Chronic Pain Treatment
Evidence-Based, Compassionate Care for Lasting Pain Relief
Chronic Pain
Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of life—from sleep and energy to mood, relationships, work, and overall wellbeing. At McLean Health Psychology Specialists, I provide specialized chronic pain therapy in McLean, Virginia, combining evidence-based health psychology with a compassionate, whole-person approach designed to address both the physical and emotional effects of persistent pain.
As a board-certified health psychologist, I recognize that chronic pain involves complex interactions between the body, brain, stress response, and daily functioning. Through mind-body therapy for chronic pain, I help clients better understand these connections while developing practical strategies to manage symptoms, reduce distress, improve resilience, and restore quality of life.
Using scientifically supported treatments—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and clinical hypnosis—I partner with clients to help them regain a greater sense of balance, vitality, and confidence. Whether you are living with back pain, fibromyalgia, migraine, arthritis, or another chronic medical condition, my goal is to help you move beyond symptom management and reclaim the life you want to live.
