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.

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.

Leslie Crabtree
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Leslie has personally experienced chronic pain and illness and greatly empathizes with others who are also struggling. She helps clients work to rewire their brains to create new neural pathways to help the brain move from fight or flight to relaxation. Over time, this often greatly improves, if not totally eliminates many chronic illnesses.
