Chronic Pain
Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Living with chronic pain or a medical condition often changes more than just your body. Many people find themselves managing energy carefully, anticipating flares, and feeling pressure to explain or justify symptoms to others. Over time, the nervous system can stay braced, which can increase both emotional distress and physical sensitivity.
Therapy does not assume symptoms are “all in your head.” Instead, we work with the connection between the body and stress response system. By gently processing past medical experiences, fear around symptoms, and the ongoing effort of coping, your system can begin to feel safer and less reactive. The goal is not to deny the reality of your condition, but to reduce the constant vigilance, fear, and isolation that often accompany it and help you regain steadiness in daily life.

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.
