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.

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!

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.

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. Nicole Montes
Psychologist, PsyD
During graduate school I trained on a chronic pain unit. I understand the unique challenges of living with chronic pain or disability and the impact it can have on client's lives. I use mindfulness based practices to help client's redefine their relationship to pain, we process the grief and loss associated with their health challenges, and navigate how to make life worth living with pain or disability.
