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.

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
Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Pain is so much more than a number on a Pain Scale. Your activity, your relationships, your thoughts, and your mood can all affect your experience of pain. Together we are going to examine all of the different things that make your pain worse. We will discover how you're daily activities and your beliefs around pain can fuel the cycle of pain. We will then develop tools to interrupt that cycle and do more with less pain. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating chronic pain.

Chronic Pain
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Chronic Pain whether caused by accidents, injuries, diseases, aging and emotional factors robs us of opportunities for happiness and fulfillment and often impacts every aspect of our lives. I offer clients a comprehensive approach to reduce and manage pain incorporating strategies like cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis, EMDR, mindfulness, exercise, and nutritional guidance. As a chronic back pain sufferer myself for many years, I have learned about the causes of pain and the wide variety of tools that can be used to cope, reduce and in some cases eliminate it all together. Sometimes, working with other health professionals in an inter-disciplinary manner offers the best combination of treatment. During out time together we will discuss, evaluate and decide together what might work best for you.
