Chronic Pain
Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Living with chronic pain or unexplained physical symptoms can feel isolating, confusing, and exhausting, especially when there are no clear answers or when others cannot fully see or understand what you are experiencing. I offer a supportive space for those who are navigating the emotional and psychological impact of chronic pain, illness, or ongoing physical symptoms. I understand, both professionally and personally, what it can feel like to live with discomfort that doesn’t have a simple explanation and to carry the uncertainty that often comes with it. That experience has deepened my compassion for those who feel dismissed, overwhelmed, or discouraged in their search for relief and understanding.
In our work together, we focus not only on coping with symptoms, but also on the emotional toll that pain and uncertainty can take, such as anxiety, fear, frustration, grief, and feeling disconnected from your body or daily life. I use a supportive, skills-based approach to help clients manage distress, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild a sense of stability and control where possible. When appropriate, I integrate CBT and DBT-informed strategies to help clients navigate unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and the stress that often accompanies chronic conditions. Therapy can also provide space to process the grief and life changes that come with ongoing physical challenges.
My goal is to offer a space where you do not have to explain or justify your experience—where your pain is believed, your emotions are valid, and you are supported as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. There is room for hope, even when answers feel unclear. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, supported, and less alone in what you are carrying.

Chronic Pain
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
I have made Chronic Illness and Pain a specialty in my practice and I have trained with some of the leading experts in that area. I have worked with many chronic pain sufferers, often eliminating all their pain even when it has been a long standing problem. As far as illnesses go, I have been able to eliminate all the symptoms of a client who was suffering from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a degenerative neurological condition related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. When I first met him, he had been degenerating for 12 years, was confined to a wheelchair, could no longer speak, drooled constantly, suffered from tremors and repetitive movements, inability to sleep and he lacked motivation to do his physical therapy, the only treatment doctors could offer him. With no treatment or drugs for his condition, doctors expected him to die soon most likely from choking as he lost control of his swallowing. After one session, we stopped the tremors and repetitive movements, got him to sleep more soundly and do his PT. After a second session he was able to speak again and walk again. After 5 sessions one couldn't even tell he was sick and now 6 years later he is still gardening, walking his dog, hiking in the mountains. Soon after I worked with a gentleman who had developed an adult onset form of Muscular Dystrophy called Myotonic Dystrophy. Only 45 years old, he suffered from severe chronic fatigue, finding himself unable to get out of bed in the morning, taking hours to stand up. He had muscular pain and rigidity, painful joints and various digestive issues. The morning after our first session, he woke up full of energy and jumped out of bed. After a few more sessions we eliminated all his physical symptoms as well as clearing several emotional issues that had plagued him his whole life. Recently he contacted me to update me and report his still feeling good. I have also worked with clients with MS and Parkinsons> This past year I trained and certified in treating IBS and other gut conditions, learning a protocol which is considered the most effective treatment for these issues. I have also trained and certified in Hypno-Oncology, enabling me to support patients on their Cancer journey to deal with pain, anxiety, and the effects of treatment such as nausea. Recently, I worked with a woman with stage 4 lung Cancer. Her only hope was a new experimental protocol that involved a long needle inserted into the stomach. She had a lifelong needle phobia and was terrified. After the first grueling treatment she came home and cried and vomited for 3 days. After one session she went in for her second treatment and she was able to laugh and sing show tunes with the nurses throughout the treatment, felt no pain and went home calm and relaxed.

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.
