Support for Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness in Dallas-Fort Worth
Living with chronic pain or chronic illness is more than a physical experience—it’s emotional, psychological, and deeply personal. The day-to-day toll can include not only fatigue and discomfort but also grief, isolation, medical trauma, and the loss of a once-familiar sense of self. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, disbelieved, or alone in your experience, you’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone. Your pain is real, and your story matters.
At our trauma-informed therapy practice in Dallas-Fort Worth, and virtually to Texas residents, we offer compassionate support for individuals navigating the emotional impact of chronic illness and persistent pain. We recognize that the nervous system plays a central role in how we experience pain and illness. For many, trauma—whether from past experiences or from the medical system itself—can amplify symptoms and increase distress. That’s why we use modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Experiencing® to help gently process trauma stored in the body and support nervous system regulation.
These approaches are not about “fixing” you—they’re about creating space to explore your experience safely, reconnect with your body, and build tools to manage the emotional and physical burdens of chronic conditions. Whether your pain has a clear medical diagnosis or remains unexplained, therapy can help reduce emotional suffering, build resilience, and increase your sense of control and connection.
Our work is also rooted in Health at Every Size® (HAES) principles. We affirm all bodies and reject the harmful idea that your worth or health is determined by your size. We also acknowledge the impact of weight stigma and systemic oppression in healthcare, and we hold space for your lived experiences with deep respect and validation.
You don’t have to carry the weight of chronic illness or pain on your own. If you're looking for a trauma-informed therapist in Texas who understands the intersection of physical and emotional pain, we’re here to walk with you—at your pace, with compassion and care.
