Chronic Pain
Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
Living with chronic pain or a chronic illness can be incredibly draining, not just physically, but emotionally too. It’s hard carrying the stress of symptoms, appointments, fatigue, and the feeling that life takes so much more effort than it seems to for everyone else. Many people also struggle with anxiety, frustration, grief, isolation, or feeling misunderstood by those around them. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to minimize what you’re going through or hold it all together alone. Together, we focus on finding support, coping tools, self-compassion, and ways to make life feel a little lighter, more manageable, and more supportive of your needs.

Chronic Pain
Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
I have a strong interest in helping people reduce or eliminate chronic pain using evidence-based, mind-body approaches. I’ve completed a certification in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a cutting-edge method for treating chronic pain, and continue to deepen my knowledge through advanced training in related mind-body techniques. These approaches are grounded in the understanding that, in many cases, chronic pain is not caused by structural damage or disease, but by neural circuits in the brain that become sensitized—often as a protective response to fear, stress, or unresolved emotions. This pain is very real, but it is what we call “neuroplastic,” meaning it can change. The brain can be retrained to stop sending pain signals once it no longer perceives a threat. Through education, emotional processing, and targeted strategies, I help clients break the cycle of pain and begin to reclaim comfort, confidence, and control in their bodies and lives.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Coping with chronic illness is a balance of acceptance and change. I support people with chronic illness and disability in accepting themselves, teaching coping skills for pain and other symptoms, and advocating for the accommodations and services they need.
