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. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing therapeutic support for individuals living with chronic pain. I understand that chronic pain can significantly impact not only your physical well-being but also your emotional health, relationships, and overall quality of life.
In our sessions, we will explore the complex relationship between pain, emotions, and daily functioning. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, we will work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns related to pain, helping you develop a more positive and empowering perspective.
I also incorporate mindfulness and relaxation strategies to help you cultivate awareness and acceptance of your pain. These practices can assist in reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm, allowing you to better manage discomfort.
Additionally, I emphasize psychoeducation to help you understand the nature of chronic pain and its effects on your life. By gaining insight into the mind-body connection, you can develop effective coping strategies and self-care routines tailored to your unique needs.
My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can express your feelings and experiences, empowering you to reclaim control over your life. Together, we can work towards improving your emotional resilience, enhancing your quality of life, and finding ways to navigate the challenges of chronic pain.
