Chronic Pain
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.

Chronic Pain
Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC / Lucy F. Underwood
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, ACS, BC-TMH, EMDRIA Certified, Qualified ART
Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC has a particular interest in helping children, adolescents, and adults experiencing emotional distress as the result of chronic pain. Research has shown that regulation of mental health systems lowers the experience of physical pain. We are training in the use of CBT, Mindfulness, Stress Reduction, and EMDR/ART to manage, reduce, and in some cases eliminate the emotional pain associated with chronic pain or illness. We have worked extensively with amputees, individuals diagnosed with cancer, burn victims, traumatic accidents, as well as, autoimmune and chronic medical conditions (e.g. HIV/AIDS, Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Sclerosis, POTS, PANDAS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Diabetes, etc.).

Chronic Pain
Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Learning how to contend with and accept a new diagnosis or reality of chronic pain can be daunting. I am a firm believer in the connection between mind and body. Mindfulness can help us relate to our suffering in a new and more compassionate way.

Chronic Pain
Cheryl Boucher
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Pain Reprocessing Therapy offers hope for people who feel trapped by chronic pain and exhausted from searching for answers. It helps you understand how the brain and nervous system can keep pain going, even when injuries have healed, and teaches you how to retrain your brain’s response to pain. As you begin to calm the brain’s pain alarm system, it becomes possible to relate to your symptoms with less anxiety and greater confidence and trust that your body is okay. For many people, this work creates space for real change, less suffering, more freedom, and the chance to recover the life pain has taken from you.

Chronic Pain
Matthew Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CRC, NCC
One in five Americans identifies with a disability. Learning to cop with these challenges is possible, whether it's temporary or permanent, visible or invisible, new or life-long. Regardless of the origin of your pain, it is real. And it does not need to define your entire experience.

Chronic Pain
Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Living with chronic pain or illness is exhausting in ways that go far beyond the physical. It can shake your sense of identity, grieve the life you had before, and leave you feeling isolated in an experience others can't fully understand. I bring a whole-person, body-centered lens to this work — rooted in my background in somatic therapy and bodywork — helping you process the emotional weight of chronic illness, reduce stress that amplifies physical symptoms, and rebuild a relationship with your body that feels more like partnership than battle.

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
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Chronic pain or illness is a multifaceted issue. There is, of course, the pain or illness but there is also the fear of feeling more pain or ill, and the constant belief that they "should" be more productive. Additionally, most of my client's struggle with accepting that they are not making this up, they are not being lazy, they are not 'conveniently" hurting or ill when something needs to be done. I can help you desensitize and reframe all of these negative beliefs and help you release the fear of more pain which is actually causing more pain. Lastly, with EMDR in many cases I can reduce or eliminate chronic pain symptoms.
