Chronic Pain or Illness
Launi Treece
Psychologist, PhD
My specialty in my PhD program was in behavioral medicine (the mind/body connection). I often teach relaxation skills, "spoons theory" and self care techniques. Often we will use trauma related methods like EMDR or LI to identify the trauma or pain caused by the illness/injury in order to clear out that aspect as well.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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 or Illness
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you’ve been in survival mode long enough, your body eventually starts to speak the truth your brain has been trying to ignore.
If you're a high-functioning woman living with chronic illness—Lyme disease, autoimmune issues, migraines, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, or symptoms no doctor can fully explain—you may have spent years blaming yourself. Pushing through. Powering on. Telling yourself you're just stressed, just tired, just too sensitive. But what if your illness isn’t just physical? What if your body is responding to something deeper—like the emotional trauma of a toxic or narcissistic relationship?
I work with women who are successful, smart, and chronically unwell—often without fully understanding that the constant stress, emotional abuse, gaslighting, or high-conflict co-parenting dynamic they’ve endured may be a major root cause of their health issues. These relationships dysregulate your nervous system, flood your body with cortisol, erode your immune system, and create the perfect storm for illness to take hold.
You may be:
Co-parenting with a narcissist and constantly walking on eggshells
Living with post-separation abuse, burnout, and deep emotional exhaustion
Feeling dismissed by medical providers who don’t ask about your relationships
Blaming your body while ignoring the decades of survival it’s endured
Overachieving while secretly unraveling
Wondering if your body is trying to get your attention
If you’ve found yourself searching:
Why am I always sick and exhausted?
How trauma affects chronic illness
Can narcissistic abuse cause physical illness?
Stress-related autoimmune disease in women
Burnout, inflammation, and emotional abuse
Why chronic illness flares after divorce
...you are not imagining it.
Your body is not broken. It’s been fighting to keep you alive through years of emotional chaos.
I specialize in working with women who are managing chronic illness and the emotional aftermath of toxic relationships. Whether you’re still in the relationship, co-parenting with someone who triggers you daily, or finally trying to heal in peace—this work matters. You deserve care that looks at the whole you: physical, emotional, relational, and psychological.
You’re not weak for being sick. You’re strong for surviving what made you sick in the first place.
