For those who experience chronic pain and illness, it is often clear that the world is not set up for, or designed to accommodate, folks with chronic conditions and disabilities. Molly has worked with clients with chronic illness and pain individually for a number of years. She has seen firsthand the incredible resilience of this population, while also witnessing the isolation, challenges, and even hopelessness of their lives. Molly and her clients have seen excellent results in treating chronic pain and illness using a variety of therapeutic practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
