Meet Dr. Naomi Edelson
Compassionate. Evidence-Based. Results Driven.
If you’re here, something important brought you. Reaching out is the first step toward feeling better.
I’m a licensed psychologist with 15 years of experience helping people with chronic pain, OCD, anxiety, health anxiety, and pelvic pain. I also work with conditions that are often misunderstood, such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, and IBS.
My approach is warm and practical. I use proven therapies (CBT, ACT, Exposure & Response Prevention, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy) to help you reduce symptoms, build resilience, and get back to your life.
