Chronic Pain
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting, especially when symptoms are invisible, misunderstood, or difficult to explain. Many people feel caught between medical answers that do not fully help and a body that continues to signal distress. I specialize in working with chronic pain and mind-body symptoms using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and nervous system-based approaches. Our work together explores how stress, trauma, and protective patterns in the nervous system can influence physical symptoms while honoring the real complexity of living with pain or illness.

Chronic Pain
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Chronic pain weaves so silently into one's emotional life and inner world. I attend closely to the relationship between unconscious emotional processes and the body when working with clients living with chronic pain. Together, we examine how longstanding stress, trauma, and unarticulated concerns may be expressed somatically. Over time, this analytic process can support greater psychological integration and a more stable, workable relationship with the body, rather than focusing solely on short-term symptom relief.

Chronic Pain
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.
