Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Our counseling services for chronic pain or illness offer a supportive sanctuary for individuals navigating the complexities and challenges of living with long-term health conditions. Understanding that chronic pain and illness affect not just the body but also the mind and spirit, we provide empathetic, holistic care designed to improve quality of life, enhance coping strategies, and foster resilience and hope.
Compassionate Support for Managing Chronic Conditions
* Holistic Approach: We recognize that chronic pain and illness can touch every aspect of life—physical, emotional, psychological, and social. Our treatment strategies are comprehensive, addressing not just the symptoms but the whole person.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is particularly effective in helping clients manage the psychological impacts of living with chronic conditions, such as coping with pain, dealing with anxiety or depression, and adjusting lifestyle changes.
* Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques can aid in reducing the stress response, which is often exacerbated in chronic conditions, and can help manage pain levels more effectively.
* Pain Management Education: We provide education on pain management techniques and the relationship between psychological states and physical pain, empowering clients with knowledge and tools to better control their symptoms.
* Support Groups: Facilitating access to support groups and community resources, allowing clients to connect with others who share similar experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support.
Goals of Therapy for Chronic Pain or Illness
Our aims in providing therapy for chronic pain or illness include:
* Enhanced Quality of Life: Support clients in finding joy and satisfaction in life despite the challenges of their condition.
* Effective Coping Strategies: Develop and reinforce coping mechanisms for dealing with both the physical symptoms and emotional stress of chronic conditions.
* Emotional Resilience: Foster emotional resilience, helping clients to adjust to their situation, deal with feelings of grief or loss, and cultivate a hopeful, positive outlook.
* Improved Self-Care: Encourage practices and routines that promote physical health, mental wellbeing, and self-compassion.
* Strengthened Autonomy: Empower individuals to take control over their lives and make informed decisions about their care, reinforcing their sense of autonomy and independence.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.

Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
I am very good with pain; I have a number of "mind tricks" that I will teach you, to alleviate or remove the pain. I teach a monthly class at Hope Connections for Cancer Support in Bethesda, MD, "Hypnosis for Symptom Relief," that helps people with cancer reduce their symptoms and create a healing mindset.
