Chronic Pain or Illness
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals coping with chronic pain or illness, I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Through therapy, we explore the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of their condition, as well as the impact it has on their daily functioning and well-being. I provide validation and support, helping patients navigate the challenges and uncertainties of living with chronic pain or illness. Together, we develop coping strategies and techniques to manage symptoms, reduce stress, and enhance self-care. Additionally, I assist patients in adjusting to lifestyle changes, setting realistic goals, and fostering resilience in the face of adversity. My goal is to empower patients to live fulfilling and meaningful lives, despite the challenges posed by their condition.

Dr. Olivia Blandford

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Hypnosis once again works with most people learning to control their pain. Chronic illness too can come with more losses than a loss of some functioning. These are often very stressful conditions, requiring someone to adjust their sense of themselves to fit new situations.
