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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As someone who struggles with chronic pain myself, I have found strength in providing an understanding and accepting counseling space for others with chronic pain or illness, as so many of us are overlooked or misunderstood by mental health and medical providers. I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on feeling good about who we are and the bodies we live in, as well as accepting our limitations and learning how to be our best selves within them. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, bodies, and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

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.

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!

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
Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Living with chronic illness or chronic pain can affect every part of life—your body, mood, identity, relationships, and sense of control. I specialize in helping clients adjust to these ongoing challenges using evidence-based approaches that support both emotional resilience and practical coping. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that can intensify suffering, while building skills to manage stress, pacing, and daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps create space for difficult physical sensations and emotions, while reconnecting you with your values and what gives your life meaning—even in the presence of pain. I also incorporate EMDR to process medical trauma, diagnostic experiences, or other distressing events that may be compounding your adjustment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in research. Together, we focus on reducing suffering, strengthening resilience, and helping you build a life that feels meaningful and empowered—no matter what your body is facing.

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.
