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.

Dr. Nicole Montes
Psychologist, PsyD
During graduate school I trained on a chronic pain unit. I understand the unique challenges of living with chronic pain or disability and the impact it can have on client's lives. I use mindfulness based practices to help client's redefine their relationship to pain, we process the grief and loss associated with their health challenges, and navigate how to make life worth living with pain or disability.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Chronic illness and autoimmune diseases affect the quality of life. Every aspect of who we are is affected by chronic disease. Therapy provides a place to process the emotional pain associated with being ill and find ways to enjoy life again.

Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
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.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.
