I’m Jillian Caldwell, LCSW, founder of Sacred Path Counseling, offering trauma-informed therapy in Arizona. My ideal client is an adult who feels worn down by trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, or long-standing attachment wounds.

If you are experiencing physical pain we will use the NeuroPain Protocol during your session.
Anxiety has caused you to experience exhaustion and isolation. You constantly have doubts and worries floating around in your thoughts. It feels like your mind won’t stop thinking about everything at once. You doubt yourself because every little decision feels monumentally consequential. Normal tasks that used to bring you joy no longer do, even your hobbies have fallen by the wayside. Friends try reaching out to you, but you end up withdrawing further away from them. You wish there were a way to go back to when you were happy and sure of yourself, but there seems to be this massive gap that just can't be bridged.

Begin to feel your feelings, transforming them from pain to wisdom.
You are a current or former dancer, gymnast or athlete. You have undergone intense training and competition. Now, you feel stuck. You feel high demands, yet you are afraid of your power. You want to be successful. You notice that you fear failure. You may even fear success. Performance anxiety and overwhelm have gotten the best of you lately. Bullying/distrust with peers or coaches may be something you feel bogged down by. Because you’re a high achiever, you need extra love and support and wish to feel confident. However, relationships both in and outside of your craft feel unsubstantial.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with certifications in trauma & Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), I incorporate various evidence-based techniques to help you come to your own solutions.
When your body is thrown a curveball due to a major medical condition, it’s normal to feel alone, anxious, and depressed. Similarly, if you’re in a role that’s focused on serving others - whether in your personal life, professional life, or both - often your own needs get pushed aside. This leads to burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. By engaging in services at Sandstone Counseling, you can reclaim control over the trajectory of your life. Through evidence-based techniques, you'll learn additional coping skills, adjust to major life stressors, and reinvent yourself to become the person you want to be.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
