Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Psychological Associate in Independent Practice
Chronic pain and chronic illness can make it difficult to feel in control of your life. Many illnesses can actually physiologically affect the function of your mind. Added to that there is the situation of dealing with pain, illness, disability and uncertainty. Talking to someone who can understand and acknowledge that can be helpful in itself. Exploring ways to cope with all those feelings helps even more.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Illness and chronic pain feed our sense of hopelessness and depression - and then depression makes our pain worse. We can break this cycle and find ways to work with our pain and our thinking, to find more joy and connection in life, even if we don't know the direction our illness is going.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.
