​Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain conditions can be debilitating. You may even feel like life as you know it has changed forever. What psychotherapy with a psychologist offers is a chance to find meaning, purpose, and ability instead of disability. Many times this means working toward living the life you want despite your medical condition. This can be particularly complex if you're trying to simultaneously make it through school or navigate early adulthood.
 
Everyone's experience of illness is unique, but there are many issues that commonly arise that psychotherapy can help with: 
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Confidence in social situations
  • Maintaining friendships
  • Psychological Pain Management techniques
  • Sleep interventions
  • Avoiding the “sick role”
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Exploring values and valued action
  • Making it through cycles of treatment
