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.

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.
