Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Pain is so much more than a number on a Pain Scale. Your activity, your relationships, your thoughts, and your mood can all affect your experience of pain. Together we are going to examine all of the different things that make your pain worse. We will discover how you're daily activities and your beliefs around pain can fuel the cycle of pain. We will then develop tools to interrupt that cycle and do more with less pain. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating chronic pain.
