Chronic Pain
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!

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I understand firsthand how difficult and isolating living with a chronic illness can be. Family members and friends try their best to be supportive, but ultimately can’t understand what we're experiencing. Doctors can be dismissive and are often as much of a source of frustration as our symptoms. Chronic illness isn’t just about physical symptoms that impact our quality of life, but also the emotional overwhelm of adjusting to new limitations. I provide a safe space to help those struggling with chronic illness process these overwhelming emotions and cope with the loss of a pre-diagnosis life in the hopes of gaining a better understanding of a post-diagnosis identity. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact symptom development and work towards an improved quality of life.
