Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Living with chronic pain or illness changes not just your body, but your sense of who you are and what you can count on. I work with clients navigating grief, identity shifts, medical trauma, and the relational weight of being ill in a world that prefers you to get better quickly. Therapy here isn't about acceptance as a destination. It's about having somewhere honest to put all of it.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we understand that chronic pain is not simply a physical experience but one that ripples through every area of life, affecting identity, relationships, work, and emotional wellbeing in ways that are often underestimated and misunderstood. Grounded in modern pain science, our therapists work with clients to understand the profound connection between mind and body, helping to influence the way the brain modulates pain signals while also addressing the grief, fear, shame, and despair that so frequently accompany persistent pain. As one of the only counselling practices in Vancouver embedded within a multidisciplinary clinic, we offer direct access to physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and other allied health professionals, ensuring that clients receive the integrated, whole-person care that chronic pain truly requires.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Living with chronic pain or illness doesn't just hurt your body—it isolates you, shrinks your world, and makes you feel invisible to those who can't understand. I see you, and I know how the physical suffering entangles with grief, frustration, identity loss, and fear. Together, we'll work toward emotional freedom even when physical limitations remain. You'll learn how others have found meaning and peace despite ongoing pain, discover tools for nervous system regulation that reduce suffering's grip, and reclaim agency over your inner life. Healing isn't about fixing what can't be fixed—it's about living fully despite it. You're not alone anymore.

Meredith Dow
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.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Living with chronic illness or chronic pain can feel all-consuming and exhausting, affecting your physical health, emotional well-being, mental health, and day-to-day functioning. It often involves significant grief—particularly if diagnosis comes later in life—as you adjust to changes in your body, abilities, identity, and the way you move through the world.
I have a personal understanding of this experience, as I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in my late 20s. Navigating chronic pain and nervous system dysregulation has been an ongoing process of learning, adaptation, and finding new ways to support my body and wellbeing.
In our work together, we focus on reconnecting with self, building resilience, and developing sustainable strategies for daily life. This includes cultivating self-compassion, strengthening nervous system regulation, and identifying supportive resources and pacing that honour your capacity.
I draw from Adlerian Therapy, IFS, ACT, EMDR and somatic therapy to support both emotional processing and practical coping. Together, we work toward creating a more balanced and manageable way of living with chronic illness or pain.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to learn more about my approach.

Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I have many years of Oncology experience which has given me in-depth knowledge in a patient's journey through cancer. Cancer not only affects an individual but it affects their family and a wide circle of caregivers. Finding the right support in this challenging time can be beneficial for the individual's mental, emotional as well as physical health whether you are dealing with cancer or are a caregiver for someone going through cancer.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
People often think of chronic pain as a physical problem. But living with chronic pain can take a heavy psychological toll. It can create feelings of anger, hopelessness, shame and isolation. It can impact your sleep, your diet, and can contribute to a variety of psychological symptoms such as depression, phobia and anxiety.
Together we will make a pain management plan that involves identifying the thoughts and emotions contributing to your pain. Through counselling, we can find a way for you to handle your pain more effectively, and improve your self-esteem and overall quality of life.

Chronic pain and illness often have layers that go beyond the physical body. I work somatically, in a trauma informed and nervous system aware way, to gently explore the root patterns that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms. Our work may include inner child healing, IFS & parts work, hypnotherapy, or energy-healing based practices, always guided by your system and paced with care. I offer a specialized body-based healing program for women who are ready to receive in-depth, holistic, support for their physical and health concerns. I would love to support you.

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada, Telus, and other major technology companies — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
