Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) in NY, CT & FL

Your pain is real. The source may not be where you've been looking. PRT is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain unlearn chronic pain — one signal at a time.

66% of patients with chronic back pain were pain-free or nearly pain-free one year after PRT

— Boulder Back Pain Study, 2021

You might be here because…

You've done the imaging. Done the PT. Seen a specialist or two. The scans come back clean — or the diagnoses don't quite fit — and still the pain persists. You've started wondering if it's "in your head," and you've been told it isn't, but also you can't shake the feeling something else is going on. That feeling is worth taking seriously.

Signs PRT may be right for you

  • Chronic pain that started without a clear injury, or long outlasted one.

  • Pain that shifts location, intensity, or triggers unpredictably.

  • Scans are clean, or findings don't match the pain level.

  • Pain flares with stress, emotion, or anticipation — not just activity.

  • You've tried the standard path: PT, meds, injections, possibly surgery.

  • You're exhausted from being told "we can't find anything."

 

If three or more feel familiar, PRT may be a fit.

If any of this sounds like your week, book a free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no paperwork.

What pain reprocessing therapy is

PRT is an evidence-based approach built on a specific understanding: in many chronic pain cases, the brain has learned to generate pain even without ongoing tissue damage. This is neuroplastic pain. PRT teaches the brain to unlearn it.

Myth vs. reality

Myth: If PRT works, the pain must have been in my head.

Reality: The pain is real. The source is in the brain's signaling, which is a treatable biological target.

Myth: I need to stop PT and meds to try this.

Reality: No — we coordinate with your medical team.

Where it comes from

PRT is most powerful for chronic back, neck, and pelvic pain without a clear structural cause; migraines and tension headaches; fibromyalgia-type presentations; long COVID symptoms; and "undiagnosed" chronic pain. If chronic illness is part of your picture, we often blend PRT with EMDR and IFS.

Meet your therapist

  • Pain Reprocessing Therapy — somatic tracking, fear reduction, building felt safety.

  • EMDR — when pain has trauma roots (common).

  • IFS — for the parts of you that have adapted around the pain.

 

We blend modalities because complex pain rarely has a single cause.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pain Reprocessing Therapy

Is PRT "all in my head"?

No — the pain is real. The source is in the brain's signaling, which is a biological, treatable target. PRT treats the signal, not the story.

Will PRT work for me?

PRT works best when: your pain patterns are inconsistent, imaging is clean (or findings don't match the pain level), and symptoms flare with stress or emotion. We screen for fit in your first session — you won't invest time in something that isn't right for you.

What does a typical course of therapy look like?

Do I have to stop PT or medications?

  • First session: History and screening for PRT fit.

  • First month: Neuroplastic education + somatic tracking practice.

  • 3+ months: Pain reduction and restored capacity for activity and life.

 

Many clients notice shifts within 6–12 weeks; a full course is often 3–6 months.

No — we coordinate with your medical team. PRT works alongside other care. We're out-of-network; superbills provided.
