Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr Rachel Spero-Hoy
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I offer treatment plans with various evidence-based treatments OR a choice for a more unstructured evidence-informed approach. I primarily utilize treatments that fall under the umbrella of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can improve emotion regulation and personal coping strategies that can help solve current or future mental health problems. CBT is a goal-oriented therapy and is widely used as the gold standard treatment to treat various mental health conditions, including: depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia.
CBT for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) - Addresses both psychological and behavioral factors that can impact chronic pain. Reduces chronic pain by addressing the perception of pain, improving quality of life, and regaining a sense of control over the condition. Core elements of CBT for Chronic Pain include: understanding the nature of pain, identifying and replacing negative thoughts, behavioral interventions, sleep hygiene, and mindfulness-based techniques.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
