Dear Listserv members:
I would like to also join the others in introducing myself. I have been a
member of MPS for several years and have enjoyed the annual conferences. I am
a pain psychologist in the Detroit area working in the Pain Management
department of Beaumont Health- a large 8 hospital health system in Southeast
Michigan. My current work focuses on the self-management of and coping with
chronic pain and other chronic health conditions. I also participate in pain
education for the health system and am involved in physician wellness
initiatives. As others also mentioned, I recently joined the Michigan
Psychological Association’s Pain Psychology Task Force to be more involved with
the network of pain psychology in our area. I received my doctorate in
Clinical Psychology in 2001 while living in California and moved to Michigan in
2006. My husband and I have 2 children, enjoy traveling and spending time with
friends.
Sincerely,
Alina Stevenson

in metro Detroit. I work at the Mary Free Bed interdisciplinary pain
rehabilitation program in Novi. I'm a long-time Detroiter and got my PhD at
Wayne State University in 2011. In my free time, I spend time with my husband
and two kids, and enjoy gardening and reading.
Sincerely,
Olga Slavin-Spenny

Dear MPS members who have signed up for our listserv. The members of our
membership committee met last evening and decided to ask all everyone who has
signed up for the listserv to introduce themselves. This will begin the process
of building a cohesive village of professionals connected by the listserv. We
hope to hear from you soon.
I am J. Bruce Hillenberg, PhD, ABPP. I am a clinical health psychologist in
Michigan. I completed my PhD in clinical health psychology at West Virginia
University in 1984. My clinical, educational and research interests are in
self-management of acute pain, chronic pain, and chronic health conditions, and
stress among healthcare professionals. I have a strong interest in integrating
Buddhist psychology and evidence-based psychological strategies. I retired as

Immediate-Past President of the Midwest Pain Society. I am the current Chair of
the Pain Psychology Task Force for the Michigan Psychological Association. I
work half-time in my private clinical practice. My personal interests include
mindfulness practice, yoga, exercise, gardening, studying history, cooking,
traveling, and spending time with my wife Cindy, two daughters, family members
and friends.
Sincerely,
Bruce
