Chronic Illness Therapists in Tucson, AZ
I have a Masters' degree in Psychology from the University of Houston in Clear Lake yet my experience working with people needing and wanting behavioral changes is greater than my education. My goal as a hypnotherapist is to guide you on a therapeutic path to healing and reaching your potential and health goals. My hypnotherapy sessions are eclectic in that I use various techniques appropriate to what you want to achieve and to ensure a positive outcome. I create unique scripts that address particular issues and help you succeed in what you want to achieve in life.

I believe that healing is a process that takes time, patience, and self-compassion. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, grief, or relationship issues, my approach is to meet you where you are and help you rise to where you want to be. We all have the capacity for growth, and sometimes, we just need the right support to discover it.

Crises and life transitions tend to spotlight where we need to grow. I have two typical clients. One is interested in ongoing psychotherapy and has often (though not necessarily) been in therapy before. The other is looking for shorter-term work to sort through a decision or transition. Depression, anxiety, "stuckness" or "emptiness" often inspire people to call. I work with adults of all backgrounds, but have niche experience with many chronic illnesses, including long COVID, MCAS, EDS and cancer; neurodiversity-affirming work with autism & ADHD; older adults & aging; and healthcare & mental health professionals.

As a social worker, my focus is on the "big picture" — including environment, past experiences, and future expectations. I assist clients in coping with life transitions, managing anxiety, depression, attention deficit, sleeplessness, chronic health conditions, caregiver role strain, or accommodating a traumatic loss. Together, we can help you find more fulfilling work and relationships.
I am licensed and provide tele-visits to anyone in Arizona and Oregon. I sometimes offer in-person appointments if desired.

Feeling at Peace in your body is your birthright. The bumps, tumbles and bruises of Life create wounds which can turn into emotionally and physically painful patterns of fear and self-protection. Over time, we lose our sense of self and safety, of our worth, purpose, direction and meaning. We can find ourselves questioning in which direction to turn, which Path to follow. What do we even need or want? The good news is this…It’s time to come home. To You, to your Self, to your Life, to feel safe, sacred and whole…Mind-Body and Spirit. Letting go. Moment by moment. Let's do this!

You’re tired of trying so hard and feeling like you just keep failing. You want to be a good wife, mom, and Christian. Yet, you constantly feel overwhelmed and are struggling to find the joy and peace it seems like you should have as a Christian. Instead, you’re finding yourself yelling at your family, melting down, and crying yourself to sleep. Sometimes it seems like you can’t stop crying. You often feel on edge and this feeling is becoming intolerable. You’ve been told you just need to pray and trust God more. You do pray and read the Bible and don’t understand why you still feel so sad and anxious.

My practice is likely a good fit for you if: you're a person with a disability/neurodivergent, a BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, are an otherwise marginalized person with intersecting identities, and/or are interested in an approach to therapy that is abolition-oriented and critical of systems that perpetuate harm.

Hello, I'm Nancy Myers, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in the State of Arizona. I work with several presenting issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, job stress, and relationship issues. There's nothing more rewarding in my opinion, than working in a space with someone who is healing, growing, changing, and focusing on their mental health and emotional well being. I have worked in the mental health space for years in Executive roles while maintaining a small private practice at times and have discovered that providing therapy to clients is what I truly enjoy and find most rewarding.

Living gets hard. Relationships stretch us. Patterns that once protected us start to get in the way. I offer a warm, thoughtful space to explore how earlier experiences (e.g. family roles, childhood dynamics, social pressures, and past relationships) have shaped who you are now. Together we can re-examine roles like the perfectionist, caretaker, mediator, peacekeeper, or “strong one” to make sense of how they have both helped and hindered you. Through our work, we will help you understand your inner experience, strengthen emotional resilience, and show up more authentically in the relationships that matter.

I’m licensed in both Arizona and Illinois, and credentialed through PSYPACT, which allows me to see clients across 42 states nationwide.

How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
