Chronic Pain
Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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 head but we can use your head to help you.

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
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.
