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.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Chronic pain can be debilitating both physically and emotionally. A diagnosis of a life threatening disease often leads to feelings of fear and hopelessness. In working with many patients over the years, both as a massage therapist, and as a psychotherapist, I have found that energy work, meditation, and guided imagery can be very effective in alleviating physical pain and creating more ease in how we think about disease. We are more than our illnesses, and to get a sense of who we are, apart from our pain, can allow us to live more fully within ourselves and our families.
