Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than just your physical health—it can influence your mood, relationships, sense of self, daily functioning, and especially quality of life. I support individuals navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of ongoing health concerns, including chronic pain, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. Through a compassionate, holistic approach, we explore strategies for coping, building strength and resilience, and finding meaning and balance while honoring the realities of your health experience and limitations.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
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. Our approach focuses on breaking the "pain-stress cycle" by helping you differentiate between physical pain and the psychological suffering that often accompanies it. 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.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Living with chronic pain or illness is not just a physical experience—it impacts your energy, your identity, your relationships, and how you move through daily life. Many people find themselves navigating medical systems that feel dismissive, confusing, or exhausting, while also trying to keep up with responsibilities that don’t adjust to their reality. There can be grief, frustration, isolation, and the ongoing pressure to “push through,” even when your body is asking for something different. Cultural beliefs about health, productivity, and worth can make this even harder, especially when your experience is minimized or not fully understood.
At Nour Counseling, we take your experience seriously. We work with you to understand how chronic pain or illness is affecting you—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally—and help you build ways of coping that are actually sustainable. This might include pacing, boundary-setting, navigating medical interactions, managing uncertainty, and finding ways to stay connected to yourself and your life even within limitations. We also make space for the systemic and cultural factors that shape your experience, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is about supporting you in creating a life that feels more manageable, more aligned, and more compassionate toward your body as it is.

Brittany Washington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
I have a deep understanding of the emotional, relational, and psychological toll that chronic illness can take on individuals and families. As both a clinician and a passionate advocate, I specialize in supporting clients living with conditions such as epilepsy, PNES, and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). My approach acknowledges the unique challenges of navigating medical systems, identity shifts, and the impact on self-esteem and relationships. Through compassionate, personalized therapy, I help clients process their experiences, build resilience, and reclaim a sense of control and purpose in their lives—beyond their diagnosis.
