Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People mean well, but they just don't get it. From the folks who "helpfully" suggest you try yoga and tea tree oil to the folks who absolutely refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room, you find yourself working twice as hard, first to manage your pain and condition, and second to make sure you aren't bothering the people around you. This goes double if you have an invisible disability.
I get it. Let's give you a space where you can unmask. A space where you can be you without having to worry about bothering people, complaining too much, being too graphic. I've heard it all. Let's build a space together where we can look at some of the underlying psychology to give you tools to help build the life you want to be living.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I use psychoneuroimmunology to work with immuno-compromised clients and those with afflications of all kinds, at uncovering root cause. Often we trace it back to a correlation between symptoms and a mental/emotional signature. We use a combination of modalities to get there and then to reprogram, including hypnosis, EMT, NLP, Parts work, childhood regression, and others. For those with chronic pain, I use several different hypnotic frameworks with NLP to lessen the intensity, severity and frequency of the pain. An important part of our success formula is to see ourselves in our future without the pain, and to feel and sustain high-frequency emotions like calm, peace, and others; I train you in how to do this. Because the subsconscious doesn't know the difference between present and future, we entrain your chemical makeup to biologically change to that future version of yourself who is no longer in pain.

Dr. Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in therapy for adults living with chronic pain or chronic illness, including persistent pain, fatigue, and complex or invisible health conditions. I understand that living with ongoing symptoms can affect much more than physical functioning, often influencing mood, relationships, sleep, identity, and the ability to participate in everyday life. My work integrates evidence-based psychological approaches with an understanding of the connection between the brain, nervous system, emotions, behavior, and physical symptoms, helping you develop effective ways to respond to your symptoms while building a meaningful life.

Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
When your health changes, it's not just your body that has to adjust. You may lose energy, independence, spontaneity, or the ability to do things you once took for granted. Plans become harder to make, relationships may shift, and the future you imagined might suddenly look different. You may be frustrated with your body, tired of explaining yourself, or feeling guilty about what you can no longer do. When you're LGBTQ+, you may feel a certain way about being more dependent on others or needing to open up your life and your home to other providers. There's room to grieve what's changed without giving up on what still matters to you. Therapy can help you navigate the emotional side of living with illness or disability while figuring out what a meaningful life looks like now.

Amanda Smith
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of life, including your mood, relationships, daily functioning, and sense of identity. The ongoing stress of managing symptoms can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, or disconnected from your body.
Using a compassionate, whole-person approach, I help clients explore the connection between the nervous system, emotions, and physical symptoms. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing®, mindfulness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, we work to increase awareness of your body's signals, build nervous system regulation skills, and reduce the impact pain has on your daily life. While therapy is not a replacement for medical care, it can provide meaningful support in helping you navigate chronic pain with greater resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself.

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Chronic pain can rob you of an enjoyable quality of life. Chronic pain can lead to symptoms of depression and helplessness. There is a body-mind connection. Science has begun to recognize that there is a connection between our physical and mental health. Emotional, physical, spiritual and behavioral factors can affect your health. Emotions and thought patterns contribute to imbalances in the body and therapies like mindfulness, meditation, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization) can be used to rebalance and promote physical and mental health. The perception of pain is in your brain so you can affect your pain level by challenging the thoughts and behaviors that support it.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
When there is trauma, we are more likely to have chronic health issues as our HPA Axis is dysregulated. This means our nervous systems are prone to overreacting to our environment and telling our bodies that we are under threat (even when we are not). This over-firing of the nervous system sets the stage for chronic inflammation, adrenal fatigue and burnout, autoimmune conditions as it means we are stressed a lot of the time. Helping to unwind the trauma helps heal the HPA Axis dysregulation, which supports physical healing.
