Chronic Pain
Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Living with ongoing pain or illness can wear down your mood, relationships, and sense of who you are. While I don’t treat the medical condition itself, I help clients work with the stress, fear, and grief that come with it. Somatic approaches can help you relate to your body with more curiosity and less bracing, which many people find makes daily life more manageable alongside their medical care.

Chronic Pain
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting, especially when symptoms are invisible, misunderstood, or difficult to explain. Many people feel caught between medical answers that do not fully help and a body that continues to signal distress. I specialize in working with chronic pain and mind-body symptoms using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and nervous system-based approaches. Our work together explores how stress, trauma, and protective patterns in the nervous system can influence physical symptoms while honoring the real complexity of living with pain or illness.

Chronic Pain
Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
I work with many clients facing chronic illness and health challenges, including long covid, lyme disease, CIRS, cancer, infertility, and more. As a person living with a complex chronic condition myself, I have found hypnotherapy to be an incredible tool for building hope, vitality, and symptom relief. I love sharing this impactful modality with clients so they can live their best life, even in the face of a life altering health issue. Whether you are preparing for surgery or IVF and want to feel more comfortable, need more tools for effective symptom relief, or searching for mind-body support for grief, isolation, and anxiety that so often accompanies health challenges, hypnosis can be a powerful option.

When Pain or Illness Shapes Your Days
Living with ongoing pain or illness can quietly take over your life. You may look “fine” to others while inside you’re exhausted from trying to manage symptoms, appointments, and emotions that come with them. It’s common to feel frustrated with your body, anxious about flare-ups, or isolated when people don’t truly understand what you’re going through. You might notice that the harder you fight your pain, the more your stress and tension grow. You may grieve the life you used to have, or feel guilty for not being able to “push through” like you once did.
In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reduce emotional suffering, even when physical symptoms remain. You’ll learn practical tools to:
Ease the anxiety, frustration, and guilt that often accompany chronic conditions
Calm the mind–body loop that keeps pain and stress feeding each other
Reconnect with your body as an ally rather than an enemy
Build confidence in managing daily life with greater balance and compassion
Our sessions combine cognitive and emotional tools with mindfulness-based practices. You’ll track your progress each week and practice brief daily exercises that retrain the brain’s stress response — supporting both emotional and physical resilience.
I BELIEVE:
Pain and illness don’t define you — they reveal your strength and capacity to adapt.
Emotional healing supports physical healing; they work together, not apart.
You deserve care that honors your whole experience, not just your symptoms.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up; it means finding peace even in uncertainty.
Humor, gentleness, and self-compassion are powerful forms of medicine.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
