Chronic Pain or Illness
Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People mean well, but they just don't get it. From the folks who "helpfully" suggest you try yoga and tea tree oil to the folks who absolutely refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room, you find yourself working twice as hard, first to manage your pain and condition, and second to make sure you aren't bothering the people around you. This goes double if you have an invisible disability.
I get it. Let's give you a space where you can unmask. A space where you can be you without having to worry about bothering people, complaining too much, being too graphic. I've heard it all. Let's build a space together where we can look at some of the underlying psychology to give you tools to help build the life you want to be living.

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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Olivia Gibson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW/Therapist
I specialize in helping adults recover from chronic pain and other mind body symptoms using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), an evidence based approach developed from neuroscience research. PRT helps people understand how the brain can generate real pain and symptoms even when the body is safe. Together, we work to reduce fear of symptoms, change unhelpful pain patterns, and retrain the brain's response to sensations. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the latest research on neuroplastic pain. Many clients find that as they learn to respond to symptoms with greater safety and confidence, pain begins to decrease and life opens up again. I offer virtual therapy for individuals seeking a lasting path toward recovery.
