Chronic Pain
Dr. Nicole Montes
Psychologist, PsyD
During graduate school I trained on a chronic pain unit. I understand the unique challenges of living with chronic pain or disability and the impact it can have on client's lives. I use mindfulness based practices to help client's redefine their relationship to pain, we process the grief and loss associated with their health challenges, and navigate how to make life worth living with pain or disability.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Elemental Self Institute
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Erin, Megan, Baillie, and Hannah all live with and work with clients who experienced chronic pain or illness. While everyone's experience is different and we do not assume that we fully understand your pain, each of us also understands that there is a certain element of chronic illness or disability that is hard to "get" unless you have experienced it yourself, firsthand. We aim to make therapy make sense for you and your life, not diminish or invalidate your reality.

Chronic Pain
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.
