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.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
With a PhD in Health Psychology and almost 20 years of practice in the field, I have clinically-proven skills to help manage many physical issues such as chronic pain, migraines, tension headaches, dysautonomia, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), sport injury and recovery, and other chronic illnesses. It is important to address both the mental and physical aspects of these issues, as both impact one another greatly.
