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.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Chronic pain often reflects a nervous system stuck in activation or survival responses (fight/flight/freeze). SE helps regulate these states, release held tension, and reduce the body’s stress load, which can ease pain and improve overall functioning.

Chronic Pain
Natalia Vyzhol
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Living with Chronic Pain or Illness
Chronic conditions affect more than just the body—they shape how we think, feel, relate, and move through daily life. My approach is designed to meet these challenges with depth, flexibility, and compassion.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, I support a process of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mind-body integration. Together, we explore how pain is experienced physically and emotionally, and how subconscious patterns may influence the way it’s held in the body.
My Approach Includes:
• Thoughtfully tailored support based on your unique condition, needs, and goals
• Integration of therapeutic modalities including CBT, mindfulness, psychosomatic awareness, and Gestalt principles
• Ongoing reflection and adjustment to meet what’s emerging in your process
• Attention to both physical discomfort and emotional impact—without rushing or bypassing
This work is about learning to live in relationship with your body, not in battle with it. It’s about building resilience, expanding choice, and finding new ways to move forward—one step at a time.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
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.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
