Counseling / Therapy

One thing I know, the daily grind of neuropathy can take a heavy toll. The mental toll can be just as heavy as the physical symptoms.  My entire day is spent managing pain; for me this leads to isolation, anger, and fear. 

I have found that therapy is a wildly missed topic in most neuropathy discussions. Talking to a counselor or mental health professional isn't about fixing your feet; it’s about having someone by your side to help manage the stress and psychological pain. A therapist can give you an outlet to vent and work on issues that deal with the stress. I have experienced huge gains by working with a therapist and using techniques I learned to manage the stress and anxiety. A large part of this process is about changing your perspective so the pain doesn't define your entire life. The stress and anxiety reduction calms the central nervous system and reduces the perception of chronic pain.

Typical Cost: $40 to $80 per session cash pay
