Psychotherapy for chronic illness
Living with a chronic illness can feel exhausting—physically, emotionally, and mentally.
The day-to-day challenges often extend far beyond medical symptoms. Many people face:
Emotional distress – sadness, anxiety, or frustration about how life has changed.
Uncertainty about the future – fears about flare-ups, test results, or long-term impact.
Loss of identity – struggling with who you are beyond your diagnosis.
Strained relationships – feeling isolated, misunderstood, or distant from loved ones.
Daily fatigue – not just in your body, but in your heart and mind too.
If this resonates with you, please know: you are not alone.
Therapy offers a safe space to process these challenges and find ways to live a meaningful life—even with the ups and downs of illness.
Why Psychotherapy Helps
Support from a therapist who can help you navigate the unique realities of long-term health conditions can help you:
Manage stress, anxiety, and depression related to illness.
Adjust to lifestyle changes and limitations.
Rebuild self-confidence and identity beyond your diagnosis.
Improve communication with family, friends, and care teams.
Cultivate resilience and coping strategies for flare-ups or setbacks.
Going to therapy to help manage your chronic illness isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about honoring your experiences, easing the emotional load, and helping you reconnect with hope and purpose.
