Chronic Pain or Illness
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Living with chronic illness or persistent pain can feel like navigating life with an unpredictable and often invisible weight. Many people describe not only the physical symptoms, but also the emotional toll — grief, frustration, isolation, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection from the body that is meant to feel like home.
In therapy, we make space for both the physical and emotional reality of your experience. Chronic symptoms are not viewed as something to “override” or simply cope with, but as part of a complex mind-body process that deserves attention, respect, and care.
Using a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach integrated with Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down and gently explore how your body is carrying experience. The “felt sense” becomes an important guide here — helping you notice subtle shifts, needs, and layers of meaning that may not be accessible through thinking alone.
For many clients, chronic illness is intertwined with nervous system activation, past stress or trauma, and long-standing patterns of over-adaptation or self-abandonment. Therapy supports you in building a more compassionate relationship with your body, so it no longer feels like something you are fighting against, but something you can begin to listen to and live alongside.
This work does not replace medical care, but it complements it by supporting emotional regulation, reducing internal pressure, and helping you reconnect with a sense of agency and internal safety, even when symptoms remain present.
Clients often find that as their relationship with their body shifts, there is more capacity for rest, self-trust, and moments of ease — even within ongoing physical challenges.
This approach is especially supportive for highly sensitive individuals and creatives who are navigating chronic illness alongside identity shifts, grief, or changes in life direction.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults living with chronic pain or long-term health conditions and the ways these experiences can shape identity, mood, relationships, and daily life. Chronic pain often brings layers of loss, frustration, and adaptation, alongside the ongoing effort of managing physical symptoms.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore the emotional and psychological impact of chronic illness without reducing it to mindset or positivity. The focus is on understanding how pain is lived with, responded to, and organised around internally, rather than trying to eliminate it. Sessions are shaped around energy levels and may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.

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 or Illness
Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
Chronic pain is a condition that affects multiple aspects of a person's life and can exacerbate both depression and anxiety symptoms. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy for chronic pain to improve one's quality of life by accepting the reality of having pain in your life and learning how to move forward it. In addition, a client will learn several relaxation and cognitive skills to reduce and manage the pain as best as possible in conjunction with your current medical treatment plan.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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 or Illness
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.
