Chronic Pain or Illness
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Do you sometimes feel hopeless in living a rich and full-filling life due to debilitating pain or illness? If so, I can assure you there are ways to still experience pleasure despite the hardships. A fundamental part of therapy involves helping you express your pain as well as find different ways of relating to it. Rather than relate to the pain in ways that interfere with your lifelong goals of happiness and growth I help you work with your pain in a different way. The models that I predominantly use for this area of focus are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy. As we connect these models to your unique experiences of pain or illness, you may discover that even though discomfort is present, it does not have to take over or disrupt the type of life that you would like to live. If you are somebody experiencing chronic pain or illness, I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that will help to distill hope for a new and improved future. Feel free to contact me, it is never too late to make positive changes in your life.

Valerie Dessaulles
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
When you have been suffering from pain on a daily basis, or have just been diagnosed with a lifelong illness it can be hard to know where to turn. It can feel very isolating, because we don't want to burden our loved ones with our struggles. It can feel like you are living life with a heavy burden and you don't know where to offload some of the stress - let me help. I know what chronic pain can feel like, or hearing that diagnosis - let me help you to find a way to continue to live your best life, or challenge yourself to feel better. I will help you find tools that work for you and your injury / illness that won't increase your pain, but helps you to ease it.
