Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Chronic pain or illness is a multifaceted issue. There is, of course, the pain or illness but there is also the fear of feeling more pain or ill, and the constant belief that they "should" be more productive. Additionally, most of my client's struggle with accepting that they are not making this up, they are not being lazy, they are not 'conveniently" hurting or ill when something needs to be done. I can help you desensitize and reframe all of these negative beliefs and help you release the fear of more pain which is actually causing more pain. Lastly, with EMDR in many cases I can reduce or eliminate chronic pain symptoms.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating the emotional toll of chronic pain or illness. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
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.
