Inclusive Counseling

Living with chronic health problems can affect far more than just your physical body—it can impact your mood, relationships, sense of identity, and how you move through daily life. Therapy can offer a space where you don’t have to minimize or explain away what you’re experiencing. Together, we can make room for the frustration, grief, fear, or exhaustion that often accompanies long-term health challenges, while also exploring ways to care for your emotional well-being alongside your physical health. Many people with chronic conditions find that therapy helps them process the unpredictability of symptoms, advocate for themselves in medical settings, and reconnect with parts of life that still feel meaningful and fulfilling. You deserve support not only for your health, but for the whole of your experience.

​

Our team will tailor therapy for your needs, which will likely include:

​

• Increasing mindfulness and adaptive coping to reduce the role of stress

• Problem solving treatment compliance

• Improving and practicing self-advocacy in school/workplace settings

• Encouraging and exploring how to self-pace, implement self-care, & when to push vs when to rest

• Learning acceptance skills and grieving related to the diagnosis and its limitations

• Explore your identity as it relates to the chronic illness(es) and when/if to disclose

​

Collectively, our team works with all ages and diagnoses. If the therapist specializes in an issue, it is listed on their page, which you can access by clicking their photo or name.
