Conditions We Address

If you have been living with chronic pain, you already know that it affects far more than any scan or test can capture. The most devastating effects can be central sensitization of the nervous system, hypersensitivity, debilitating fatigue, isolation and loneliness, sleep issues, and relationship erosion. Stress makes all of these worse, which makes the pain worse and creates more stress. This becomes a cycle that is exhausting and often invisible to the people around you.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we help you understand what is actually happening in your brain and body with conditions like Fibromyalgia, low back or neck pain, Migraines, Arthritis, Neuropathic Pain, Cancer Pain, Endometriosis, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and others. We give you practical, daily tools to begin interrupting that cycle so that you can start to feel like yourself again.

Receiving an FND diagnosis can feel rejecting, like being told your symptoms are not real — and nothing could be further from the truth! It is a genuine condition in which the brain’s communication system becomes disrupted, producing very real, often disabling symptoms. The good news is that the brain is remarkably capable of change, and psychological interventions are among the most effective tools available.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we start by making sure you truly understand your diagnosis, because that alone can be transformative. We work together to build strategies that can help calm your nervous system and reduce the frequency and intensity of your symptoms.

If you have been diagnosed with PNES (sometimes referred to as functional seizures, dissociative seizures, conversion disorder, or pseudo-seizures), you have likely spent years feeling confused, dismissed, and frightened, and you may still have more questions than answers. PNES episodes are real. They are not fake and are not a sign that you are “crazy.” They are one way your nervous system responds to stress and overwhelm that it has not yet found another way to express.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we help you understand what is driving your episodes, recognize the warning signs that one may be coming, and practice different strategies at specific times. Our goal is to give you back a sense of control over your own body.

When you cannot sleep, everything else becomes more difficult  — pain is worse, anxiety is louder, and days feel impossible to get through. Chronic insomnia is often not just a sleep problem. Many factors, including a nervous system stuck in a state of high alert, may contribute to a pattern of poor sleep.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we help you understand why your brain and body are struggling to find that “off” switch. We work with you to build daily habits and in-the-moment strategies that gradually teach your nervous system that it is safe to rest, reset your Circadian Rhythms, and ensure adequate sleep drive is built throughout the day.

If you have experienced a vasovagal episode — the sudden dizziness, the narrowing vision, the feeling that you are about to pass out — you know how frightening it can be. If it has happened more than once, you may find yourself constantly bracing for the next episode, which ironically makes your nervous system even more reactive.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we help you understand why your nervous system responds the way it does, reduce the anxiety that lowers your threshold for these events, and provide practical strategies for use in the moments before and during an episode. Our goal is to help you move through life with considerably less fear and anxiety, more resilience, and greater involvement in the activities you love.

The connection between your gut and your brain is one of the most powerful relationships in your entire body — which means that stress does not just live in your head, it lives in your stomach and affects your entire body. If you are dealing with IBS, IBD (including Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis), Peptic Ulcer Disease, GERD, chronic nausea, or digestive symptoms that seem to have a mind of their own, you are not imagining the connection to stress and anxiety.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we help you understand why your gut responds the way it does. We work alongside your medical care provider to give you nervous-system-regulation tools that can meaningfully reduce the frequency and severity of your symptoms.

When your body is fighting a chronic illness, your nervous system is fighting right alongside it — and that constant state of stress takes a real toll on your cognitive and emotional health. Anxiety, depression, and a profound sense of loss are not signs of weakness. They are normal responses to an abnormal situation.

At Brain Integration Therapies, we work with you to understand the connection between your illness, stress response, and overall well-being. We build a personalized plan that gives you real tools to help your body and brain fight alongside your medical team. We understand that you do not want to lose another day of your life, and we are here to help.
