Welcome, We're so glad you’re here!

We honor that there is a strong correlation between trauma and the development of chronic illness and pain as the stress of trauma and lingering impacts effect our whole body (nervous system, digestive system, hormones, inflammation, immune system, organ functioning, etc). We take a relational approach and we are in this together. We support however you choose to manage your chronic pain/illness. We combine evidenced based modalities to heal these impacts on your body and bring back regulation that decreases symptoms and associated stress of having a chronic illness/pain.

Chronic Pain
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Living with chronic illness or persistent pain can feel like navigating life with an unpredictable and often invisible weight. Many people describe not only the physical symptoms, but also the emotional toll — grief, frustration, isolation, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection from the body that is meant to feel like home.
In therapy, we make space for both the physical and emotional reality of your experience. Chronic symptoms are not viewed as something to “override” or simply cope with, but as part of a complex mind-body process that deserves attention, respect, and care.
Using a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach integrated with Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down and gently explore how your body is carrying experience. The “felt sense” becomes an important guide here — helping you notice subtle shifts, needs, and layers of meaning that may not be accessible through thinking alone.
For many clients, chronic illness is intertwined with nervous system activation, past stress or trauma, and long-standing patterns of over-adaptation or self-abandonment. Therapy supports you in building a more compassionate relationship with your body, so it no longer feels like something you are fighting against, but something you can begin to listen to and live alongside.
This work does not replace medical care, but it complements it by supporting emotional regulation, reducing internal pressure, and helping you reconnect with a sense of agency and internal safety, even when symptoms remain present.
Clients often find that as their relationship with their body shifts, there is more capacity for rest, self-trust, and moments of ease — even within ongoing physical challenges.
This approach is especially supportive for highly sensitive individuals and creatives who are navigating chronic illness alongside identity shifts, grief, or changes in life direction.

Chronic Pain
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
