Chronic Pain or Illness
Amy K. Cummings-Aponte, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Florida LMHC MH20515, Maine LPC CC6872
As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I truly understand the challenges those who have such an illness face and I use a holistic approach in helping those with either of these challenges to live a better life. Both hypnosis and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy have proven helpful in reducing chronic pain or other symptoms experienced by those with illness or injury. (Please note, this work requires a referral from your treating physician).

Chronic Pain or Illness
Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A multidisciplinary approach is often used to address both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may be employed to help individuals manage pain-related distress, challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about their condition, and develop effective coping strategies. Mindfulness-based interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), can also be beneficial in promoting acceptance of pain and fostering greater psychological flexibility. Additionally, therapy may involve education about pain management techniques, relaxation training, and lifestyle modifications to improve overall quality of life despite the presence of chronic pain or illness.

Often the lines of pain and addiction can be blurred. I help the person understand the distinction. To treat pain effectively, I address the physical, emotional and psychological aspects. Psychological treatments play an important part of pain management.
