Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
Many of my clients have or are experiencing chronic pain or illness, and I've learned much from my own experiences as well. I know that pain and illness is experienced differently by everyone and can intersect with our life, relationships, and identities in complex ways. It might bring up deep existential anxieties about life and death or trigger past traumas where you felt unsafe or uncared for. You might be navigating ableism—systemic barriers, medical trauma, or a lack of understanding from those around you. Maybe the pain or illness is an embraced part of you, or teaching you something you'd like to process together. Or perhaps you need to someone to see the anguish you're in and really be with you in this pain, grief, frustration, or scary uncertainty. Whatever you bring, I'll be attentive and present to what pain and illness means for you specifically.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
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.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
With Chronic pain and illness the mind body connection becomes a focus of our work together. Physical discomfort and struggles with t he medical system takes an emotional toll. I work with chronic pain or illness through a mindfulness, trauma-informed wisdom and acceptance lens. This is my specialization as I find the worst part of chronic pain or illness is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and excessive shame My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental so you can explore your history and current situation to build the wisdom and courage to find a new path forward.

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.
