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
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’ve been told it’s “just stress,” that “your labs look fine,” or that maybe it’s “all in your head.” But deep down, you know something’s not right. Living with chronic pain or illness—especially when it’s invisible to others—can feel both physically exhausting and emotionally isolating. Maybe you’re grieving the life you once had, constantly justifying your experience to people who don’t understand, or quietly wondering if you’re just supposed to push through. Dr. Jenny Shields offers something different: a space where you don’t have to prove your pain to be taken seriously.
With warmth, respect, and clinical expertise, Dr. Shields works with people navigating the complex realities of illness—whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis, are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, or have been managing symptoms for years. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and trauma-informed care, she helps you move through grief, frustration, and fear with compassion. Together, you’ll explore how to live a meaningful life in a body that doesn’t always cooperate—on your own terms.
