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.

Mind Path Therapy
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Chronic pain or illness is mood-altering and is a frequent barrier that comes between sufferers and many parts of their lives. If this is something you live with, you've probably experienced too many occasions when important parts of your life were put on hold, and your attention becomes narrowed and dominated by painful sensations. When life becomes dominated by pain, the natural way to respond is by bracing mentally and physically. I've helped many clients with debilitating and chronic pain symptoms find a more flexible way of living with their symptoms. Using an integrative approach of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and principles of self-compassion, you can learn to grow a more open, accepting, and mindful posture, one that shifts attention from the pain you're experiencing to the things and activities you care about.

Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting and lead to many other mental health issues. We may not be able to make pain go away, but we can adjust the way we perceive pain and the relationship we have with pain in a way that allows our mind to rest, even when our bodies are dealing with difficult experiences.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living with chronic illness or pain can be isolating and exhausting, especially when others don’t fully understand what it’s like. You may feel grief for the life you had, fear about the future, or frustration with your body. In therapy, we’ll explore the emotional impact of your health challenges and help you cultivate self-compassion and resilience as you adjust to a new rhythm of living. Together, we’ll also look at how to set realistic expectations for yourself — ones that honour your energy, capacity, and needs. This is a space to be honest about what’s hard and to discover strength, gentleness, and meaning in the midst of it.

Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
Some research has shown that chronic pain can be linked to trauma. EMDR therapy has shown promise as a complementary approach for individuals experiencing chronic pain. By addressing the emotional and psychological components of pain, EMDR can help reduce distress and improve the overall quality of life for those living with chronic pain conditions. As a therapist with lived experience with chronic pain, I can attest to its efficiency in helping reduce symptoms, especially if they are linked to past events.

Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RPq
Chronic pain and illness can often be intertwined with past trauma, as our bodies can "keep the score" of emotional and physical stress. I specialize in helping clients manage chronic pain and illness by exploring how unresolved trauma may contribute to their physical symptoms. Through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I guide clients in processing traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact, and helping the body release stored tension. Alongside EMDR, I use mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to empower clients to regain control over their health and well-being. Together, we’ll work on alleviating the emotional burden of chronic pain, promoting healing, and enhancing quality of life.

Living with chronic pain or illness fundamentally changes your relationship with your environment, a reality compounded by a medical system that frequently dismisses marginalised or complex identities. I offer a slow, gentle online space in Vancouver to process the complex emotional grief, nervous system exhaustion, and isolation that physical suffering brings. Together, we will use somatic tracking to listen to your body's messages with kindness, moving toward a collaborative and compassionate relationship with your physical self.

Dr Calvin Young
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Somatic and body-based issues are a part of the cycle of behaviors that we see in clinical care settings. My background as a special forces medic, and my work with patients who are experiencing physical injuries, such as injured migrant farmworkers, along with my integrative approach to care give me unique insights and a toolbox of complementary approaches that have been demonstrated to work with pain and illness issues, although I do not profess to be a physician, nor do I play one anywhere, not even on TV!
