Pain Psychology in Illinois
Virtual Therapy for Chronic Pain, Stress, and fatigue in chicago, the Suburbs, and beyond
Whether you're navigating life in the bustling streets of Chicago or tucked away in a quieter pocket of Illinois, pain can have a way of isolating you from the world around you. You may be juggling multiple doctors, trying new medications, or even questioning your own experience because nothing seems to "work" the way you hoped.
Living with chronic pain can feel like a full-time job—especially when relief is hard to find.
If you're tired of feeling dismissed or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. As a pain psychologist, I specialize in helping people with complex health conditions learn science-backed, practical strategies to ease their symptoms and reconnect with what matters most—no matter where they are on their healing path.
And the best part? You can get started from the comfort of your home, with flexible telehealth options that meet you right where you are.
What I Treat
Pain is rarely just physical—and the emotional toll can be just as heavy. I support clients living with:
Chronic pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, migraine, back pain, neuropathy)
Post-surgical recovery and ongoing fatigue
Autoimmune and inflammatory illnesses
Trauma and stress-related health concerns
Depression, anxiety, grief, and medical burnout
Don’t see your concern listed here? That’s okay—there’s still a very good chance I can help. During your free 15-minute consultation, we’ll talk through your unique situation. You tell me about your experiences and challenges, and I’ll be honest about whether I can help. It’s a no-pressure conversation that helps you decide what’s right for you.
whether you’re in the heart of chicago or a quiet corner of the state, you deserve care that truly sees you—even beyond your pain.
How Telehealth Works
You don’t have to commute across the city or spend hours waiting in a clinic to receive thoughtful, personalized care. My telehealth therapy services are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and built around your comfort and convenience. All you need is a private space and an internet connection.
Whether you’re in Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, Rockford, or somewhere quieter and off the grid—I’m licensed to support you statewide.

Why I Care about Pain Psychology in Illinois
Hi, I’m Anahita.
I’m a pain psychologist offering compassionate, integrative care to help adults in Illinois navigate chronic pain with greater ease.
Illinois holds a special place in my heart. As a kid, Chicago was the first place I dreamed of living—and the first place I flew to solo (with an airline escort, of course). Over the years, I visited often for personal reasons, and those connections deepened my appreciation for the people and the place ( :: and the pizza 🍕 :: ) Honestly, Chicago was my first home-away-from-home.
Later, as a clinical psychologist serving Veterans across the Midwest, I met so many people in Illinois—especially in underserved or rural areas—who were living with complex, chronic pain and didn’t have access to pain-informed mental health care…
The kind of care that acknowledges your experience, your body, and your story.
That’s why I offer telehealth therapy for people living with pain and overlapping concerns like trauma, grief, or fatigue. Whether you’re a lifelong Midwesterner or have found your way to Illinois more recently, you deserve care that’s grounded in science and compassion. I’d be honored to help you find relief that lasts.
Let’s get you on the path to relief, resilience, and reconnection.
