Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
I know what it's like to live with chronic illness, as I have been living with chronic illness myself for over 30 years. Of course, each of our experiences are unique, but living with physical challenges is so much more common than one might think. Ironically, though, in our culture, there can be a stigma or embarrassment to living with illness or pain, which can add to our difficulty. Fortunately, though, it's possible to learn to connect with a part of ourselves that is still "okay", that actually is "always okay", even though our physical bodies are struggling. Then, illness can be a doorway to connecting with our "innate wholeness", to a part of ourselves that is neither sick nor healthy, but rather something beyond them both. That is the pathway I've chosen to work with in myself and would be happy to share with other people dealing with chronic illness. I offer online and phone sessions, which can be particularly appealing for people who find it difficult to travel or prefer the comfort of their own space.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been shaped by their bodies in ways they did not choose. This may include serious or long‑term illness, chronic pain, complex diagnoses or diagnostic uncertainty, and the lingering impact of medical procedures and hospitalizations. For some, there is also medical trauma or other trauma woven in. For others, the ongoing symptoms themselves are what feel overwhelming.
Many of the adults, teens, and children I see look like they are managing from the outside. They keep up with school, work, or family responsibilities and often minimize what they are going through. Inside, there may be fear, grief, anger, exhaustion, or a sense of watching life move on without them.
I often work with people who are trying to navigate medical, school, or workplace systems that feel unsupportive, confusing, or exhausting, and to live a life that makes sense when very few people seem to understand what it is really like.
My work is not general support for illness. I focus on how pain, illness, and medical experiences live in the nervous system and shape mood, relationships, daily life, and sense of self. We make space for the very real impact of ongoing pain or fatigue, adjusting to new diagnoses or changes in functioning, repeated medical procedures or hospital stays, encounters with dismissive or disbelieving providers, and the losses and changes that come with a life that is different from what was expected. Together, we work with your body’s responses to what has happened, the stress of navigating care and systems, and the question of how to move forward in a way that feels possible for you. Supporting people whose lives have been shaped by illness and pain is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you carry that others often cannot see.

Chronic 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.

Chronic Pain
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.
