Counseling for Athletic Injuries and Chronic Pain

Have you suffered through athletic Injuries, multiple surgeries, loss of quality of life that you are used to having, and debilitating pain? Compass counselors can assist you in managing all this loss, stress, pain, and trauma.

Physical injury and pain is often accompanied by emotional fear, vulnerability, and grief for what you’ve had to give up. It requires patience, hope, and trust to continue your long, difficult rehabilitation process. When physical healing becomes a longer and harder process than you’re initially told, the emotional/psychological component becomes even harder.

With any physical ailment, adding psychological counseling can often speed up your physical healing, as well as help reduce the secondary issues that can arise (financial stress, family stress, loss of identity in regards to physical strength and ability, and body confidence issues). Clients often find it helpful to just “have someone” to talk to about these medical traumas- because often the world around them does not understand how deeply it affects every part of their life.
