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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Resilient Mind Integrative Therapy, PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Living with a chronic illness or ongoing pain affects far more than just your body—it can bring uncertainty, fear, anger, grief, and exhaustion. It can also strain your relationships, sense of identity, and overall quality of life. And if you’re a caregiver, you’re going through your own version of it—navigating constant demands, complex emotions, and needs that often go unspoken.
Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process the emotional impact of illness, treatment, survivorship, or caregiving. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening resilience, adjusting to a new reality, and helping you live as fully as possible.

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.

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.

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.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Andres I. Rivera Amador
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Living with a chronic illness can be an exhausting and isolating experience. It often means managing invisible pain, navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t always listen, and coping with the emotional weight of uncertainty and loss. In my work with clients who live with chronic illness, I draw from a Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT) perspective to recognize the deep impact these challenges have not only on the body, but also on one’s relationships, identity, and sense of belonging. Together, we create a compassionate space to acknowledge the grief, frustration, and fatigue that can come with long-term illness while also exploring resilience and connection. My goal is to support you in finding meaning and empowerment amid the difficulty to help you feel seen, understood, and reconnected to both yourself and the people around you.
