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.

Neck Down Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
I cured myself of a chronic pain issue in college using a mindbody approach by Dr. John Sarno. Many have used this approach to cure themselves of back pain, RSI, chronic fatigue, long COVID, and more. I would be happy to have a free consultation with you to discuss how brain science, emotional awareness, and nervous system regulation can resolve a lot of chronic physical ailments.

Christina Shonkwiler
Hypnotherapist, MA, CHT
The pain you are experiencing is not who you are, it is a message that shows what's out of balance. So much chronic pain is exacerbated by stress, anxiety, depression, and emotions that feel out of control. When they show up in the body &/or mind as symptoms, we are being called to change, to create a life of ease and relief from our critical inner voices and demands. I believe that we all have a natural capacity to heal, given the right conditions to safely and gently come to know our true selves. I hold a supportive container with compassion and experience to allow your highest aspects to come forward and shine.

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.
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!

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Unfortunately, many ailments are accompanied by pain. While treatment for the underlying issue is under way the pain itself can serve little purpose other than to be an uncomfortable and distracting reminder. Prescription drugs and other substances may be used to dull or mask physical pain, but they are often accompanied by unwanted or dangerous side-effects, and may eventually lose their effectiveness.
Hypnosis offers a drug and side-effect free alternative to pain management. Since pain is a signal interpreted by the the mind, it is possible to re-frame those signals by training the mind's response to them. Using the power of your own imagination to dull, direct, and distract, I'll help you learn to control the sensation and intensity of pain and find relief.

As someone who suffers from chronic illness, I know, first hand, how isolating and difficult life can be because of it. Finding the words to communicate your experience and feeling like someone understands your experience is necessary to cope with chronic illness and pain.
