Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr Calvin Young
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Somatic and body-based issues are a part of the cycle of behaviors that we see in clinical care settings. My background as a special forces medic, and my work with patients who are experiencing physical injuries, such as injured migrant farmworkers, along with my integrative approach to care give me unique insights and a toolbox of complementary approaches that have been demonstrated to work with pain and illness issues, although I do not profess to be a physician, nor do I play one anywhere, not even on TV!

Chronic Pain or Illness
Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Chronic pain and illness change the way everything looks and feels. Life-long or more recent, its impact on our lives, relationships, and how we think about ourselves is undeniable. Making space to talk about your experience of chronic pain and illness is important. It is often something we hold close to us or don't share about it much. That can become lonely. Therapy gives you the opportunity to address the realities of the challenges, the grief you experience, validate the impact, and celebrate the wins along the way.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.

Annette Popernik

Chronic pain and illness are debilitating. We are affected by things that others don't think about. There are choices taken from us. I am here to work with you in processing this and also to work on empowering you. Let's find your autonomy and take your choices back, even if they look different. I believe that your pain is NOT in your heard but we can use your head to help you.

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.

Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
For clients with Chronic Health Conditions, often we encourage brain retraining via Gupta or other programs as an adjunct, and/or bio/neurofeedback including SSP, which we can offer remotely. Our practice focuses more on the deeper care for what might have been the conditions prior to the chronic health condition setting in, or work from a remote CranioSacral model. Clients might also seek functional and/or integrative approach to easing and managing symptoms and flares. We could apply an intersectional lens to work through ableism trauma as well, as an example.

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.
