Chronic Pain therapists in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri MO
Chronic Pain or Illness
Monarch-Therapies Kathryn Schormann
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. Living with a chronic illness or caring for someone with a chronic illness can be overwhelming. Transitioning from what has been to that "new normal" can be scary. I have been there and live through it myself. Whether it is dealing with transition in your health, or your loved ones health, I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. We may integrate some IFS techniques along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to walk you through any anxiety, depression and pain and help you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling like you are living your best self.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A multidisciplinary approach is often used to address both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may be employed to help individuals manage pain-related distress, challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about their condition, and develop effective coping strategies. Mindfulness-based interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), can also be beneficial in promoting acceptance of pain and fostering greater psychological flexibility. Additionally, therapy may involve education about pain management techniques, relaxation training, and lifestyle modifications to improve overall quality of life despite the presence of chronic pain or illness.

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.
