You're Not Alone

Life’s challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with. Most people who start Therapy for Chronic Pain feel lost in life on some level, unsure of how to find their way. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you feel like you want to escape your life or you’re noticing that you complain a lot about feeling stressed, tired, and unfulfilled.

If you live with chronic pain like I do, you know it affects your sleep, your energy, your attention span, and your mood. I also know how difficult it can be to try to explain what chronic pain is like to someone who has never experienced it.

Live Life As Who You Really Are

I know how hard and overwhelming chronic pain can be, and how frustrating it can be to navigate our healthcare system. I will listen to you without judgment, and I will be on your side as you learn to accept your body and change your habits and patterns. My passion is to see adults create and recreate healthy relationships with their bodies instead of fighting against them, and learning new ways to live with meaning in the world.

I’ve helped people struggling with chronic pain find their way to feeling more capable. My clients discover that it’s possible to get the spark back and fall in love with life again.

My name is Peter H Addy and I am a therapist with chronic pain who is here to help. I developed fibromyalgia syndrome in my late 20s and know from personal experience both the agony and isolation of living with chronic pain and tools and approaches to learn how to live more fully.
