Chronic Pain
Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
When your health changes, it's not just your body that has to adjust. You may lose energy, independence, spontaneity, or the ability to do things you once took for granted. Plans become harder to make, relationships may shift, and the future you imagined might suddenly look different. You may be frustrated with your body, tired of explaining yourself, or feeling guilty about what you can no longer do. When you're LGBTQ+, you may feel a certain way about being more dependent on others or needing to open up your life and your home to other providers. There's room to grieve what's changed without giving up on what still matters to you. Therapy can help you navigate the emotional side of living with illness or disability while figuring out what a meaningful life looks like now.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in therapy for adults living with chronic pain or chronic illness, including persistent pain, fatigue, and complex or invisible health conditions. I understand that living with ongoing symptoms can affect much more than physical functioning, often influencing mood, relationships, sleep, identity, and the ability to participate in everyday life. My work integrates evidence-based psychological approaches with an understanding of the connection between the brain, nervous system, emotions, behavior, and physical symptoms, helping you develop effective ways to respond to your symptoms while building a meaningful life.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than just your physical health—it can influence your mood, relationships, sense of self, daily functioning, and especially quality of life. I support individuals navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of ongoing health concerns, including chronic pain, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. Through a compassionate, holistic approach, we explore strategies for coping, building strength and resilience, and finding meaning and balance while honoring the realities of your health experience and limitations.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults experiencing chronic pain or illness using a trauma-informed, mind-body approach that recognizes the complex interaction between physical symptoms, emotions, and daily life. I focus on helping clients understand how stress, anxiety, and past experiences can amplify pain while supporting strategies for coping, pacing, and self-care.
I integrate somatic, parts-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and build resilience. My work emphasizes collaboration, self-compassion, and practical tools to improve quality of life, emotional well-being, and the way clients relate to their bodies and experiences of chronic illness.
