Chronic Pain or Illness
Alex Conway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I specialize in supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community who are living with chronic pain. Understanding the unique challenges and complexities of managing chronic pain while navigating identity-related stressors, I provide a compassionate and affirming space to explore your experiences. Together, we'll work to develop personalized strategies to manage pain, improve quality of life, and promote overall well-being. Using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and pain management strategies, we'll address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of chronic pain. My goal is to empower you to regain control over your life, find meaning and joy, and thrive despite the challenges of chronic pain. Let's embark on a journey towards greater comfort, resilience, and vitality together.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
With my background in internal medicine, I have over 15 years of experience in taking care of patients with chronic illness. Living with a chronic illness can bring feelings of grief due to loss of health, fear for the future, anger about circumstances, as well as difficulties in coming to terms with needing help and support from others when the ability to take care of oneself has diminished. In addition, it may trigger feelings related to unresolved childhood situations in which developmental and survival needs were not sufficiently met. Processing the various emotional reactions to illness is a critical step toward mourning what has been lost and opens the door to making peace with life that includes chronic illness.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Illness and chronic pain feed our sense of hopelessness and depression - and then depression makes our pain worse. We can break this cycle and find ways to work with our pain and our thinking, to find more joy and connection in life, even if we don't know the direction our illness is going.
