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 or Illness
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you’ve been in survival mode long enough, your body eventually starts to speak the truth your brain has been trying to ignore.
If you're a high-functioning woman living with chronic illness—Lyme disease, autoimmune issues, migraines, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, or symptoms no doctor can fully explain—you may have spent years blaming yourself. Pushing through. Powering on. Telling yourself you're just stressed, just tired, just too sensitive. But what if your illness isn’t just physical? What if your body is responding to something deeper—like the emotional trauma of a toxic or narcissistic relationship?
I work with women who are successful, smart, and chronically unwell—often without fully understanding that the constant stress, emotional abuse, gaslighting, or high-conflict co-parenting dynamic they’ve endured may be a major root cause of their health issues. These relationships dysregulate your nervous system, flood your body with cortisol, erode your immune system, and create the perfect storm for illness to take hold.
You may be:
Co-parenting with a narcissist and constantly walking on eggshells
Living with post-separation abuse, burnout, and deep emotional exhaustion
Feeling dismissed by medical providers who don’t ask about your relationships
Blaming your body while ignoring the decades of survival it’s endured
Overachieving while secretly unraveling
Wondering if your body is trying to get your attention
If you’ve found yourself searching:
Why am I always sick and exhausted?
How trauma affects chronic illness
Can narcissistic abuse cause physical illness?
Stress-related autoimmune disease in women
Burnout, inflammation, and emotional abuse
Why chronic illness flares after divorce
...you are not imagining it.
Your body is not broken. It’s been fighting to keep you alive through years of emotional chaos.
I specialize in working with women who are managing chronic illness and the emotional aftermath of toxic relationships. Whether you’re still in the relationship, co-parenting with someone who triggers you daily, or finally trying to heal in peace—this work matters. You deserve care that looks at the whole you: physical, emotional, relational, and psychological.
You’re not weak for being sick. You’re strong for surviving what made you sick in the first place.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in chronic pain and illness, my treatment approach focuses on addressing the psychological, emotional, and social aspects of living with ongoing physical symptoms. Through a combination of therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I collaborate with individuals to develop coping strategies and improve quality of life. By helping clients understand the mind-body connection and challenging negative thought patterns related to pain, we work towards building resilience and fostering a sense of control over their condition. Additionally, I support clients in navigating the impact of chronic pain on relationships, work, and daily functioning, while promoting self-care practices and advocating for holistic healthcare approaches. My goal is to empower individuals to live fulfilling lives despite their health challenges and to cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I believe that in order to be fully supported with chronic pain or illness you need to feel respected, heard, and understood by me and your medical providers. My approach works to identify and process the underlying emotions that often come with these experiences (grief, loss etc) that often come with these experiences. My hope is that by working together you won't feel alone while touching the depths of these emotions, while I gently guide you through them by helping you identify psychological and physical tools to help with coping and/or healing. I have post-doctoral fellowship training and experience in psychosocial oncology, kidney transplant, sexual health/ gender affirming care, and chronic pain management through University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Children's Hospital Colorado, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
