Chronic Pain or Illness
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
When medical interventions have reached their limits, clinical hypnosis offers new possibilities for pain management and improved quality of life. My work in this area is supported by robust clinical evidence showing significant reductions in pain intensity through hypnotherapeutic techniques. I help clients develop personalized pain management protocols that address the psychological dimensions of chronic pain. Through targeted hypnotic suggestion and mind-body techniques, clients often experience meaningful relief while developing greater agency in their relationship with pain. Our work focuses not just on symptom reduction but on reclaiming aspects of life that pain may have diminished.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Living with chronic pain or illness means your body has become unreliable, unpredictable, and sometimes feels like it's working against you. Whether you're dealing with IBS, fibromyalgia, migraines, or another condition that doctors struggle to fully explain or treat, the psychological toll is real – the frustration of canceled plans, the isolation of being misunderstood, the grief of losing the life you had, and the fear of what comes next. I work with clients navigating the intersection of physical symptoms and emotional wellbeing. We use clinical hypnosis as one tool to help calm your nervous system and address the gut-brain connection (particularly helpful for IBS), alongside talk therapy to process the anger, grief, and anxiety that come with chronic conditions. We'll also work on pacing yourself, advocating for your needs without guilt, and finding ways to live fully even when your body sets limits you didn't choose.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my sessions with clients dealing with chronic pain or illness, I often incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help them develop mindfulness skills, accept their condition, and commit to living a fulfilling life despite their challenges. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) assists clients in identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors related to their pain or illness, empowering them to manage their symptoms more effectively. By using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy techniques, I help clients identify their strengths and resources, encouraging them to focus on achievable goals and solutions to enhance their quality of life despite their ongoing health issues.

Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
I employ a multidimensional approach to address chronic pain or illness, integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches to help clients manage pain-related distress and improve quality of life. Additionally, I utilize Attachment-based techniques to explore the emotional impact of chronic pain and its relation to early attachment experiences. By incorporating elements of Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Trauma Focused interventions, I assist clients in processing past traumas that may exacerbate their pain experience, fostering greater emotional resilience and coping skills.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Chronic pain and sleep have a vicious cycle: pain makes it harder to fall and stay asleep, and poor sleep lowers your pain threshold, making everything hurt more. Over time, this loop amplifies fatigue, irritability, and emotional exhaustion — leaving you feeling stuck in a body that won't cooperate. I help clients break that cycle by targeting the sleep side of the equation with CBT-I, while also building strategies to manage the emotional weight of living with ongoing pain or illness. When we improve your sleep, we're not just giving you better nights — we're giving your body a better chance to cope with what it's carrying during the day.

Using mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mind-body strategies, we’ll work together to help you move through pain and illness without being defined by them—so you can reconnect with meaning, resilience, and the life you want to live.
