Chronic Pain or Illness

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy Services

Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic Pain can turn your life upside down. It can make you feel helpless and alone, like you have lost everything and that your life is over. What if there was another way? What if we told you that your life may never be the same but that you could still have a full life? Would you take this chance?

Chronic Pain or Illness

Forouz Salari

Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Living with a chronic illness (such as PCOS, endometriosis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, Lupus, etc.) or chronic pain (resulting from a chronic illness, injury or trauma) can radically change your mental, emotional and physical capacity to engage in your life, including your work / studies, relationships, hobbies, interests and self-care activities. Living with these types of invisible disabilities means that others struggle to understand, empathize with, and extend grace and compassion towards you. They either do not know about, do not think about, cannot imagine, or refuse to offer you the types of accommodations that would support you to show up, engage and contribute to the best of your abilities. This can make you feel further misunderstood, isolated and marginalized, and reduce your access to resources and opportunities for care and growth. Let's work together to: Practice self-acceptance and self-compassion. Learn effective ways of managing your stress to reduce the intensity of the symptoms of chronic illness and chronic pain. Clarify your unique needs and boundaries. Create doable plans to feel more balanced, well, fulfilled and engaged in your work / studies, relationships, and personal life. Learn about and self-advocate for academic & workplace accommodations that can set you up for success.

Chronic Pain or Illness

Valerie Dessaulles

Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
When you have been suffering from pain on a daily basis, or have just been diagnosed with a lifelong illness it can be hard to know where to turn. It can feel very isolating, because we don't want to burden our loved ones with our struggles. It can feel like you are living life with a heavy burden and you don't know where to offload some of the stress - let me help. I know what chronic pain can feel like, or hearing that diagnosis - let me help you to find a way to continue to live your best life, or challenge yourself to feel better. I will help you find tools that work for you and your injury / illness that won't increase your pain, but helps you to ease it.

Chronic Pain or Illness

Anna Skomorovskaia (Sky)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
I chose to work with chronic pain because I recognize the significant impact it can have on a person's quality of life. Chronic pain is a complex and often debilitating condition that can cause physical, emotional, and social challenges. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I believe that by addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of chronic pain, individuals can better manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. Through therapy, I work collaboratively with my clients to learn the roots of difficulties, explore their thoughts and feelings about chronic pain and develop coping strategies to manage their symptoms. I am committed to providing a supportive and compassionate space where my clients can feel heard and understood, and I am dedicated to helping them improve their quality of life.
