Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. David Liebert
Counselor/Therapist
In the vast majority of primary care settings, pain is likely to be treated as a biomedical problem, thereby leaving psychosocial factors unidentified, unaddressed, and poorly treated. Whereas a biopsychosocial treatment model for chronic pain recognizes that these other factors (i.e., "psychological" and "social") strongly influence the degree to which one experiences pain. I use evidence-based behavioral health strategies to improve functioning, decrease pain, reduce distress, and empower clients to live a meaningful life.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.
