Chronic Pain or Illness
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Individuals may experience challenges related to chronic pain or illness due to various factors, such as physical injuries, medical conditions, or emotional stress. When someone is facing this difficulty, I offer support by aiding them in understanding their pain and its impact on their life. Through therapeutic techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, I assist in managing symptoms and developing effective coping strategies. Additionally, I guide individuals in exploring their experiences and empowering them to discover meaning and purpose despite their condition. In cases where there is a partner or spouse, I collaborate with both individuals to enhance communication and provide mutual support as they navigate the challenges associated with chronic pain or illness.

Are you or your child finding it hard to cope with your child's medical diagnosis? Are you trying to find ways to deal the stress of having your child swallow different medications, watching blood sugar, or getting shots/pokes? Maybe your child asks questions about why they are different from other kids and you would like to know how to respond? I can help you and your child to find empowering ways to accept their emotions around an illness, evidence based ways to help with behaviors needed to keep up with the doctors orders, and a safe space to talk about the stressors from the illness and also to highlight the wins.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Pain is so much more than a number on a Pain Scale. Your activity, your relationships, your thoughts, and your mood can all affect your experience of pain. Together we are going to examine all of the different things that make your pain worse. We will discover how you're daily activities and your beliefs around pain can fuel the cycle of pain. We will then develop tools to interrupt that cycle and do more with less pain. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating chronic pain.
