Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

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
Olivia Belknap
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Chronic illness is often accompanied by, grief, depression, anxiety, isolation, and even anger and rage. Chronic illness also comes with loss, the loss of our health, relationships careers, hobbies, independence and more. The people in your life may not understand what you're going through, or may expect you to push yourself past your limits. We can work together to process grief around the many losses that come with chronic illness, set boundaries with loved ones, find self compassion, learn to honor your needs, and create strategies that work for you.
As someone living with a chronic illness, I have first hand experience with many chronic illness struggles and I use my experience to inform my work.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, fatigue, or pain with no structural cause, we’ll explore mind-body tools and compassionate understanding to help you shift your relationship with pain and reclaim your life.
