Integrative Chronic Pain & Mind-Body Therapist

I help people recover from chronic pain and persistent symptoms by working with the nervous system.

 

I’m Nyle Biondi, a licensed therapist with nearly 20 years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adults heal from chronic pain, persistent symptoms, and nervous system patterns rooted in stress and trauma.

My path to this work is both professional and deeply personal.

For years, I struggled with my own chronic pain. I was high-functioning on the outside. but internally, my system was stuck in chronic stress and tension that I didn’t fully recognize.

As I began exploring mind-body and neuroscience-informed approaches, my pain decreased until it dissipated completely.

I learned how the brain can generate pain as a protective response, and more importantly, how those pathways can be retrained.

My symptoms changed.
But even more importantly, my relationship to myself changed.

Healing wasn’t just about reducing pain.
It was about becoming more regulated, more authentic, and more fully alive.

Today, I bring both clinical training and lived experience into my work with clients.

Professional Background

My clinical training is grounded in both traditional psychotherapy and neuroscience-informed approaches.

I earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin, and have spent nearly two decades working with individuals navigating trauma, chronic stress, and systemic oppression.

For many years, I worked extensively with transgender and LGBTQIA+ individuals, supporting clients through identity development, trauma, and minority stress. That work deeply shaped my understanding of how chronic stress becomes embedded in the nervous system.

I have advanced training in:

  • Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Attachment-focused approaches (DARe – Level 1 and Integrative Attachment Theory)

My work integrates these modalities into a cohesive, nervous system–focused approach tailored to each individual.

 

Why I’m passionate about this work:

Before healing my own chronic pain, I was capable and functioning, but internally braced.

Beneath the surface, I carried chronic stress and emotional suppression that I didn’t fully recognize.

When I began addressing those deeper patterns, I experienced not only relief from pain, but a shift in how I moved through the world.

I became:

  • more regulated

  • more present

  • more confident

  • more at ease in my body

  • more able to experience joy

That transformation is what fuels my commitment to this work.

I know how disorienting and discouraging chronic symptoms can feel.
And I know how powerful it is when the nervous system finally learns safety.


My Approach

I believe healing happens through safe, healthy connection.

I believe your sensitivity is not a weakness, it’s part of how your system learned to adapt.

I believe the body makes sense in the context of your lived experience.

I believe self-compassion is essential.

I believe humor, curiosity, and moments of ease matter.

And I believe that when the nervous system feels safe, change happens naturally.

Outside the Therapy Room

I find joy in animals, nature, humor, and the ongoing adventures of parenting, which is one of the most challenging and meaningful roles I hold.

If you’re ready to move beyond coping and begin addressing the root patterns driving your symptoms, I would be honored to support you.

You don’t have to do this alone.
