Chronic Pain
Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Chronic pain or illness can feel limiting , making it hard to find pleasure in life. I know, having lived with a chronic illness for decades. I can travel with you as you navigate these challenges, and offer tools for managing some of the psychological struggle that goes along with the physical struggle; struggles like "why me", the stress and pain of trying to get through the day, feeling different from others, and the uncertainty and helplessness you may feel. There are tools like grounding, mindfulness and acceptance I can help you with, and we can do work with past experiences that may be contributing to some of your present psychological suffering.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Living with chronic pain or a persistent health condition—such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or chronic headaches—takes a profound physical and emotional toll. The mind and body are deeply connected, and dealing with invisible symptoms can often leave you feeling isolated or fatigued by constant management. Using a collaborative, evidence-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to help you navigate the heavy emotional weight of chronic illness, pace your energy, and develop compassionate strategies to improve your quality of life and restore a sense of agency.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with chronic pain or illness, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Chronic Pain
Angela Cowling
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified Grief Counselling Specialist, RP, BA, MA, MACP
Chronic illness and health anxiety are my specialty areas. I've helped people with chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, cancer, genetic disorders, chronic pain, and supported parents of seriously ill children... including the anxiety that comes with it all!
It's scary, frustrating, and annoying to deal with the symptoms, diagnosis, and daily life being ill. I can also help you with grief of the loss of your healthy self. I understand this all in a different way, because I also live with a chronic illness.
Together we can work on new ways to cope, manage uncertainty, and learn how to accept life with a chronic illness. We can work on creating life balance - your illness may be a big part of your life, but it does not need to define you.
I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what you need. Let's get you feeling better!
