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.

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.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Chronic pain and illness don't just live in the body, they live in the nervous system, in the identity shifts that come with a changed body, in the grief of losing the life you thought you'd have. And they're often made harder by how invisible or dismissed that experience can feel. I'm Sarah, and I work with people navigating chronic pain and illness using a body-informed approach (Somatic EMDR therapy) to help the nervous system release what it's been bracing against, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for clients where depression, grief, or emotional exhaustion have become part of the picture too. For my queer, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous clients, chronic illness also intersects with identity in ways that deserve care and nuance. You deserve a therapist who understands all of it.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I trained in chronic pain management in many hospitals during my PhD program and beyond. I have since worked in hospitals and clinics for many years before transitioning into private practice. I understand much of the medical lingo and the confusing messaging one can receive from MDs - I can help put you at ease while also teaching you to advocate for yourself around your illness. The biggest component with chronic pain, of course, is acknowledging the interplay between mental and physical pain - "it's all in your head" is a dismissive statement some may hear, but also we work from the truth that pain is somewhat in your head, and that is how a psychologist can help you learn to manage physical pain.
