Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Chronic pain can often be a symptom of illness or injury, but it is also present as neuroplastic pain without identifiable structural cause. I use Pain Reprocessing Therapy to help alleviate neuroplastic or psychogenic pain. I also utilize psychoeducation and mindfulness to help manage the ongoing struggles of any chronic illness.

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.
