Linda Schartman, MA LPC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
It's hard enough to experience discomfort and pain. Then, to cope with invalidation, difficulties with the medical system, financial pressures, and more....let's talk about it. In addition to dicussion, I can help guide and rehearse techniques associated with mindfulness based pain management, or support you with any changes you would like to make to support yourself--perhaps just helping you to advocate for yourself more effectively.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I use psychoneuroimmunology to work with immuno-compromised clients and those with afflications of all kinds, at uncovering root cause. Often we trace it back to a correlation between symptoms and a mental/emotional signature. We use a combination of modalities to get there and then to reprogram, including hypnosis, EMT, NLP, Parts work, childhood regression, and others. For those with chronic pain, I use several different hypnotic frameworks with NLP to lessen the intensity, severity and frequency of the pain. An important part of our success formula is to see ourselves in our future without the pain, and to feel and sustain high-frequency emotions like calm, peace, and others; I train you in how to do this. Because the subsconscious doesn't know the difference between present and future, we entrain your chemical makeup to biologically change to that future version of yourself who is no longer in pain.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.

Dr. Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in therapy for adults living with chronic pain or chronic illness, including persistent pain, fatigue, and complex or invisible health conditions. I understand that living with ongoing symptoms can affect much more than physical functioning, often influencing mood, relationships, sleep, identity, and the ability to participate in everyday life. My work integrates evidence-based psychological approaches with an understanding of the connection between the brain, nervous system, emotions, behavior, and physical symptoms, helping you develop effective ways to respond to your symptoms while building a meaningful life.
