Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
My approach draws on trauma processing and body-based therapies, including EMDR and Brainspotting, to work with the intersection of chronic pain and trauma. I have additional training in using EMDR to address pain, and I bring an understanding of chronic illness and pain to this work, including through my own lived experience with both. Therapy is collaborative and paced with sensitivity to the physical and emotional realities of living with chronic pain and health conditions. Depending on your needs, sessions may focus on distressing experiences, pain-related triggers, nervous system responses, and the ways pain and trauma can compound one another.

Chronic Pain
Candice Seligman

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.

By learning ways to make space for the difficult emotions, thoughts, and sensations that come with chronic pain or illness, we can learn to be more mindful compassionate towards ourselves rather than fight so much against what is the reality of this moment. With compassion and an understanding that progress has to be made at your pace, I look forward to working with you to help you pursue meaning and fulfillment amidst chronic pain and illness.

Chronic Pain
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
As I understand from decades of living with chronic pain or illness, it can affect far more than your physical health. You may be coping with exhaustion, uncertainty, grief, frustration, changes in identity, or the strain of having to continually explain what you are experiencing to others. I offer a supportive space to explore the emotional impact of chronic health challenges without minimizing the reality of what your body is going through. Drawing on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts-oriented work, I help clients develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and find greater steadiness and choice while living with circumstances that may not be fully within their control.

It can also include helping you develop stronger self advocacy to better navigate through the health care systems.

Chronic Pain
Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Living with chronic pain or illness often means navigating a body that feels unpredictable. This can work to deeply impact your confidence, your sense of capability, and how you view yourself. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help you cultivate a sense of safety and support within your body, rather than feeling at war with it. Together, we can gently explore the heavy thoughts and complex emotions that chronic illness brings up, especially those that try to make you feel small, defined by your limits, or isolated. Amidst the challenges, we will honor your deep inner strength and resilience, working collaboratively to find ways to support your well-being. This work happens at your pace, holding space for both the hard days and the moments of grace.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Angela Cowling
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified Grief Counselling Specialist, RP, BA, MA, MACP
Chronic illness and health anxiety are my specialty areas. I've helped people with chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, cancer, genetic disorders, chronic pain, and supported parents of seriously ill children... including the anxiety that comes with it all!
It's scary, frustrating, and annoying to deal with the symptoms, diagnosis, and daily life being ill. I can also help you with grief of the loss of your healthy self. I understand this all in a different way, because I also live with a chronic illness.
Together we can work on new ways to cope, manage uncertainty, and learn how to accept life with a chronic illness. We can work on creating life balance - your illness may be a big part of your life, but it does not need to define you.
I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what you need. Let's get you feeling better!

Chronic Pain
Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Living with chronic pain or illness means grieving the life you planned while building one your body can hold, often while feeling dismissed or unseen. The frustration, the isolation, the identity questions that come with a changed body: these deserve real attention, not just symptom checklists. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to process what illness has changed, work with the anxiety and low mood that often travel with it, and reconnect with what still brings you meaning. The goal isn't just to endure, it's to genuinely understand your relationship with your body, build habits that nourish rather than deplete you, and find fulfillment within your reality. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more at peace with your body, and more equipped for the life in front of you.

Chronic Pain
Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Living with chronic pain or long-term illness can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Beyond the symptoms themselves, many people find their nervous system becomes stuck in a state of vigilance, tension, or struggle, making it difficult for the body to rest, regulate, and heal.
From a mindfulness-based perspective, pain is often understood as the body’s way of communicating that something needs attention or change. When signals from the body are ignored or pushed through over time, the nervous system may respond by amplifying those signals — not as punishment, but as an attempt to be heard and protected.
Thoughts, emotions, and perception also play an important role. Ongoing fear, resistance, pessimism, or self-judgment can be reflected in the body as tension and unease, much like waking from a bad dream with the body still holding fear. Over time, this lack of internal ease can interrupt the body’s natural flow and regulation, contributing to persistent pain.
Chronic pain also commonly goes hand-in-hand with disrupted or poor-quality sleep. When the body doesn’t have enough opportunity to rest deeply, its ability to repair, replenish, and heal is reduced, which can further reinforce pain and fatigue.
In our work together, the focus is on gently restoring a sense of safety, awareness, and ease within the body. Through mindfulness practices, breath awareness, and body-based attention, clients learn how to relate differently to physical sensations, reduce resistance, and support the nervous system in settling.
Hypnotherapy can further support this process by helping update subconscious protective patterns and creating felt experiences of calm and safety that also support more restorative rest. While this work does not replace medical care, many people find that as regulation improves, both pain and sleep begin to shift in more supportive ways.

Chronic Pain
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Adjusting to new limitations can be difficult. A change in health, whether sudden or gradual, can be disorienting and frustrating. There can be so much grief tied up in changes to our health. No longer having the ability to do the activities we enjoy and having to change our plans for the future are just two of the many ways grief can impact our ability to adjust to chronic pain or illness. I work with people who are experiencing chronic pain, disability, or illness and the caregivers who support them to continue to live meaningful, connected lives.
