Having an invisible illness doesn’t mean you have to feel invisible.
Destiny Winters-Davis, LPC, NCC, CRC
Licensed Professional Counselor (mental health therapist), wife, mom - but most of all, human. As someone with personal experience living with chronic pain and illness, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re trying everything, doing everything right, and seemingly getting nowhere.
If you’ve ever been told “your labs are completely normal” or “there’s nothing wrong with you” but you’re in constant pain and discomfort, you’ve come to the right place.
My main work is with those who experience hard-to-diagnose health issues and syndromes. Things like gastrointestinal problems, arthritic pain, back pain and other bodily aches, and genetic disorders are all within my wheelhouse. We work on things like coping with pain, increasing energy, managing stress, building healthier relationships (with romantic partners, friends, and healthcare professionals), and healing childhood emotional wounds.
How I show up with clients stems not only from my lived experience but also from my decade of training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in Year 1 of Somatic Experiencing, which means that I believe trauma lives in the body - not in your thoughts.
There is a strong connection between chronic illness / chronic pain and the following emotional struggles:
Perfectionism
Procrastination / lack of motivation
Childhood emotional neglect
Finding it hard to relate to others
Feeling alone/isolated, even within your romantic relationship
Lack of meaning/purpose in life
