Chronic Pain
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Can chronic pain get better?
Yes! Our brain changes and adapt throughout our lifetime (i.e., this is called neuroplasticity). Habits are essentially strengthened roads or pathways when we repeatedly do or feel or think in the same way. When we continue to travel the same road or pathway, we strengthen the habit. When we form a new habit, we make new connections and old pathways are used less/weakened. The more we travel the pathway, the more our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours become second nature (e.g., like brushing teeth).
In chronic pain, the nervous system and brain have changed due to neuroplasticity in an unhelpful way. The good news is that we all have the ability to learn and change by rewiring our brain.

Chronic Pain
Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I work with individuals living with chronic pain or illness by exploring the emotional and relational dimensions of their experience. Using a psychodynamic approach, we uncover how past wounds, unspoken emotions, and unconscious patterns may influence how the body holds stress and experiences pain. Together, we create space for healing that honors both the physical and emotional realities of your experience.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
Caitlin Marchand
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Chronic pain or illness is a widespread phenomena, however lots of people feel as though they need to keep their experiences to themselves. Therapy can provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings about navigating life's challenges and resisting socio-cultural expectations about what your life "should" look like. Your experience is real and valid, and I work collaboratively with clients to not only explore your experiences, but to also highlight your successes and celebrate the way you do things. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Chronic Pain
Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic Pain can turn your life upside down. It can make you feel helpless and alone, like you have lost everything and that your life is over. What if there was another way? What if we told you that your life may never be the same but that you could still have a full life? Would you take this chance?

Chronic Pain
Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Living with chronic pain, chronic illness, or persistent symptoms can affect more than your body. It can change how you work, sleep, relate to others, and imagine your future. Other people may see you functioning without realizing what it costs you afterward, while you feel exhausted, isolated, or worn down by living in a body you can no longer fully trust. Therapy cannot erase the physical realities you face. It can give you a place to process what your health has changed, navigate uncertainty, strengthen your ability to cope, and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

5 Years Experience
Online in Toronto, ON
Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
