Chronic Pain or Illness
Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
There is a difference between living with chronic pain and suffering with it. Suffering includes depression, unresolved grief, anxiety, isolation, and withdrawal. Chronic pain can cause these feelings because we grieve what we used to be able to do and feel that pain robs us of living a full life. Sometimes we feel like we lose ourselves entirely. When we are in a depressed or anxious mood state for a long period of time, we actually end up experiencing worse pain (and often worse sleep), which results in a vicious cycle that can feel impossible to break. The good news is that I have helped hundreds of patients improve how they respond to their pain and also lower their overall pain levels. They began to accept what they cannot control and also learn how to have more control over their pain levels through techniques such as physical pacing, relaxation, and clinical hypnosis. With board certifications in clinical health psychology, behavioral sleep medicine, and extensive training in clinical hypnosis, I can teach you skills to break the cycle of chronic pain and suffering.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
Chronic pain is a condition that affects multiple aspects of a person's life and can exacerbate both depression and anxiety symptoms. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy for chronic pain to improve one's quality of life by accepting the reality of having pain in your life and learning how to move forward it. In addition, a client will learn several relaxation and cognitive skills to reduce and manage the pain as best as possible in conjunction with your current medical treatment plan.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.
