Chronic Pain & Wellbeing

Specialized Therapy for Chronic Pain, & Persistent Symptoms, Anxiety, depression, OCD

We start with education because when we understand the underlying cause of our symptoms they hold less power over us.

We start with education because when we understand the underlying cause of our symptoms they hold less power over us.


Living with chronic pain, persistent symptoms, anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, or mind-body conditions can feel like having a full-time job you never applied for. Often, chronic pain is not a solo issue and frequently travels alongside other challenges. 


Persistent symptoms are often accompanied by anxiety, fear, obsessive thinking, health worries, stress, depression, perfectionism, and nervous system exhaustion, making everyday life feel overwhelming. 


This is where specialized therapy can make a significant difference. 


At Souza Therapy and Wellness, I focus on evidence-based, neuroscience-informed therapy specifically for chronic pain, persistent symptoms, anxiety, OCD, and related mind-body conditions. With an emphasis on nervous system education, I employ Pain Reprocessing Therapy and other integrated modalities to help individuals step out of survival mode. 


Therapy aids in better understanding your symptoms and developing a healthier relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and body. My approach is warm, collaborative, educational, and grounded in evidence. Together, we'll work on reducing fear, increasing psychological flexibility, processing difficult emotions, retraining overprotective brain and nervous system patterns, and creating new experiences of safety that support meaningful symptom reduction, improved functioning, and lasting recovery. 


Your symptoms are real, and your nervous system is striving to protect you. With the right support through therapy, healing and recovery are not only possible but achievable.

Chronic pain is often influenced by complex neurological, emotional, and physical factors. Our holistic, neuroscience-informed approach supports nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and whole-person healing through mindfulness and innovative therapies.

Evidence-Based Therapy for Chronic Pain, Anxiety, OCD & Trauma Informed Care


I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, and stress-related conditions. Treatment is personalized to your unique needs and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and polyvagal- and somatic-informed practices.


Together, we'll reduce fear and avoidance, build resilience, and help you reconnect with the activities and life that matter most.

Supporting Your Healing Journey

Transform Your Pain Experience

✔ Understand and respond to your symptoms differently by learning the mind-body connection and how the brain and nervous system influence chronic pain and other symptoms.  


✔ Reduce fear and nervous system overprotection using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), nervous system education, and corrective experiences that help turn down danger signals.  


✔ Decrease avoidance and safety behaviors that may inadvertently keep the alarm system switched on through gentle, values-based exposure and behavioral experiments.  


✔ Process emotions and life stressors that may contribute to symptom amplification using Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) and evidence-based emotional processing approaches.  


✔ Build trust in your mind, body, and nervous system's ability to adapt and heal through somatic awareness, self-compassion, and new experiences of safety.  


✔ Increase flexibility, resilience, and tolerance of discomfort and uncertainty while learning to respond differently to thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.  


✔ Reconnect with meaningful activities, relationships, and the parts of life that matter most to you, allowing you to spend less time managing chronic pain and more time living your life.  


✔ Feel more confident, present, and free, with greater engagement in life and meaningful symptom reduction.  


Because healing isn't about convincing yourself that your symptoms aren't real—it's about helping your nervous system learn that you are safer than it previously believed.  


I accept many insurance plans in addition to self-pay options because you should not have to choose between receiving specialized treatment and affordability. I provide both online and in-person sessions.
