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.

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.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
