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.

I work with individuals navigating chronic pain and illness, especially when it impacts your relationship with your body, identity, and daily life. Living with ongoing health challenges often brings emotional complexity, including grief, frustration, or disconnection.

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.

McAllen is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, a predominantly Spanish-speaking border region where the daily realities of life on the US-Mexico border—immigration, family separation, cross-border economic uncertainty, and the psychological stress of living in a highly scrutinized border community—shape the mental health landscape in ways that are unlike those of any other part of Texas. Spanish-language therapy is not merely preferred but essential in McAllen, and the demand for bilingual practitioners far outpaces supply in a region that is chronically underserved for mental health professionals per capita. The Rio Grande Valley ranks among the most underserved regions in the country for mental health care, and while health systems like DHR Health and South Texas Health System provide some behavioral health services, many residents go without needed support. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related anxiety and trauma, family separation stress, economic uncertainty, and the complex identity challenges of life in a bicultural, binational border community.
