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.

Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I understand firsthand how difficult and isolating living with a chronic illness can be. Family members and friends try their best to be supportive, but ultimately can’t understand what we're experiencing. Doctors can be dismissive and are often as much of a source of frustration as our symptoms. Chronic illness isn’t just about physical symptoms that impact our quality of life, but also the emotional overwhelm of adjusting to new limitations. I provide a safe space to help those struggling with chronic illness process these overwhelming emotions and cope with the loss of a pre-diagnosis life in the hopes of gaining a better understanding of a post-diagnosis identity. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact symptom development and work towards an improved quality of life.

I create a supportive and non-judgemental space for clients to explore issues related to chronic pain, illness, cancer, and cancer survivorship. I have witnessed clients benefit greatly from using art therapy to process issues related to chronic pain and illness.

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.
