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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I believe that in order to be fully supported with chronic pain or illness you need to feel respected, heard, and understood by me and your medical providers. My approach works to identify and process the underlying emotions that often come with these experiences (grief, loss etc) that often come with these experiences. My hope is that by working together you won't feel alone while touching the depths of these emotions, while I gently guide you through them by helping you identify psychological and physical tools to help with coping and/or healing. I have post-doctoral fellowship training and experience in psychosocial oncology, kidney transplant, sexual health/ gender affirming care, and chronic pain management through University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Children's Hospital Colorado, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our physical and emotional health are intimately connected. When you are living a body that is unreliable or in pain, that can create relationship stress, depression and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have focused on the unique challenges faced by patients or caregivers who are coping with serious illness.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Monarch-Therapies Kathryn Schormann
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. Living with a chronic illness or caring for someone with a chronic illness can be overwhelming. Transitioning from what has been to that "new normal" can be scary. I have been there and live through it myself. Whether it is dealing with transition in your health, or your loved ones health, I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. We may integrate some IFS techniques along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to walk you through any anxiety, depression and pain and help you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling like you are living your best self.
