Chronic Pain or Illness
Meredith Mpinga
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
As a covid-conscious therapist, I want to ensure that Meadowinds is a safe space for clients who are vulnerable or suffering from chronic illness.
Our current dystopian reality can bring up so many feelings of grief, loneliness, despair, anger... and yet often the supports and resources we've relied on in the past to help us through challenges are not as accessible today.
Whether you want a safe space to process your own emotions, losses, and challenges with the ongoing pandemic, or you just want a therapist who won't pathologise your precautions as you seek support for other concerns, I'm here for you.
At Meadowinds, sessions are available either in person with masking or on an online video platform from the comfort of your home.
Current office protocols include running an air purifier with HEPA filtration, staggering sessions to limit contact in the waiting room, and transitioning to an online session if symptomatic.

Chronic Pain or physical illnnesses often have a psychological impact as well. Working with the mind body approach learning how emotions impact physical illnesses and vice versa. Being curious of why the pain or illness is present and your relationship to it. Relaxation techniques are especially important in implementing in everyday routines.

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.
