Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
From the time I was a small child, I was no stranger to being around people living in chronic pain and illness. I became very accustomed to caring for and assisting others experiencing physical pain. My maternal grandmother was diagnosed with cancer just before I was born. I went on to work in health care settings, including nursing and rehabilitative homes and centers, and continued to provide services to an aging population. I also have personal experience caring for a deceased spouse who suffered with cancer. This personal experience was far more educational than any advanced degree or training program with which I participated, in terms of understanding so many important factors involved in the treatment and care of those living with chronic pain or illness, as well as their families. Since that time (2008), I have worked with a number of clients individually, and their families, diagnosed with cancer and other terminal illnesses. Coupled with my early-on personal and professional learning experiences, this is a specialty area of mine that comes very naturally. Psychological pain and "disease" is also an area for which I am no stranger, in terms of experiencing the effects of secondary traumatization (vicarious traumatization). Often times those individuals who are not receiving the help and support they need may pass these conditions onto others, just like with physical communicable "dis-eases", causing others to experience these "states". It is so important that those surrounding these individuals are also provided the help, care, and support that is needed so it is not displaced onto others, who may fall victim to their outbursts or difficulties.

Lauren Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC
I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy which is a therapeutic approach for reducing fear related to pain by learning more about neuroplastic pain vs structural pain .I specialize in providing therapy for individuals with chronic pain or illness and can bring my own experience to the work I do. I have migraines and a partner with chronic illness as well as chronic pain, so I identify with both people with chronic pain as well as caregivers and partners of people with chronic pain and the challenges this presents for both..

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.
