Pat Maltby
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPC, LADC/MH, SAP
I have lived experience in this area, along with additional training. Chronic illness or pain has distinct challenges that can be difficult to face alone. I believe that even though I can't fix your physical problem, I can help you manage it and provide support while you work on being the best you possible.

Devon Davasher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I work with adults living with chronic pain or illness who are carrying not only physical symptoms, but also stress, grief, frustration, and isolation. Therapy can help you process the emotional impact, adjust to changes in daily life, strengthen coping skills, and find steadier ways to care for yourself.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.

Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
There is a difference between living with chronic pain and suffering with it. Suffering includes depression, unresolved grief, anxiety, isolation, and withdrawal. Chronic pain can cause these feelings because we grieve what we used to be able to do and feel that pain robs us of living a full life. Sometimes we feel like we lose ourselves entirely. When we are in a depressed or anxious mood state for a long period of time, we actually end up experiencing worse pain (and often worse sleep), which results in a vicious cycle that can feel impossible to break. The good news is that I have helped hundreds of patients improve how they respond to their pain and also lower their overall pain levels. They began to accept what they cannot control and also learn how to have more control over their pain levels through techniques such as physical pacing, relaxation, and clinical hypnosis. With board certifications in clinical health psychology, behavioral sleep medicine, and extensive training in clinical hypnosis, I can teach you skills to break the cycle of chronic pain and suffering.
