Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been shaped by their bodies in ways they did not choose. This may include serious or long‑term illness, chronic pain, complex diagnoses or diagnostic uncertainty, and the lingering impact of medical procedures and hospitalizations. For some, there is also medical trauma or other trauma woven in. For others, the ongoing symptoms themselves are what feel overwhelming.
Many of the adults, teens, and children I see look like they are managing from the outside. They keep up with school, work, or family responsibilities and often minimize what they are going through. Inside, there may be fear, grief, anger, exhaustion, or a sense of watching life move on without them.
I often work with people who are trying to navigate medical, school, or workplace systems that feel unsupportive, confusing, or exhausting, and to live a life that makes sense when very few people seem to understand what it is really like.
My work is not general support for illness. I focus on how pain, illness, and medical experiences live in the nervous system and shape mood, relationships, daily life, and sense of self. We make space for the very real impact of ongoing pain or fatigue, adjusting to new diagnoses or changes in functioning, repeated medical procedures or hospital stays, encounters with dismissive or disbelieving providers, and the losses and changes that come with a life that is different from what was expected. Together, we work with your body’s responses to what has happened, the stress of navigating care and systems, and the question of how to move forward in a way that feels possible for you. Supporting people whose lives have been shaped by illness and pain is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you carry that others often cannot see.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Living with chronic pain or illness can be physically and emotionally exhausting. It often affects your identity, relationships, and sense of control. In therapy, we explore the connection between body, stress, and emotional experience—supporting nervous system regulation, resilience, and self-compassion. This work is not about “fixing” your body, but about changing your relationship to what you’re carrying.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.
