Navigating Life with Chronic Illness: A Holistic Approach to Mental Wellness

Living with a chronic illness can feel like navigating an uncharted path. The physical challenges are evident, but the emotional and mental toll is often hidden beneath the surface. At Everyday Counts Therapy Services in Yuba City, CA, we understand how deeply chronic illness can impact mental health. That’s why we offer personalized therapy services designed to help you reclaim joy and balance in your life.

Understanding the Connection Between Chronic Illness and Mental Health

Chronic illness doesn’t just affect the body—it weaves into the fabric of your daily life, influencing your emotions, relationships, and overall outlook. Conditions like fibromyalgia, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases often bring feelings of isolation, anxiety, or depression. But here’s the truth: chronic illness doesn’t define you.
At our practice, we take a holistic approach, recognizing the mind-body connection. By addressing your physical symptoms alongside your emotional needs, we aim to empower you to face life’s challenges with resilience and strength.

Therapy Tailored for You

Each person’s journey is unique, and your therapy should reflect that. Whether you’re looking for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to reshape negative thought patterns or EMDR therapy to process trauma linked to your diagnosis, our services are tailored to your needs.

Our licensed therapists specialize in supporting individuals facing:

  • Depression brought on by chronic illness
  • Anxiety about medical procedures or the future
  • Trauma from living with unpredictable symptoms
  • Dissociation as a coping mechanism

The Importance of Self-Compassion

Living with a chronic illness often means juggling doctor’s appointments, medications, and flare-ups. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even blame yourself for things beyond your control. That’s where self-compassion comes in.
Therapy helps you cultivate kindness toward yourself, recognizing your efforts and progress rather than focusing on perceived shortcomings. With support, you can build tools to manage stress, set boundaries, and maintain healthier relationships.

Holistic Therapies for Chronic Illness

While traditional therapies like CBT are essential, many individuals benefit from a holistic approach that incorporates:

  • Mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve focus
  • Guided relaxation exercises to ease tension and promote better sleep
  • Gentle movement therapies, such as yoga, to improve physical and mental well-being
These methods, combined with evidence-based practices, offer a well-rounded path to healing.

You’re Not Alone

Chronic illness can sometimes feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Everyday Counts Therapy Services, we’re here to walk alongside you on this journey. Our mission is to provide compassionate, affordable counseling services that help you find peace, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
If you’re ready to take the first step, contact us today. Together, we’ll work toward a brighter, healthier future—because every day truly does count.

On Being a Therapist Part 2 – How do you do it?

People ask me, “How do you do what you do?” They say, “I couldn’t sit with people all day long and listen to their stories, worries and woes. How do you not bring it home with you? I just don’t know how you do it?” For me it’s kind of like being an oceanic surfer. Surfing is all about balance, flexibility, finding your sweet spot and knowing the terrain.
