Chronic Pain
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I wonder if you notice any difference in your body right now, at this very moment. Can you sit with it a second longer? Perhaps, there is a small part of your body that is not feeling as strained, knotted, tingly, throbbing, or numb as it was before you made this decision to read therapist's profiles?
Through an attachment somatic therapy approach, we'll pendulate from identifying and enjoying these small to large wonderful exhales of relief from pain with intentional befriending and curiosity towards pain in a welcoming of all parts of you to be recognized, heard, and validated in a journey towards the freedom to live an engaged life of presence with yourself, your dreams, your responsibilities, and your relationships.

Chronic Pain
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
Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Living with chronic pain or illness can be physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially exhausting. Our work honors the wisdom of your body while supporting greater resilience, self-compassion, and a more connected relationship with yourself. We address healing medical trauma, developmental trauma, and chronic stress, all of which create inflammation and chronic illness and pain.
Note: I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.

Chronic Pain
Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Within my own life, being diagnosed with Type I Diabetes at the age of 10, I was forced to learn how to adjust and cope to this lifelong illness. My own experience both personally and professionally, I have fine tuned how to support others and teach them how to live a fulfilling life that they desire while managing their own chronic illness or pain.
