Health Psychology at Thrive Counseling and Psychology

Mind and Body, Connected

At Thrive, we understand that your mental health and physical health are deeply connected. Chronic pain, insomnia, and other health challenges aren’t just medical—they’re also shaped by stress, emotions, and thought patterns.

Working with a health psychologist means addressing the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

Personalized, Evidence-Based Care

We begin with a comprehensive psychological assessment in order to design a science-backed treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. These evaluations help us uncover the emotional and behavioral factors that may be impacting your health.

When appropriate, the results and recommendations can be shared—with your permission—with your medical provider. This supports coordinated, integrated care and ensures your full care team is working from the same page.

Tracking What Matters

We use research-based tools to monitor progress throughout treatment. From pain levels to sleep quality, emotional distress, and daily functioning, these simple check-ins help us personalize your care and keep your health goals front and center.

Our Health Psychology Services Include:

Chronic Pain Management:

We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to help clients understand their pain, reduce distress, and increase functioning.

Sleep Issues & Insomnia:

CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold standard for improving sleep. We also support clients with CPAP adherence and chronic nightmares.

Headaches & Migraines:

We apply CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to reduce headache-related distress and promote effective coping strategies.

Tinnitus:

Using CBT and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, we help individuals manage the emotional and psychological impact of tinnitus and improve daily life.

Health Behavior Change:

We support clients in making meaningful lifestyle changes—such as adopting healthier eating habits—by addressing motivation, habits, and psychological barriers.

Coping with Chronic Illness:

Living with a chronic health condition can be overwhelming. We help individuals build resilience, manage stress, and enhance daily functioning.

Psychological Assessments for Medical Procedures:

We provide evaluations for individuals preparing for bariatric surgery, organ transplants, and spinal cord stimulator implantation—ensuring psychological readiness and ongoing support before and after the procedure.
