Build confidence, resilience, and behavioral change with
Mental health coaching
For people with EDS and other chronic illness
Because chronic conditions don’t just affect your body
Learn to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally
Did you know people with chronic pain are 79% more likely to suffer from a mental health condition?
If you suffer from anxiety or depression and Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome, you’re in good company. Many people with EDS and other chronic conditions live in a constant cycle of pain and fear.
But you don’t have to.
You can build confidence in your body, mind, and spirit. You can build resilience to bad days that threaten your mental health. And you can build behavioral change through practical, sustainable habits that help you feel at peace, despite the physical pain.
It’s all possible through mental health coaching at Connective Wellness.
Why mental health coaching for EDS patients?
And how is it different from traditional counseling?
Traditional counseling is great for diagnosing and treating mental health disorders.
Mental health coaching is great for creating and following a plan to combat them.
Our mental health coach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends clinical expertise with coaching momentum. With a background in assessment, trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention, she helps you create the routines and skills you need to grow — and she keeps you accountable to keep growing.
She isn’t just your counselor. She’s your coach, training and cheering you on toward long-term success.
100% virtual care
Stay in your sweatpants. Your mental health coaching is done completely online, so you don’t have to worry about travel, exposure, energy drain, or symptom flare-ups.
