During our time together, we will spend time working to navigate through the pain and discomfort of trauma and learn to grow through discomfort.
Hello, my name is Keely. I enjoy engaging with individuals who are working through life transitions. While much of my experience has been with adults with behavioral health issues, I enjoy working with clients looking to make a major change in their life. Substance use disorders, addiction, and trauma affect people from all walks of life, and their effects are far and wide. These conditions are serious, recurrent, and treatable. Trauma informs much of our lives, it is a product of what happens to us, it is never a personal failing. We learn to cope with our trauma over time in ways to protect ourselves.

Mental well-being is essential to overall health and living a happy life. However, the struggles of life and the daily negative experiences can take a toll on our mental health. We may feel unsafe or uncomfortable to discuss these issues with our friends/families. Facing these challenges on our own can feel daunting, and impossible at times. Thus, it is essential to have an outlet to discuss our emotional struggles, all the while having a supportive, empowering guide during this journey.

Chronic Pain Therapists

How does chronic pain therapy work?

Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.

What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?

Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.

Are there new treatments for chronic pain?

Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.

How long does therapy for chronic pain take?

There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
