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.

How Our Support Groups Work

Steps to Join a Support Group

1

Book a Free Group Fit Call

In a brief 15-minute consultation, we’ll discuss your needs and determine whether our chronic pain, cancer, or caregiver support group is the right fit, and whether a paid or free support group is most appropriate for you.

2

Choose Your Group

Together, we’ll identify the small support group that fits your needs, led by a licensed clinical psychologist. You can choose to attend in-person at our main office in Cape Coral or via telehealth, depending on your preference.
