Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
I have chronic pain myself, and I've been the victim of many physicians who dismiss me and my pain. Personally, I understand you, and professionally I know how to help you! Mindfulness, guided muscle relaxation, and meditation have been shown in large studies as well as in my office to significantly decrease the frequency, intensity, and length of time that pain persists.

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.

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.

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.
