The Other Half of the Story

Chronic pain is pain that persists for months — long after an injury has healed, or without a clear cause at all. Living with it often leads to depression, and depression can make pain feel more intense and harder to manage.

Treating one without the other rarely produces lasting relief — which is why we treat both sides of that cycle together.

 

Whether your pain is new or years old, there is more that can be done.

How We Treat Chronic Pain

Your plan starts with your whole story — the pain, the mood, and everything they touch.

Your treatments may include:

Deep TMS

 

Deep TMS can directly ease pain by targeting the brain's pain-dampening circuits, alongside its established role in treating depression.

Psychotherapy

Evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping you manage both the emotional and physical experience of chronic pain.

Medication Management


Physician-led, coordinated with any other treatment you are receiving.

Who We Help

  • Adults whose chronic pain is accompanied by depression or low mood
  • People whose pain has not improved with medical treatment alone
  • Anyone already working with a doctor or pain specialist — we coordinate with your existing care
  • Anyone who wants a physician-led, whole-person approach
