Christopher Cannon
Counsellor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Living with ongoing pain or illness can wear down your mood, relationships, and sense of who you are. While I don’t treat the medical condition itself, I help clients work with the stress, fear, and grief that come with it. Somatic approaches can help you relate to your body with more curiosity and less bracing, which many people find makes daily life more manageable alongside their medical care.

Kate Hollowell Sheldon
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych.
I used to work at a chronic pain clinic early in my career. Throughout the years, I have also worked with clients who are diagnosed with terminal health conditions or they experienced life changing difficulties with surgery or injury. Sometimes I utilize EMDR for pain management and I can teach the client how to use tapping to alleviate some of their pain flareups or give them a break from the chronic pain they are experiencing. This topic also involves some grief and loss work with a client around their physical abilities and their identity. In the case of a client who has a terminal illness, we work on how they want to live their life with meaning and purpose.

Amelia Traer
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), BA, PsiChi
When your body becomes unpredictable, life can start to feel like a constant exercise in adapting, explaining, and pushing through. Chronic pain and illness can affect far more than your physical health, impacting your identity, relationships, work, and sense of what the future will look like. Therapy can offer a space to process the grief, frustration, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion that can come with living in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. Amelia offers compassionate, validating support to help you navigate life with chronic pain or illness without minimizing what you’re going through or expecting you to simply “stay positive.”
