Chronic Pain
Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I have specialized expertise in the psychological components of chronic pain, recognizing that persistent pain involves complex interactions between the body and mind. I work with clients to move beyond the biomedical model by employing evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Chronic Pain and acceptance-based approaches. My focus is on reducing pain-related distress, managing the associated symptoms like insomnia and depression, and decreasing the fear-avoidance cycle. By understanding the brain's role in pain perception, I help clients build resilience, increase their daily functioning, and improve their overall quality of life, even while living with pain. I also live with chronic pain (nerve pain) and know how challenging it is to manage the psychological aspects of it!

Chronic Pain
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting, both physically and emotionally. It often impacts your mood, energy, and ability to keep up with everyday life. In therapy we will create space to process what you are going through while also building tools to manage stress, adjust to limitations, and find a sense of balance. The goal is to help you feel more supported and better able to cope with the ongoing challenges you face.

Chronic Pain
Tara Maazel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PN1-NC
I have specialized training in working with adults to understand and heal the trauma that often surrounds chronic health conditions. Drawing from the latest pain science, I use evidence-based tools and approaches to support you in navigating the struggles of living with chronic illness and working towards changing your relationship with your pain and other symptoms. We will explore the intersections between chronic illness and a dysregulated nervous system, often resulting from traumatic or stressful experiences. We will practice concrete exercises for you to experiment with, both in and outside of sessions. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR and expressive arts exercises to help you heal underlying challenges and gain deeper understanding of automatic patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck.
