Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I wonder if you notice any difference in your body right now, at this very moment. Can you sit with it a second longer? Perhaps, there is a small part of your body that is not feeling as strained, knotted, tingly, throbbing, or numb as it was before you made this decision to read therapist's profiles?
Through an attachment somatic therapy approach, we'll pendulate from identifying and enjoying these small to large wonderful exhales of relief from pain with intentional befriending and curiosity towards pain in a welcoming of all parts of you to be recognized, heard, and validated in a journey towards the freedom to live an engaged life of presence with yourself, your dreams, your responsibilities, and your relationships.

Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Chronic pain is not just a body problem — it is a brain problem. Over time, persistent pain rewires neural pathways, creating a self-reinforcing loop where the brain amplifies pain signals even without ongoing physical cause.
Neurofeedback interrupts this loop by retraining the brain's pain-processing circuits toward calmer, less reactive patterns — reducing the neurological amplification that turns manageable discomfort into debilitating, constant suffering.
