Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect every part of your life—physically, emotionally, and mentally. It’s more than just managing symptoms; it’s coping with grief, limitations, and often feeling misunderstood or isolated. I work with individuals navigating ongoing health challenges to process the emotional toll, build effective coping strategies, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and identity beyond the illness. Together, we’ll create space for healing, resilience, and hope—even in the midst of 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.

Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating the emotional toll of chronic pain or illness. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
In treating chronic pain, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you reclaim your quality of life. Together, we focus on concrete pain-coping strategies, including relaxation techniques and mindfulness, to quiet the physical stress response and alter how your brain processes pain signals. We also target distressing thought patterns like catastrophizing—which can amplify physical suffering—replacing them with grounded, empowering perspectives. Using ACT, our ultimate goal shifts from fighting the pain to building a rich, value-driven life alongside it, ensuring that chronic pain no longer dictates your choices, goals, or daily well-being.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Some of the first clinical work I did was at Aids Project Los Angeles. I have always had a passion for working with people with chronic, sometimes unseen illnesses. I am always the most struck by their tenacity, how others often do not know or acknowledge the battle they are fighting, and all the work it takes to maintain one's overall health in the face oof chronic pain and illness. I draw from some of my own experienes as well as the experiences of others in connecting with clients living and struggling with these concerns. I always make sure to point out that people I work with are dealing with unfair circumstances, highlight their strengths and past methods of coping. I make sure you know that you matter a great deal and I see the entirety of what you have lived and overcome!
