Chronic Pain
Weston Pew
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCPC
Navigating chronic pain or illness, whether it's yourself or a loved one, can feel overwhelming. Fear, uncertainty, and endless questions about treatment and the future haunt you and keep you up at night. As someone who has personally faced this challenge and supported others through it, I offer a holistic approach to healing that addresses the mind, heart, body, and soul. My work integrates Narrative Therapy to reframe your journey, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster self-compassion, Somatic Therapy to release tension and reconnect with your body, and Existential/Spiritual Inquiry to explore deeper meanings. Together, we’ll build emotional resilience, provide clarity, and help you reclaim a sense of agency, so you can move forward with purpose and grace. Reach out for a free consultation, and let’s explore a personalized approach to support your healing.

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
Dr. Jeffrey Kehoe
Counselor/Therapist, ND, L.Ac, BCB, FABORM
While there is often a physical component leading to chronic pain and illness, we cannot disregard the role of the mind-body connection. Biofeedback and acupuncture are particularly effective in breaking these cycles with regular practice and treatment. Additional support could include naturopathic therapies, therapeutic exercise, functional breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.
