Chronic Pain
Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Living with chronic pain or unexplained physical symptoms can feel isolating, confusing, and exhausting, especially when there are no clear answers or when others cannot fully see or understand what you are experiencing. I offer a supportive space for those who are navigating the emotional and psychological impact of chronic pain, illness, or ongoing physical symptoms. I understand, both professionally and personally, what it can feel like to live with discomfort that doesn’t have a simple explanation and to carry the uncertainty that often comes with it. That experience has deepened my compassion for those who feel dismissed, overwhelmed, or discouraged in their search for relief and understanding.
In our work together, we focus not only on coping with symptoms, but also on the emotional toll that pain and uncertainty can take, such as anxiety, fear, frustration, grief, and feeling disconnected from your body or daily life. I use a supportive, skills-based approach to help clients manage distress, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild a sense of stability and control where possible. When appropriate, I integrate CBT and DBT-informed strategies to help clients navigate unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and the stress that often accompanies chronic conditions. Therapy can also provide space to process the grief and life changes that come with ongoing physical challenges.
My goal is to offer a space where you do not have to explain or justify your experience—where your pain is believed, your emotions are valid, and you are supported as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. There is room for hope, even when answers feel unclear. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, supported, and less alone in what you are carrying.

Chronic Pain
Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics, Somatic Counseling & Bodywork
Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Living with chronic pain or illness can be physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially exhausting. Our work honors the wisdom of your body while supporting greater resilience, self-compassion, and a more connected relationship with yourself. We address healing medical trauma, developmental trauma, and chronic stress, all of which create inflammation and chronic illness and pain.
Note: I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.

We empower you to regain a sense of agency, even when your body feels unpredictable. We provide a space to process the grief of health changes while teaching practical mindfulness and coping techniques to improve your quality of life.
