About Me

 

I’m Nyle Biondi, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years of experience. Chronic pain has been and continues to be my guide to the deepest healing work I have done. Doing this work has not only taught me how to rewire my neuralpathways to stop sending out pain signals, it has also helped me to heal from my deepest wounds. I will guide you through practices that will help you heal from chronic pain and become your most authentic self. It’s hard work and it’s worth it.

In 2007, I finished my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Edgewood College in Madison, WI. I spent the better part of 15 years proudly serving transgender and other LGBTQIA identities. In 2019, after years of struggling with my own chronic pain conditions, I was introduced to the work of Nicole Sachs through her podcast The Cure For Chronic Pain. Within a week, I knew that her methods, as well as other mind/body techniques, were what I needed to heal the pain that had begun to make my life smaller and smaller.

I have advanced trainings in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and attachment work. Most recently, I find myself using primarily the methods and techniques involved in healing chronic pain to help clients of all kinds learn how to heal themselves.

 

Why I’m passionate about this work:

Before learning to heal my own chronic pain, I lived a very functional, productive, and satisfactory life. I was successful in my career, had meaningful connections and relationships, and by all external measures, I was doing really well. However, underneath it all, I often felt stressed and disconnected from myself, and I didn’t have a clear sense of what I could do to shift that.

In 2019, after dealing with over 3 years of non-stop chronic pain, I discovered the work of Nicole Sachs LCSW. I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a shot. Nicole’s work centers on feeling and releasing repressed emotions, which was something I was open to as a therapist, but did not fully believe would get to the root of my pain condition. Within the first week of doing the work, I not only experienced relief from pain, I also began to realize how much the pain and repressed emotions had been impacting my mental state. As a younger person, I had considered myself very laid-back and easy going. By 2019, neither of those labels were ones I could accurately attribute to myself anymore. I had become more rigid, sometimes critical, and more fearful than I had remembered myself being previously. In hindsight, I know that those are all typical responses to a chronically stressed nervous system.

Since 2019, my world has become much more vibrant and bright. I experience more joy and connection. I am laid back and easy to be around again. And, when things take me off-center, I now have the tools to address and cope with them right in the moment. I am calmer and more confident and all around just enjoy life more. I want to teach you how to heal too.
