Chronic Pain
Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Whether you’ve been feeling ill and are searching for a diagnosis, or if you have been dealing with health issues your whole life, we get it. Dealing with illness and disability can be really stressful. Unfortunately, dealing with a broken health care system, burn out support people, and difficult work places can make things much more intense. A lot of our patients enter therapy feeling isolated, scared, and angry with few places to vent, and unsure of what skills or resources they can access.
We always start by listening. We’re on your team, we’ll hear you and help you figure out what to do next. Whether it’s how to advocate for your needs with a doctor, how to manage your anxiety around an uncertain future, or how to make your life more functional, we can work on skills and plan together. Life is hard, but we have your back.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been proven to be one of the best treatments for anxiety symptoms. Using mindfulness, we can help diminish the magnitude of pain, and help you sort out the problems we need to accept and how to best fight for the things we can change.

Chronic Pain
Kyla R. Dannelke
Counselor/Therapist, Masters of Counseling (MA) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect so much more than your physical health—it can impact your relationships, identity, independence, and emotional well-being. You don’t have to put on a brave face or pretend everything is fine. At Open Book Therapy, we’ll make space for the grief, frustration, uncertainty, and adjustments that come with your experience while exploring coping strategies that fit YOUR needs. You deserve support that honors your reality, not pressure to simply “stay positive.”

Chronic Pain
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
Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
I possess a unique background as someone who worked as a medical provider (physician assistant) for over 25 years, prior to becoming a full-time therapist. The majority of my medical career was in primary care medicine, thus I have decades of experience working with chronic illness and chronic pain conditions. This level of knowledge allows me to understand my chronic illness clients in a more comprehensive manner, thus allowing me to thoroughly address their needs.

Chronic Pain
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!
