San Rafael, California therapist: Robynne OByrne, psychologist
Chronic Pain or Illness

Robynne OByrne

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Chronic pain and Chronic Illness are among the most emotionally painful experiences with which my clients struggle. Few issues are as all encompassing and depleting as dealing with a chronic illness or pain. However, neither has to rule your life. Through a combination of somatic work, mindfulness training, cognitive behavioral therapy, depth hypnosis and practical pain management strategies, I help my clients create a different and healthier relationship with their illness or pain.

Monterey, California therapist: Kayzim Suárez-Reyes, psychologist
Chronic Pain or Illness

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!

San Francisco, California therapist: Chris Guthrey, psychologist
Chronic Pain or Illness

Chris Guthrey

Psychologist, PsyD
I use several approaches to work with chronic pain and illness. ACT encourages individuals to accept pain rather than struggle against it, promoting engagement in meaningful activities despite discomfort. Mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness, helping individuals become less reactive to pain sensations. Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns of how you may react to the perception of your condition in order to rewire those responses.

Chronic Pain or Illness

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.

Chronic Pain or Illness

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Heidi Hartston, psychologist
Chronic Pain or Illness

Heidi Hartston

Psychologist, PhD
Life can change dramatically and suddenly from an injury or chronic illness. Your pain might be invisible to others who don't understand what you're going through or why your participation in activities has changed. Some days it takes heroic courage and determination just to do ordinary things. Working with an experienced therapist can be a game changer in finding ways to reclaim as much or your life as possible. Some suffering and loss is unavoidable. But there are strategies that minimize pain and reduce the secondary consequences that shrink your life. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from unnecessary suffering and helping you get back to the happy, interactive activities that are meaningful to you.
