Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to support individuals navigating chronic illness and medical trauma. Ongoing health challenges, difficult diagnoses, medical procedures, and repeated experiences within healthcare settings can leave lasting impacts that often contribute to anxiety, fear, grief, and feelings of helplessness. EMDR can help clients process these experiences, reduce distress connected to medical trauma, and strengthen their ability to cope with the emotional burden of chronic illness. Through this work, clients often experience greater emotional regulation, increased self-compassion, and a renewed sense of safety and empowerment within their healing journey.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that helps people identify and develop skills to change negative thoughts and behaviors. CBT says that individuals -- not outside situations and events -- create their own experiences, pain included. And by changing their negative thoughts and behaviors, people can change their awareness of pain and develop better coping skills, even if the actual level of pain stays the same.
The perception of pain is in your brain, so you can affect physical pain by addressing thoughts and behaviors that fuel it.
What can CBT do for you? Cognitive behavioral therapy helps provide pain relief in a few ways. First, it changes the way people view their pain. CBT can change the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to pain, improve coping strategies, and put the discomfort in a better context. You recognize that the pain interferes less with your quality of life, and therefore you can function better.
