Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Coping with chronic illness is a balance of acceptance and change. I support people with chronic illness and disability in accepting themselves, teaching coping skills for pain and other symptoms, and advocating for the accommodations and services they need.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Lea Purczinsky
Pre-Licensed Professional, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
No one likes to feel sick... but what do you do when pain or illness is chronic? How do you not only cope, but choose to thrive and live life, even in the face of a lifelong diagnosis? Together we can face the grief, anger, or fear that you may be experiencing, and together navigate the story you are living. Lea practices from a trauma informed approach, and ultilizes modalities including EMDR.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Doolittle Therapy Group
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
By addressing the emotional responses and relational dynamics that often accompany chronic pain, we work to reduce isolation, increase understanding, and strengthen secure support systems. When individuals feel more emotionally supported and families learn how to respond with greater attunement, it can ease distress and create a more sustainable, compassionate way of coping with ongoing pain.
