You've suffered a long time. Chronic illness has robbed you of your joy and your identity.
"I've tried everything. I'm stuck."
You are exhausted. You have done it all, sometimes twice.
"I just want my life back."
That is what we'll work toward. Recovery, not just coping, is possible.
Your symptoms are real. Not imagined. Not exaggerated.
Who I Work With
You've seen all the doctors
Done all the tests. Tried all the treatments. Yet, the pain, the fatigue, the brain fog, and the abdominal discomfort are still there.
You're not broken. You're not out of options.
Beckon Health treats people living with chronic pain, fatigue, Long COVID, POTS, IBS, fibromyalgia, and medically unexplained symptoms who are open to a neuroscience-based explanation and treatment.
The Approach
A question conventional medicine rarely asks
What role is your nervous system playing in your symptoms?
A nervous system on high alert can create real physical pain and symptoms.
The brain develops maladaptive firing patterns in response to perceived danger signals. This produces and amplifies real physical symptoms in the body long after an injury has healed or when no structural cause is found.
Importantly, these brain firing patterns are reversible.
If the nervous system is contributing, we can rewire those neural circuits and help you get your life back.
What to Expect
We start with your story
A thorough initial visit. Together, we explore what your nervous system is responding to — injury, stress, trauma, or difficult emotions — and build a path forward that fits you.
You can be skeptical. You just need a little curiosity.
About Kim Fischer, MD
I specialize in treating chronic pain and neuroplastic symptoms: real physical pain and illness driven by a nervous system on high alert, not structural damage. Beckon Health is a physician-led telehealth practice built on compassionate, whole-person care and the latest neuroscience.

How We Work
The Patient Journey
The Initial Visit
1.5 hours. No rushing. You tell your whole story.
We review your history, prior treatments, and social and emotional wellbeing. I consider every possible cause of your symptoms, structural and neuroplastic. The goal is to build a clear picture of you as a whole person and to determine whether a sensitized nervous system is driving your symptoms.
Treatment
Learn how symptoms are generated
You will learn how the brain and nervous system generate real physical symptoms and how to use that understanding to recover.
Treatment draws from:
Somatic tracking and nervous system calming practices
Emotional awareness and expression work
Graded exposure to re-engage in meaningful activities
Self-compassion and visualization
Over time these practices help you reinterpret your symptoms as a sensation coming from an over sensitized nervous system rather than evidence of a dangerous physical condition.
No strict regimen. Treatment is built around you.
Recovery
Get your life back
The goal is not to manage symptoms. It is recovery, returning to the life and activities that chronic symptoms took from you.
About
Kim Fischer, MD
Photo placeholder
Hello. I'm Dr. Kim Fischer, a board-certified anesthesiologist specializing in chronic pain and symptom recovery. Beckon Health is a physician-led telehealth practice serving patients in Colorado and Oregon.
Starting in medical school, I questioned the separation of mind and body. I wondered what we were missing when we failed to see a person as a whole being. That curiosity never left me.
This question followed me into practice. As an anesthesiologist, I regularly cared for patients undergoing their second, third, even fourth back surgery for chronic pain. Surely their back could not be the only source of their pain after the structural issue had been addressed.
I didn't find the answer until I found myself in pain.
I searched for physical explanations of my pain, saw multiple clinicians, and collected imaging that revealed small abnormalities, what I now understand as normal abnormalities unlikely to generate the debilitating pain I was experiencing. It was my physical therapist who first introduced me to neuroplastic pain. Once I learned the neuroscience, it was clear: this was the missing link I had been searching for since medical school.
After healing myself, I sought out the leading experts in the field and trained formally in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy, and Internal Family Systems work. I now bring those same tools to my patients.
Practicing mindbody medicine has reignited my joy for medicine. I have watched people who suffered for decades recover in ways I had never witnessed outside of this approach.
Having been a patient myself, I know what it means to finally feel heard. I bring that attention, and my clinical training, to every patient I see.

Beyond Pain Education
Internal Family Systems Therapy, Level One
Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy for Chronic Pain
I am a physician who has been a patient myself. I bring both clinical expertise and personal understanding to every visit.
It is important to rule out any unexamined structural causes of your symptoms with a physician prior to pursuing neuroplastic treatments.
How many visits will I need?+
Early on, we meet more frequently to learn the science and the tools. As you gain confidence in the work, visits become less frequent. The goal is that you leave with the knowledge and skills to sustain your own recovery.
Do you prescribe medicine?+
I do not prescribe medications. The treatment used in this approach is non-pharmacological. If you are currently on a medication that is helping you, you are welcome to continue it alongside this work.
Do you see patients in person?+
Beckon Health is fully telehealth.
What states do you see patients in?+
Colorado and Oregon. If you are located elsewhere, please .
Do you accept insurance?+
Beckon Health is self-pay and does not accept insurance. A sliding scale is available.
What are your fees?+
New patient visit (90 minutes)$300
Follow-up visit (60 minutes)$210
A sliding scale is available. Reach out if cost is a concern.
What are neuroplastic symptoms?+
Real physical pain and symptoms generated by a nervous system on high alert. The brain develops maladaptive firing patterns in response to perceived danger signals. This produces and amplifies symptoms in the body over time, even after an injury has healed or when no structural cause is found. Your symptoms are not imagined and these brain firing patterns are reversible.
How is this different from therapy?+
This approach is grounded in neuroscience and begins with a thorough medical evaluation. We address your symptoms, history, imaging, prior treatments, emotions and stress. I work collaboratively with therapists and refer when it serves you. This work is complementary, not competing.
What if I have a structural diagnosis?+
A structural finding — a herniated disc, arthritis, degenerative changes — does not rule out a neuroplastic contribution. Many people with chronic symptoms have both. Part of our work together is understanding what is driving your symptoms.
