Chronic Illness & Medical Trauma Support in Dunwoody

What This Care Addresses

Grief for the life or identity chronic illness has changed, even while continuing to function day to day

The exhausting psychological toll of chronic pain or fatigue that doesn't resolve

Medical trauma, including the lasting impact of being dismissed, disbelieved, or mistreated by healthcare providers

Anxiety connected to symptom flares, medical appointments, or uncertainty about your condition's course

Depression that develops alongside or independent of a chronic physical condition

Isolation from friends or family who don't fully understand the reality of living with an invisible or chronic illness

Our Approach to Chronic Illness Support

Therapy that takes your physical experience seriously as a genuine part of your psychological reality, not a separate issue to set aside

Processing medical trauma directly, including the specific injury of not being believed by providers you needed to trust

Grief-informed work for the losses chronic illness brings, without rushing you toward acceptance before you're ready

Pain-informed psychotherapy approaches, including CBT adapted for chronic pain and illness management

Coordination with your medical team when that collaboration supports more integrated care
