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
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.

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.

Chronic Pain
Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect every part of your life—physically, emotionally, and mentally. It’s more than just managing symptoms; it’s coping with grief, limitations, and often feeling misunderstood or isolated. I work with individuals navigating ongoing health challenges to process the emotional toll, build effective coping strategies, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and identity beyond the illness. Together, we’ll create space for healing, resilience, and hope—even in the midst of pain

Chronic Pain
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.
