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.

Chronic pain can feel invisible and isolating—especially when there’s no clear diagnosis. I specialize in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for neuroplastic or psychogenic pain, helping the brain learn new, safer responses to bodily symptoms. 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.
