Humble Steps Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, APHSW-C
My time as a hospice and palliative care counselor taught me that Chronic Pain or Illness is intimately connected to the nervous system's history. When medical interventions alone do not provide relief, I use Sensorimotor and AEDP frameworks to explore the deep-seated links between past traumatic stress and physical suffering and the EMDR chronic pain protocol to provide somatic resourcing and process medical traumatic experiences. Together, we will listen to your body’s symptoms with deep respect, working to soothe your nervous system and cultivate genuine self-appreciation for the body you inhabit.

Chronic illness and autoimmune diseases affect the quality of life. Every aspect of who we are is affected by chronic disease. Therapy provides a place to process the emotional pain associated with being ill and find ways to enjoy life again.

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.
