Are you a high-functioning woman grappling with the daily challenges of parenting while managing a chronic illness like Lyme disease? I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience, specializing in supporting individuals facing chronic health challenges.
Living with a chronic illness such as Chronic Lyme disease can profoundly impact every aspect of your life. I have lived with Chronic Lyme for 12 years, while parenting two young boys. From managing unpredictable symptoms to navigating treatment regimens and coping with the emotional toll, the journey can be daunting. As someone who understands the unique difficulties of balancing parenting, career, and self-care amid chronic illness, I provide compassionate support and practical strategies to help you navigate these complexities.
In our sessions, we’ll address the enormous challenges of chronic illness, from the physical limitations to the emotional and psychological impact. Together, we’ll develop coping strategies tailored to your unique situation, explore ways to prioritize self-care without guilt, and foster resilience in the face of adversity.
My approach combines evidence-based therapies with therapeutic coaching to empower you in managing your health and well-being effectively. Whether you’re adjusting to new limitations, managing stress, or seeking ways to maintain a fulfilling life, I’m dedicated to supporting your journey as a parent and individual.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Chronic pain or illness is a multifaceted issue. There is, of course, the pain or illness but there is also the fear of feeling more pain or ill, and the constant belief that they "should" be more productive. Additionally, most of my client's struggle with accepting that they are not making this up, they are not being lazy, they are not 'conveniently" hurting or ill when something needs to be done. I can help you desensitize and reframe all of these negative beliefs and help you release the fear of more pain which is actually causing more pain. Lastly, with EMDR in many cases I can reduce or eliminate chronic pain symptoms.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Louise Perry
Therapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
Living with chronic pain can be exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming. It’s not just the physical discomfort—it’s the emotional toll, the frustration of feeling misunderstood, and the challenge of finding ways to live fully despite the pain. My personal journey with these struggles has deeply shaped my approach as a psychotherapist, giving me insight into the resilience it takes to navigate life with ongoing physical challenges.
I bring this understanding to my work, alongside professional training in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore the emotional impact of chronic pain, reconnect with your inner resources, and find ways to build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
Therapy with me is adaptable to your needs and energy levels. Whether through talking, creative expression, or a combination of both, we’ll work together at your pace to address the unique challenges you face. Compassionate, non-judgmental, and deeply committed, I am here to help you process your experience and uncover new possibilities for growth, connection, and healing.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Shannon Fowler
Psychologist, PhD
I have worked in primary care offices throughout my training. I developed skills to help those who suffer from chronic pain and chronic medical illness. Sometimes it is about helping the person adjust behaviors to be more adherent to what is recommended. Other times it is working through the emotions that may come with having these diagnoses.
