Chronic Pain
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Chronic Pain whether caused by accidents, injuries, diseases, aging and emotional factors robs us of opportunities for happiness and fulfillment and often impacts every aspect of our lives. I offer clients a comprehensive approach to reduce and manage pain incorporating strategies like cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis, EMDR, mindfulness, exercise, and nutritional guidance. As a chronic back pain sufferer myself for many years, I have learned about the causes of pain and the wide variety of tools that can be used to cope, reduce and in some cases eliminate it all together. Sometimes, working with other health professionals in an inter-disciplinary manner offers the best combination of treatment. During out time together we will discuss, evaluate and decide together what might work best for you.
