Dr. Gurvitz can help you reach your goal of coping more effectively with your medical problems. She understands how the pain cycle contributes to unnecessary suffering. Pain leads to anxiety which contributes to depression and fatigue and leads to more pain.

To meet this challenge, Dr. Gurvitz uses several methods and approaches. For example, our relaxation therapies teach you to relax your muscles, calm the mind and lessen tension. Learning activity pacing will help you to lead a more active lifestyle. To cope with depression and stress, Dr. Gurvitz employs cognitive behavioral techniques that replace negative thoughts with a hopeful perspective.

Dr. Gurvitz understands that no two of our Clearwater, Largo or Seminole clients are the same. Chronic illness and pain affects every person differently. Individual and family therapy can help you manage the profound changes in your lifestyle and relationships resulting from your illness or injury.

Chronic pain and illness are difficult to deal with. Dr. Gurvitz can help you cope with it and realize a better and more contented life.
