Chronic Pain therapists in Taylor, Texas TX
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.

Jane Green MA LPA-IP
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.

Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A multidisciplinary approach is often used to address both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may be employed to help individuals manage pain-related distress, challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about their condition, and develop effective coping strategies. Mindfulness-based interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), can also be beneficial in promoting acceptance of pain and fostering greater psychological flexibility. Additionally, therapy may involve education about pain management techniques, relaxation training, and lifestyle modifications to improve overall quality of life despite the presence of chronic pain or illness.
