Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I use psychoneuroimmunology to work with immuno-compromised clients and those with afflications of all kinds, at uncovering root cause. Often we trace it back to a correlation between symptoms and a mental/emotional signature. We use a combination of modalities to get there and then to reprogram, including hypnosis, EMT, NLP, Parts work, childhood regression, and others. For those with chronic pain, I use several different hypnotic frameworks with NLP to lessen the intensity, severity and frequency of the pain. An important part of our success formula is to see ourselves in our future without the pain, and to feel and sustain high-frequency emotions like calm, peace, and others; I train you in how to do this. Because the subsconscious doesn't know the difference between present and future, we entrain your chemical makeup to biologically change to that future version of yourself who is no longer in pain.

Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My work with chronic pain focuses on the complex interaction between the mind, body, and nervous system. I use evidence-based cognitive behavioral and biopsychosocial approaches to help patients better understand the factors that can influence pain—including stress, emotions, sleep, activity, and patterns of attention and avoidance—while developing practical strategies to improve functioning and quality of life. Treatment is collaborative and individualized, with an emphasis on helping patients build a more effective relationship with pain and reconnect with the activities and values that matter most.

Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
Chronic pain is a condition that affects multiple aspects of a person's life and can exacerbate both depression and anxiety symptoms. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy for chronic pain to improve one's quality of life by accepting the reality of having pain in your life and learning how to move forward it. In addition, a client will learn several relaxation and cognitive skills to reduce and manage the pain as best as possible in conjunction with your current medical treatment plan.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.
