Chronic illness and pain may have impacted your life’s journey, but there is hope to continue moving forward.
Psychotherapy for chronic illness, pain, caregiver support, and more—in person in Tempe, and virtually across Arizona
The losses, the limitations, the what-ifs—on top of the exhausting task of navigating the healthcare system.
Or maybe it’s the feelings of falling short as a caregiver while trying to keep up with everything else in your life.
Specialized psychotherapy—with someone who truly gets it—can help you feel seen, understood, and less alone.
It’s about creating effective coping strategies, improving your quality of life, and truly feeling hopeful that things can get better.
Through evidence-informed approaches, like somatic interventions, mindfulness-based CBT, and compassion and parts work, we will work together toward overall improvement in your physical and mental health.
I'm grateful to lean on both my lived experience and 17+ years of professional experience as I walk alongside you in your healing.

Why spend another moment…

→ Grieving the way things used to be.
→ Feeling overwhelmed with the weight of caring for your loved one and the desire to do well by them.

Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Angela Salomon PsyD, LAC.
My own story of being the primary caregiver for family members with cancer and dementia, and later facing my own chronic illness, has shaped not only my path—but my heart for others experiencing similar events. This work isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly understand.
Supporting individuals and families living with or caregiving for a member with chronic illness is personal, meaningful, and held with deep compassion.
My hope is to walk alongside you—to support you in navigating the overwhelm, and make room for hope and strength in the midst of it all. You don’t have to carry this alone, I see you.
