Chronic Pain or Illness
Mark Flanagan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MPH, MA
I have worked for the past 6 years as an oncology social worker, serving cancer patients all over Georgia and the Southeast United States. My cancer patients have taught me the importance of determination, empowerment, and kindness towards oneself. I have a passion for working with individuals who have chronic, unremitting illness and pain, to walk alongside through the hills and valleys to achieve greater peace and satisfaction in life. If you are struggling with chronic pain or illness, call today to see if I can help you live a richer, more meaningful life.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

My treatment for chronic pain emphasizes managing discomfort and improving life satisfaction, employing techniques that enhance coping skills and encourage active participation in enjoyable activities. This approach aims to diminish the impact of pain on daily life, fostering resilience and a greater sense of well-being.
