Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Adjusting to new limitations can be difficult. A change in health, whether sudden or gradual, can be disorienting and frustrating. There can be so much grief tied up in changes to our health. No longer having the ability to do the activities we enjoy and having to change our plans for the future are just two of the many ways grief can impact our ability to adjust to chronic pain or illness. I work with people who are experiencing chronic pain, disability, or illness and the caregivers who support them to continue to live meaningful, connected lives.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Chronic pain or illness can impact every aspect of your life. Having lived with chronic illness myself and supported others through their journey, I understand the daily challenges of managing physical pain while maintaining emotional and mental well-being. My approach integrates both traditional therapy and somatic techniques, helping you cope with the emotional impact of chronic illness. Together, we can work on strategies that ease both physical discomfort and the mental burdens that often accompany chronic conditions.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more that the body. It can change your relationship with work, sleep, movement, identity, relationships, hope, and the future you imagined for yourself. I offer a space where all of that can belong. Through a holistic and somatic approach, we can explore the relationship between your nervous system, emotions, thoughts, physical experience, and the stresses your system carries. The goal isn't to dismiss or explain away physical symptoms, but to support greater regulation, resilience, self-understanding, and quality of life alongside what your body is experiencing.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Chronic pain and illness often have layers that go beyond the physical body. I work somatically, in a trauma informed and nervous system aware way, to gently explore the root patterns that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms. Our work may include inner child healing, IFS & parts work, hypnotherapy, or energy-healing based practices, always guided by your system and paced with care. I offer a specialized body-based healing program for women who are ready to receive in-depth, holistic, support for their physical and health concerns. I would love to support you.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
My approach draws on trauma processing and body-based therapies, including EMDR and Brainspotting, to work with the intersection of chronic pain and trauma. I have additional training in using EMDR to address pain, and I bring an understanding of chronic illness and pain to this work, including through my own lived experience with both. Therapy is collaborative and paced with sensitivity to the physical and emotional realities of living with chronic pain and health conditions. Depending on your needs, sessions may focus on distressing experiences, pain-related triggers, nervous system responses, and the ways pain and trauma can compound one another.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
As I understand from decades of living with chronic pain or illness, it can affect far more than your physical health. You may be coping with exhaustion, uncertainty, grief, frustration, changes in identity, or the strain of having to continually explain what you are experiencing to others. I offer a supportive space to explore the emotional impact of chronic health challenges without minimizing the reality of what your body is going through. Drawing on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts-oriented work, I help clients develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and find greater steadiness and choice while living with circumstances that may not be fully within their control.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, chronic-pain and illness are both symptomatic of unresolved trauma, both physical and mental. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your health and how your mind and body impact each other. It can include helping you learn how to better cope with your condition, while also doing the processing work to resolve your trauma. It can also include helping you develop stronger self advocacy to better navigate through the health care systems.
