Chronic Pain or Illness
Shannon Kossick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC
Living with chronic pain or illness affects far more than the body. It reshapes identity, relationships, and how you move through the world. I use somatic therapy, IFS, and mindfulness-based approaches to help you process the emotional weight of chronic health challenges and find more steadiness and self-compassion alongside whatever you're living with.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we understand that chronic illness and persistent pain are not just physical experiences, they impact every facet of your life, from your emotional well-being to your relationships and cultural identity.

We empower you to regain a sense of agency, even when your body feels unpredictable. We provide a space to process the grief of health changes while teaching practical mindfulness and coping techniques to improve your quality of life. Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis or managing long-term conditions, our goal is to help you live a full, values-driven life that isn't defined by your symptoms.

9 Years Experience
Online in Reno, NV Nevada
Reno's rapid growth — driven by a wave of tech and logistics companies relocating from California, anchored by facilities from Tesla, Apple, and Amazon — has transformed a gambling-and-entertainment city into a more economically diverse metro, and its therapy community is evolving to serve both the long-established casino workforce and a growing population of tech transplants. The city's proximity to the Sierra Nevada and outdoor recreation culture attracts a younger, health-conscious demographic who are generally comfortable seeking therapy, while the older gaming-industry workforce may carry greater stigma around help-seeking. Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Reno's significant homeless population and substance use challenges mean therapists specializing in co-occurring disorders serve an especially important community role.
