Chronic Pain or Illness
Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have personal experience with chronic pain, illness and autoimmune diseases, which helps my clients feel seen and understood. I've witnessed how pain and symptoms can flair up during times of stress or when emotions aren't being fully felt. One of the gifts of my work is witnessing chronic pain move out of the body when trauma and suppressed emotions are released. I've helped numerous people navigate life altering diagnoses, cancer, IBS, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Alopecia, Hashimotos Disease, and more.

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
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, EDS, dysautonomia, Long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and other complex health challenges often requires carrying far more than symptoms alone. It can involve grief, uncertainty, medical trauma, identity shifts, fluctuating capacity, inaccessible systems, financial strain, changing relationships, and the ongoing labor of adapting to a body whose needs may change from one day to the next.
My work recognizes that living with chronic illness is not simply a medical experience. It is also a nervous system experience, an emotional experience, a relational experience, and often a deeply existential one. Together, we create space for the realities of grief, relief, adaptation, advocacy, relationship, resilience, choice, and survival while exploring ways to reconnect with your body that are rooted in compassion rather than conflict and pushing through.
Drawing from both clinical expertise and lived experience navigating complex chronic health conditions, I understand how easy it can be to internalize narratives that equate worth with productivity, independence, consistency, or achievement. Our work centers honoring your body's wisdom, challenging internalized narratives, cultivating self-trust, and building a life that supports your wellbeing rather than requiring you to constantly override your needs.

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.
