CHRONIC ILLNESS & Chronic PAIN

Coming to terms with a chronic illness often entails a process of adjustment and acceptance, marked by shifts in identity, lifestyle, and future expectations. Counseling facilitates this journey of acceptance by helping clients explore their beliefs, values, and priorities in light of their health condition. Through introspection and self-discovery, clients cultivate a sense of acceptance, resilience, and purpose, allowing them to embrace life with greater stability and meaning.

The holistic support chronic illness counseling provides transcends symptom management, enriching clients' overall quality of life. By addressing the emotional, social, and existential elements of illness experience, counseling creates a sense of empowerment, connection, and hope. I incorporate treatment approaches such as brainspotting, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy to help clients cope with sudden life-altering changes. From stress management and relaxation techniques to problem-solving and goal-setting, clients are given the tools to face challenges proactively and enhance their resilience.
