Living with chronic pain, persistent symptoms, anxiety, OCD, or health-related struggles can feel like having a full-time job you never applied for.
And chronic pain rarely travels alone.
Persistent symptoms often arrive with anxiety, fear, obsessive thinking, health worries, stress, depression, perfectionism, and nervous system exhaustion.
That is where specialized therapy matters.
Therapy offers an opportunity to step out of survival mode and develop a new relationship with your thoughts, emotions, symptoms, and nervous system. Souza Therapy and Wellness focuses on treating crhonic pain and symptoms from a nervous system lens
My approach is warm, collaborative, educational, and evidence based. Together, we work to reduce fear, increase flexibility, process difficult emotions, retrain overprotective nervous system patterns, and create experiences of safety that support meaningful healing and recovery.
✔ Understand and respond to your symptoms differently by learning the mind-body connection and how the brain and nervous system influence pain and 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 capacity 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, spending less time managing symptoms 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 being able to afford it. I provide online and in person sessions.
