Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I have specialized expertise in the psychological components of chronic pain, recognizing that persistent pain involves complex interactions between the body and mind. I work with clients to move beyond the biomedical model by employing evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Chronic Pain and acceptance-based approaches. My focus is on reducing pain-related distress, managing the associated symptoms like insomnia and depression, and decreasing the fear-avoidance cycle. By understanding the brain's role in pain perception, I help clients build resilience, increase their daily functioning, and improve their overall quality of life, even while living with pain. I also live with chronic pain (nerve pain) and know how challenging it is to manage the psychological aspects of it!

The emotional toll of Chronic Pain or Illness often creates a hidden cycle of grief and isolation that is as taxing as the physical symptoms themselves.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As someone who struggles with chronic pain myself, I have found strength in providing an understanding and accepting counseling space for others with chronic pain or illness, as so many of us are overlooked or misunderstood by mental health and medical providers. I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on feeling good about who we are and the bodies we live in, as well as accepting our limitations and learning how to be our best selves within them. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, bodies, and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!
