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.

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.

Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our physical and emotional health are intimately connected. When you are living a body that is unreliable or in pain, that can create relationship stress, depression and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have focused on the unique challenges faced by patients or caregivers who are coping with serious illness.

Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC, PSYPACT - Licensed Psychologist
When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.
