Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Chronic pain or illness impacts far more than just the body. It can affect identity, energy, mood, relationships, self-worth, work, and the exhausting reality of trying to function when your body or nervous system feels unpredictable.
I understand that chronic pain and illness are not just physical experiences — they often come with grief, burnout, trauma, frustration, and the pressure of trying to keep up in ways that may no longer work.
My approach is compassionate, realistic, and practical. Together, we work on reducing shame, supporting your nervous system, processing the emotional weight of what you’re carrying, strengthening self-advocacy, and building a life that honors your needs while still making space for meaning, joy, and possibility.

Transformative Chronic Illness Therapy: Reclaim Power and Peace in Your Relationships
I’m here to guide you through a deeply healing journey if you’re struggling with the emotional and physical suffering of chronic illness. You might feel helpless, victimized, or powerless in your relationships, maybe always people-pleasing or living at the mercy of others’ emotions. I get it—these patterns can feel like they’re draining your energy and keeping you stuck. My chronic illness therapy practice is all about helping you uncover the roots of these struggles, often tied to childhood experiences, and empowering you to find balance, release control, and reclaim your inner peace.
A Trauma-Informed Path to Healing
The psychology of chronic illness often stems from early experiences, like growing up tiptoeing around a parent’s anger or emotional outbursts. That fear of being attacked or not being enough can carry into adulthood, showing up as controlling others, frequent anger, or putting people on a pedestal while feeling powerless yourself. I’ve seen how these dynamics—rooted in childhood—can weigh heavily on your health and relationships. In our work, we’ll gently explore those roots, using trauma-informed therapy to shine a light on how they’re affecting you today.
We’ll focus on healing the power struggles in your relationships, both past and present. This means learning to balance power—neither controlling nor surrendering to others—and letting go of the fear that you’re under attack. My approach is holistic and intuitive, tailored to your unique story, helping you release the need to please or depend on others for validation. Together, we’ll rebuild your sense of autonomy, so you can feel grounded and in charge of your own life.
Releasing Control and Finding Freedom
Healing chronic illness isn’t just about your body; it’s about transforming how you show up in relationships. We’ll work on letting go of control, whether it’s trying to manage others’ emotions or holding onto old fears from childhood. I’ll guide you to honour your own needs, set healthy boundaries, and release the patterns that keep you feeling powerless. This process is deeply compassionate, creating a safe space where you can feel seen and supported as you move toward wholeness.
If you’re ready to break free from these cycles and heal the emotional roots of chronic illness, I’m here to walk with you. Let’s work together to restore balance, empower your voice, and help you live with greater peace and strength. Book a consultation with me today, and let’s start this transformative journey.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Chronic pain and illness often reflect unresolved emotional trauma, where repressed emotions and chronic stress can rewire the nervous system. In my approach, we explore the root of the pain to identify the emotions that have not been fully expressed or processed. By focusing on the whole person, not just the symptoms, we work on cultivating self-compassion, emotional awareness, and reconnecting the mind and body.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic pain is a challenging and often overwhelming condition that can deeply affect your life. It is characterized by persistent discomfort lasting longer than three months, even after injuries or underlying issues have healed. This pain can arise from various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathy, and it can significantly diminish your quality of life.
If you are living with chronic pain, you might find yourself facing physical limitations, emotional distress, and difficulties with daily activities. This can create a frustrating cycle that often leads to feelings of isolation.
It's important to know that you are not alone in this struggle. Managing chronic pain frequently requires a holistic approach, which may include medical treatments, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and emotional support. Finding coping strategies, like mindfulness practices and stress management techniques, can be vital in helping you regain a sense of control and improve your overall well-being. Remember, taking small steps toward management can make a big difference in your journey.

Anna Skomorovskaia (Sky)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
I chose to work with chronic pain because I recognize the significant impact it can have on a person's quality of life. Chronic pain is a complex and often debilitating condition that can cause physical, emotional, and social challenges. It can also lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I believe that by addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of chronic pain, individuals can better manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. Through therapy, I work collaboratively with my clients to learn the roots of difficulties, explore their thoughts and feelings about chronic pain and develop coping strategies to manage their symptoms. I am committed to providing a supportive and compassionate space where my clients can feel heard and understood, and I am dedicated to helping them improve their quality of life.
