Chronic Pain or Illness
Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Whether you’ve been feeling ill and are searching for a diagnosis, or if you have been dealing with health issues your whole life, we get it. Dealing with illness and disability can be really stressful. Unfortunately, dealing with a broken health care system, burn out support people, and difficult work places can make things much more intense. A lot of our patients enter therapy feeling isolated, scared, and angry with few places to vent, and unsure of what skills or resources they can access.
We always start by listening. We’re on your team, we’ll hear you and help you figure out what to do next. Whether it’s how to advocate for your needs with a doctor, how to manage your anxiety around an uncertain future, or how to make your life more functional, we can work on skills and plan together. Life is hard, but we have your back.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been proven to be one of the best treatments for anxiety symptoms. Using mindfulness, we can help diminish the magnitude of pain, and help you sort out the problems we need to accept and how to best fight for the things we can change.

The Mental Wellness Center, Inc
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW & LCPC's
At The Mental Wellness Center, we offer a compassionate and holistic approach to managing chronic pain using Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and compassionate care. AEDP helps clients process emotional experiences related to chronic pain, fostering healing through positive emotional connection and resilience-building. EMDR is used to address any trauma or distress associated with pain, helping to reduce the emotional burden it carries. By combining these therapies with deep compassion, we support clients in reclaiming a sense of control, improving their emotional well-being, and finding relief in both mind and body.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Individuals may experience challenges related to chronic pain or illness due to various factors, such as physical injuries, medical conditions, or emotional stress. When someone is facing this difficulty, I offer support by aiding them in understanding their pain and its impact on their life. Through therapeutic techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, I assist in managing symptoms and developing effective coping strategies. Additionally, I guide individuals in exploring their experiences and empowering them to discover meaning and purpose despite their condition. In cases where there is a partner or spouse, I collaborate with both individuals to enhance communication and provide mutual support as they navigate the challenges associated with chronic pain or illness.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.
