Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Chronic pain is not just dealing with the pain and dealing with illness is not just about dealing with a specific illness. Often, these issues can lead to depression, anxiety, anger and resentment and they affect every relationship you have including the one with yourself.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Nicole Merrigan, LPA, PLLC
Psychologist, MA, LPA
Managing a chronic health condition is a profound physical and emotional challenge. Often, the suffering is compounded by "non-acceptance"—the painful, exhausting mental struggle of fighting against a reality you cannot control. Drawing from mindfulness, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help you navigate the complex grief and stress that accompany illness. Research shows that mindfulness actively reduces the physical stress response in the body. While we cannot always change your physical diagnosis, we can work together to cultivate deep self-compassion, reduce emotional suffering, and help you build a meaningful, rich life within the reality of your health.
