Chronic Pain or Illness
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.

Dr. Evette Addai
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Are you or your child finding it hard to cope with your child's medical diagnosis? Are you trying to find ways to deal the stress of having your child swallow different medications, watching blood sugar, or getting shots/pokes? Maybe your child asks questions about why they are different from other kids and you would like to know how to respond? I can help you and your child to find empowering ways to accept their emotions around an illness, evidence based ways to help with behaviors needed to keep up with the doctors orders, and a safe space to talk about the stressors from the illness and also to highlight the wins.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.
