Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Pain is invisible to others, which can leave you feeling lonely and misunderstood. Fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, immune disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, trigeminal neuralgia, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, and nerve damage are just a few. Any condition that affects daily function and is accompanied by chronic pain may require adjustment and acceptance. Chronic conditions and pain take a huge toll on our emotional wellbeing.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.

Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
I have a strong interest in helping people reduce or eliminate chronic pain using evidence-based, mind-body approaches. I’ve completed a certification in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a cutting-edge method for treating chronic pain, and continue to deepen my knowledge through advanced training in related mind-body techniques. These approaches are grounded in the understanding that, in many cases, chronic pain is not caused by structural damage or disease, but by neural circuits in the brain that become sensitized—often as a protective response to fear, stress, or unresolved emotions. This pain is very real, but it is what we call “neuroplastic,” meaning it can change. The brain can be retrained to stop sending pain signals once it no longer perceives a threat. Through education, emotional processing, and targeted strategies, I help clients break the cycle of pain and begin to reclaim comfort, confidence, and control in their bodies and lives.

Dr. David Ransen
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CHt
There are a great many chronic ailments which medical specialists either don't yet understand or cannot treat successfully. These doctors often refer their patients to me for clinical hypnotherapy, which is supported by over 75 years of published scientific evidence of efficacy for challenging chronic illness and pain. The list is long, and includes such common ailments as lower back pain (often post-surgery), IBS and other digestive system pain, fibromyalgia and mysterious non-arthritic joint pain, severe headaches, and many more. All tend to respond exceedingly well (80% to 98% enduring relief) from clinical hypnotherapy when administered by an experienced certified therapist.
