Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a high-functioning woman grappling with the daily challenges of parenting while managing a chronic illness like Lyme disease? I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience, specializing in supporting individuals facing chronic health challenges.
Living with a chronic illness such as Chronic Lyme disease can profoundly impact every aspect of your life. I have lived with Chronic Lyme for 12 years, while parenting two young boys. From managing unpredictable symptoms to navigating treatment regimens and coping with the emotional toll, the journey can be daunting. As someone who understands the unique difficulties of balancing parenting, career, and self-care amid chronic illness, I provide compassionate support and practical strategies to help you navigate these complexities.
In our sessions, we’ll address the enormous challenges of chronic illness, from the physical limitations to the emotional and psychological impact. Together, we’ll develop coping strategies tailored to your unique situation, explore ways to prioritize self-care without guilt, and foster resilience in the face of adversity.
My approach combines evidence-based therapies with therapeutic coaching to empower you in managing your health and well-being effectively. Whether you’re adjusting to new limitations, managing stress, or seeking ways to maintain a fulfilling life, I’m dedicated to supporting your journey as a parent and individual.
Take the first step towards managing your chronic illness with resilience and grace. Contact me today to start your journey towards greater well-being and empowerment.

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.

Dr. Lisa C. Watson
Psychologist, PsyD, MPH
In my approach of using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for chronic pain or illness, I start by assessing how pain affects daily life. I educate clients on how thoughts and emotions can intensify pain, teaching them to challenge negative thoughts like catastrophizing. We set achievable goals for activities despite pain and practice relaxation techniques to reduce physical tension. Mindfulness helps manage pain sensations. Homework reinforces skills learned, like relaxation exercises. Regular review ensures we adjust strategies as needed. This personalized approach aims to empower clients in managing chronic pain and improving their quality of life.
