Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I use psychoneuroimmunology to work with immuno-compromised clients and those with afflications of all kinds, at uncovering root cause. Often we trace it back to a correlation between symptoms and a mental/emotional signature. We use a combination of modalities to get there and then to reprogram, including hypnosis, EMT, NLP, Parts work, childhood regression, and others. For those with chronic pain, I use several different hypnotic frameworks with NLP to lessen the intensity, severity and frequency of the pain. An important part of our success formula is to see ourselves in our future without the pain, and to feel and sustain high-frequency emotions like calm, peace, and others; I train you in how to do this. Because the subsconscious doesn't know the difference between present and future, we entrain your chemical makeup to biologically change to that future version of yourself who is no longer in pain.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I have extensive expertise treating people afflicted with chronic pain. This includes extensive research and clinical experience - But I also have lived with it; I have a spinal injury which has induced both acute and chronic pain for most of my adult life. The techniques I use to continue functioning have been successfully imparted to others who are also fighting debilitating pain.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.
