Chronic Pain
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with chronic pain or illness, I help clients explore the complex relationship between the body, nervous system, and emotional experience. Living with ongoing physical symptoms can be exhausting and isolating, and therapy offers a supportive space to process these challenges. I integrate mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and mind–body approaches such as EFT (tapping) to help reduce stress reactivity, support the body’s natural healing processes, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with your body.

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
Cheryl Boucher
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Pain Reprocessing Therapy offers hope for people who feel trapped by chronic pain and exhausted from searching for answers. It helps you understand how the brain and nervous system can keep pain going, even when injuries have healed, and teaches you how to retrain your brain’s response to pain. As you begin to calm the brain’s pain alarm system, it becomes possible to relate to your symptoms with less anxiety and greater confidence and trust that your body is okay. For many people, this work creates space for real change, less suffering, more freedom, and the chance to recover the life pain has taken from you.

Chronic Pain
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of living with chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, or ongoing health concerns. Chronic illness can profoundly affect your sense of identity, relationships, independence, and connection with your body, often bringing grief, fear, frustration, anxiety, or a sense of losing the life you once imagined. In addition to supporting the emotional impact of illness, I offer integrative mind-body and somatic modalities that explore the deeper emotional patterns, unresolved experiences, and underlying factors that may be contributing to or interacting with your physical symptoms and overall well-being. Together, we work to cultivate greater nervous-system regulation, self-compassion, body awareness, and trust while honoring the complexity of your individual healing journey.

15 Years Experience
Online in Columbia, SC
Columbia is South Carolina's state capital and home to the University of South Carolina, creating a city with a significant student population, major public health infrastructure, and the complex racial and political dynamics of a Deep South capital navigating its Confederate history and ongoing racial equity challenges. Fort Jackson, the US Army's largest initial entry training post, is located in Columbia and brings a significant military population whose mental health needs—particularly around transition and trauma—are an important part of the local care landscape. Prisma Health provides behavioral health services to the community, and a private therapy sector serves the city's mix of students, government workers, and military families. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, military and veteran transition, race and identity in a historically complex Southern capital, anxiety, depression, and the political stress of living in a contentious state capital environment.
