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.

You don't have to carry this alone

Living with (or caring for someone with) chronic pain,cancer, or long-term illness can quietly shrink your world. Even when you’resurrounded by people, it’s easy to feel misunderstood, isolated or emotionally exhausted.

Our paid group therapy programs offer more than conversation. They provide a clinically guided, supportive space where you can build practical skills and make sense of what you’re going through. You can reconnect with a sense of meaning and belonging, alongside others who genuinely “get it.”
