Can therapy actually help with physical symptoms?

Therapy won’t make symptoms disappear, but it can reduce stress, improve your emotional response to pain or illness, and help you feel more in control.

What kinds of chronic conditions do you specialize in?

We work with people managing chronic pain (like back, neck, or joint pain), autoimmune conditions (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), metabolic conditions (like diabetes), GI issues (like IBS), cancer, and sleep-related concerns. We also support caregivers of those living with these conditions.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy with you?

No. Whether you have a formal diagnosis or are just struggling with ongoing symptoms, you're welcome here. Our focus is on your lived experience, not labels.

Why Your Provider Referred You

Chronic pain and illness affect more than your body. Your provider recognized that the emotional side of what you’re managing deserves support too. You may be feeling:

Exhausted and Frustrated

Ongoing symptoms can wear you down physically and emotionally. It can feel like you’re constantly pushing through with limited energy.

Struggling to Manage Worry

Chronic illness, pain, depression, and anxiety often co-occur. It can feel like you’re always on edge, and every new sensation sets off alarm bells.

Overwhelmed by Lifestyle Changes

Shifts in routines, habits, and daily functioning can pile up fast, making life feel harder to manage and easier to withdraw from.

How Therapy Can Help

Counseling for chronic pain or chronic illness helps you reduce how much symptoms interfere with daily life.

Regain Control: Reclaim agency by setting step-wise goals and using tools like pacing and challenging limiting thoughts.
