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.

Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
In treating chronic pain, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you reclaim your quality of life. Together, we focus on concrete pain-coping strategies, including relaxation techniques and mindfulness, to quiet the physical stress response and alter how your brain processes pain signals. We also target distressing thought patterns like catastrophizing—which can amplify physical suffering—replacing them with grounded, empowering perspectives. Using ACT, our ultimate goal shifts from fighting the pain to building a rich, value-driven life alongside it, ensuring that chronic pain no longer dictates your choices, goals, or daily well-being.

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.
