Chronic Pain or Illness
Stacy Kirkbride - Turnpage Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
Accepting New Clients
Chronic pain and illness can bring immense grief, a profound sense of loss, and deep uncertainty about the future. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals living with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and long-term illnesses, as well as those navigating post-injury recovery or the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause and post-menopause. With specialized training in diabetes and mental health, I understand the complexities of managing both physical and emotional well-being.
I help clients adjust to new diagnoses, cope with ongoing health changes, and address the impact on self-esteem, relationships, and mental health. Together, we’ll explore ways to process grief, rediscover your sense of self, and rebuild confidence in navigating life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or changes in your interpersonal relationships, I provide a safe and compassionate space to help you find resilience, meaning, and hope amid the uncertainty.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Can chronic pain get better?
Yes! Our brain changes and adapt throughout our lifetime (i.e., this is called neuroplasticity). Habits are essentially strengthened roads or pathways when we repeatedly do or feel or think in the same way. When we continue to travel the same road or pathway, we strengthen the habit. When we form a new habit, we make new connections and old pathways are used less/weakened. The more we travel the pathway, the more our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours become second nature (e.g., like brushing teeth).
In chronic pain, the nervous system and brain have changed due to neuroplasticity in an unhelpful way. The good news is that we all have the ability to learn and change by rewiring our brain.
Join our clinicians to participate in our 10-session Mind-Body Connection program designed to teach you strategies to manage chronic pain. Meet Laura, our awesome physiotherapist who can also provide additional strategies.

Chronic Pain or Illness
EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Chronic pain illness unveils a profound interconnection between physical suffering and emotional wounds. Anxiety can be intensified and prolonged by unresolved attachment problems and earlier traumas, which have their roots in the complex web of early relationships. Like echoes from the past, these emotional scars manifest in the body, weaving a tangled web of discomfort and distress. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for exploring the hidden depths of pain, unraveling the intertwined threads of attachment dynamics and trauma history. By nurturing compassionate connections and addressing the underlying emotional triggers, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of chronic pain, reclaiming a sense of empowerment and resilience in their journey towards healing.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Brenda Cohen
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying) BA, PsyDipl
When we face things we cannot change, it can be immobilizing. Chronic pain and illness present unique challenges that deeply affect a person’s emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Chronic illness often leads us to an existential crises, where we question our worth, purpose, and the meaning of our life. The constant presence of pain or disability may make us feel like our life has been robbed from us, reduced to a series of limitations and struggles. My therapeutic approach rests on the premise that survival and well-being are enhanced through the finding of meaning, even in the face of suffering. At some level we choose how we will mentally and emotionally relate to our unchangeable physical realities. Together let us explore a new narrative that includes living with intentionality.
