Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have worked for the past two decades supporting people with new medical diagnoses and improving quality of life in living with chronic health conditions spanning a wide range of medical issues including neurological, rheumatological, cardiac, etc... I have also worked with many people at all stages of their cancer journey, particularly in cancer recovery. I developed and co-led a mindfulness and yoga for cancer recovery group for female cancer survivors for many years at the University of Colorado hospital/UCHealth Integrative Medicine Center.

Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect more than just your body. It can impact your mood, energy, relationships, and sense of control over your life. You may find yourself feeling frustrated, discouraged, or stuck trying to manage symptoms while still keeping up with daily responsibilities.
Our work focuses on helping you navigate the mental and emotional side of chronic conditions. You’ll learn ways to respond to stress more effectively, reduce overwhelm, and build strategies that support your day-to-day functioning. The goal is to help you feel more steady, capable, and in control, even when symptoms are unpredictable.

Laura Forcella Spiering
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LIMHP
Chronic illness affects more than the body—it often impacts identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. I help clients navigate the psychological challenges of ongoing health conditions, including grief, frustration, and uncertainty. We work to strengthen coping skills, and build meaning and support while navigating the realities of your health experience.

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.

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.
