Innerworks Wellness
About
Our practice focuses on addressing trauma, occupational stress, chronic health conditions and anxiety. Over the years, we have become increasingly interested in the resilience of the nervous system, people’s innate capacity to heal and ways to come back into vitality. We employ a wide range of therapeutic techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR), somatic experiencing (SE), mindfulness, acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT) and insight-oriented approaches. We have therapists on our team licensed in Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia and New York.
EDS Healthcare in New York
The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center operates in Old Westbury and Central Islip, offering specialized rehabilitation and treatment. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside focuses on EDS with Chiari malformation. Weill Cornell provides pain management expertise. New York Medicaid covers genetic testing with prior authorization. Wait times at major programs can be 6 months or longer.
Both EDS Centers of Excellence are on Long Island, leaving upstate New York significantly underserved. Patients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Adirondacks face drives of 4-6+ hours to reach these programs. Wait times of 6 months or more are common. Rural upstate access is very limited, and telehealth is important for follow-up care.
Finding Mental Health for EDS
Look for a therapist who has worked with chronic illness patients and understands that EDS-related anxiety and depression often have physical triggers, not just psychological ones.
