Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we understand that chronic illness and persistent pain are not just physical experiences, they impact every facet of your life, from your emotional well-being to your relationships and cultural identity. Our approach focuses on breaking the "pain-stress cycle" by helping you differentiate between physical pain and the psychological suffering that often accompanies it. We empower you to regain a sense of agency, even when your body feels unpredictable. We provide a space to process the grief of health changes while teaching practical mindfulness and coping techniques to improve your quality of life. Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis or managing long-term conditions, our goal is to help you live a full, values-driven life that isn't defined by your symptoms.

Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
I know what it's like to live with chronic illness, as I have been living with chronic illness myself for over 30 years. Of course, each of our experiences are unique, but living with physical challenges is so much more common than one might think. Ironically, though, in our culture, there can be a stigma or embarrassment to living with illness or pain, which can add to our difficulty. Fortunately, though, it's possible to learn to connect with a part of ourselves that is still "okay", that actually is "always okay", even though our physical bodies are struggling. Then, illness can be a doorway to connecting with our "innate wholeness", to a part of ourselves that is neither sick nor healthy, but rather something beyond them both. That is the pathway I've chosen to work with in myself and would be happy to share with other people dealing with chronic illness. I offer online and phone sessions, which can be particularly appealing for people who find it difficult to travel or prefer the comfort of their own space.

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 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.
