smith
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of life, including your mood, relationships, daily functioning, and sense of identity. The ongoing stress of managing symptoms can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, or disconnected from your body.
Using a compassionate, whole-person approach, I help clients explore the connection between the nervous system, emotions, and physical symptoms. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing®, mindfulness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, we work to increase awareness of your body's signals, build nervous system regulation skills, and reduce the impact pain has on your daily life. While therapy is not a replacement for medical care, it can provide meaningful support in helping you navigate chronic pain with greater resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself.

Weston Pew

Navigating chronic pain or illness, whether it's yourself or a loved one, can feel overwhelming. Fear, uncertainty, and endless questions about treatment and the future haunt you and keep you up at night. As someone who has personally faced this challenge and supported others through it, I offer a holistic approach to healing that addresses the mind, heart, body, and soul. My work integrates Narrative Therapy to reframe your journey, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster self-compassion, Somatic Therapy to release tension and reconnect with your body, and Existential/Spiritual Inquiry to explore deeper meanings. Together, we’ll build emotional resilience, provide clarity, and help you reclaim a sense of agency, so you can move forward with purpose and grace. Reach out for a free consultation, and let’s explore a personalized approach to support your healing.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our physical and emotional health are intimately connected. When you are living a body that is unreliable or in pain, that can create relationship stress, depression and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have focused on the unique challenges faced by patients or caregivers who are coping with serious illness.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been shaped by their bodies in ways they did not choose. This may include serious or long‑term illness, chronic pain, complex diagnoses or diagnostic uncertainty, and the lingering impact of medical procedures and hospitalizations. For some, there is also medical trauma or other trauma woven in. For others, the ongoing symptoms themselves are what feel overwhelming.
Many of the adults, teens, and children I see look like they are managing from the outside. They keep up with school, work, or family responsibilities and often minimize what they are going through. Inside, there may be fear, grief, anger, exhaustion, or a sense of watching life move on without them.
I often work with people who are trying to navigate medical, school, or workplace systems that feel unsupportive, confusing, or exhausting, and to live a life that makes sense when very few people seem to understand what it is really like.
My work is not general support for illness. I focus on how pain, illness, and medical experiences live in the nervous system and shape mood, relationships, daily life, and sense of self. We make space for the very real impact of ongoing pain or fatigue, adjusting to new diagnoses or changes in functioning, repeated medical procedures or hospital stays, encounters with dismissive or disbelieving providers, and the losses and changes that come with a life that is different from what was expected. Together, we work with your body’s responses to what has happened, the stress of navigating care and systems, and the question of how to move forward in a way that feels possible for you. Supporting people whose lives have been shaped by illness and pain is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you carry that others often cannot see.

Chronic Pain
Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Chronic pain and illness don't just live in the body, they live in the nervous system, in the identity shifts that come with a changed body, in the grief of losing the life you thought you'd have. And they're often made harder by how invisible or dismissed that experience can feel. I'm Sarah, and I work with people navigating chronic pain and illness using a body-informed approach (Somatic EMDR therapy) to help the nervous system release what it's been bracing against, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for clients where depression, grief, or emotional exhaustion have become part of the picture too. For my queer, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous clients, chronic illness also intersects with identity in ways that deserve care and nuance. You deserve a therapist who understands all of it.

Chronic Pain
Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Living with chronic pain or illness is exhausting in ways that go far beyond the physical. It can shake your sense of identity, grieve the life you had before, and leave you feeling isolated in an experience others can't fully understand. I bring a whole-person, body-centered lens to this work — rooted in my background in somatic therapy and bodywork — helping you process the emotional weight of chronic illness, reduce stress that amplifies physical symptoms, and rebuild a relationship with your body that feels more like partnership than battle.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
