Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Over the past 50 years, I have worked with clients who suffer from chronic pain and illness.
Conditions vary from physical pain due to injury, arthritis, and other chronic diseases and have
developed healing approaches to Cancer, Heart Disease, Asthma, COPD, and other serious
conditions.
My work involving imagery developed by Carl Simington, MD has been effective in prolonging life with Cancer. Dr. Simington is respected in traditional cancer circles, such as at NIH. The pioneering work of Helen Bonny, Ph.D. has greatly influenced my approach to the healing of disease as well as working with chronic pain.
I offer free zoom seminars, which promote spirituality and help with issues involving stress and
relationships. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Adam Shafer
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.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
