Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect every part of life—physically, emotionally, and relationally. Conditions such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue, or recovery from surgery often bring uncertainty, grief, and stress not only for the individual but also for loved ones and caregivers. I work with individuals and families coping with medical challenges to help process the emotional impact, develop coping strategies, and find ways to maintain meaning and connection during difficult circumstances. Together we focus on supporting your well-being while navigating the realities of long-term health concerns.

Those suffering with chronic pain/illness often deal with a lot of shame and guilt for how their disease affects them. This includes struggling to maintain social relationships, difficulty maintaining a meaningful quality of life, dealing with not having solid answers from healthcare professionals and so much more. Counseling can help work through some of these areas and give you a safe space to process them.

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.
