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.

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.
