Tara Maazel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
I have specialized training in working with adults to understand and heal the trauma that often surrounds chronic health conditions. Drawing from the latest pain science, I use evidence-based tools and approaches to support you in navigating the struggles of living with chronic illness and working towards changing your relationship with your pain and other symptoms. We will explore the intersections between chronic illness and a dysregulated nervous system, often resulting from traumatic or stressful experiences. We will practice concrete exercises for you to experiment with, both in and outside of sessions. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR and expressive arts exercises to help you heal underlying challenges and gain deeper understanding of automatic patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer therapy for individuals living with chronic illness and chronic pain in a way that honors the wisdom of your body and the realities of ongoing symptoms. I understand that there is a deeply complex relationship between ongoing pain and our emotional worlds. Our work creates space to explore the emotional, relational, and nervous system impacts of living in a body that may feel unpredictable or demanding, and connecting with your body's needs, without pressure to push through or "fix." Some of our work might focus on building self-compassion, exploring grief and sadness related to chronic illness, and cultivating sustainable ways of caring for yourself rooted in dignity, agency, and meaning, even in the presence of pain and discomfort.
