Riverside, CA 92507
As a Christian therapist, the well-being of you and your family is very important to me. Over the past 35+ years of counseling I have seen a variety of conditions that harm individuals and their relationships. Though these issues can be painful and complex, there are basic underlying principles, that when properly grasped, unleash healing that lasts a lifetime. This kind of healing does not begin with psychological tools and techniques, but with changes in the heart that only God can create. For this reason, letting go of unforgiveness, fear and pride is essential to healing that lasts.

Myrna Echols
Psychologist, LCP
Verified Verified
Riverside, CA 92507
Hello, I am Myrna V. Echols, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist in California since 1981. Over many years of practice, I have used many theories and tools. In the 1980's I called myself a transpersonal psychotherapist, meaning that my perspective included wisdom from all of the world's spiritual traditions. Currently, my tools come most from Transformational Neurolinguistic Programming, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The foundation of my approach is deep respect for who you are now, for where you want to be, and for the past that has brought you to this moment, no matter how dark it may 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.
