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
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
I have made Chronic Illness and Pain a specialty in my practice and I have trained with some of the leading experts in that area. I have worked with many chronic pain sufferers, often eliminating all their pain even when it has been a long standing problem. As far as illnesses go, I have been able to eliminate all the symptoms of a client who was suffering from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a degenerative neurological condition related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. When I first met him, he had been degenerating for 12 years, was confined to a wheelchair, could no longer speak, drooled constantly, suffered from tremors and repetitive movements, inability to sleep and he lacked motivation to do his physical therapy, the only treatment doctors could offer him. With no treatment or drugs for his condition, doctors expected him to die soon most likely from choking as he lost control of his swallowing. After one session, we stopped the tremors and repetitive movements, got him to sleep more soundly and do his PT. After a second session he was able to speak again and walk again. After 5 sessions one couldn't even tell he was sick and now 6 years later he is still gardening, walking his dog, hiking in the mountains. Soon after I worked with a gentleman who had developed an adult onset form of Muscular Dystrophy called Myotonic Dystrophy. Only 45 years old, he suffered from severe chronic fatigue, finding himself unable to get out of bed in the morning, taking hours to stand up. He had muscular pain and rigidity, painful joints and various digestive issues. The morning after our first session, he woke up full of energy and jumped out of bed. After a few more sessions we eliminated all his physical symptoms as well as clearing several emotional issues that had plagued him his whole life. Recently he contacted me to update me and report his still feeling good. I have also worked with clients with MS and Parkinsons> This past year I trained and certified in treating IBS and other gut conditions, learning a protocol which is considered the most effective treatment for these issues. I have also trained and certified in Hypno-Oncology, enabling me to support patients on their Cancer journey to deal with pain, anxiety, and the effects of treatment such as nausea. Recently, I worked with a woman with stage 4 lung Cancer. Her only hope was a new experimental protocol that involved a long needle inserted into the stomach. She had a lifelong needle phobia and was terrified. After the first grueling treatment she came home and cried and vomited for 3 days. After one session she went in for her second treatment and she was able to laugh and sing show tunes with the nurses throughout the treatment, felt no pain and went home calm and relaxed.

Chronic Pain
Meredith Dow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
As a covid-conscious therapist, I want to ensure that Meadowinds is a safe space for clients who are vulnerable or suffering from chronic illness.
Our current dystopian reality can bring up so many feelings of grief, loneliness, despair, anger... and yet often the supports and resources we've relied on in the past to help us through challenges are not as accessible today.
Whether you want a safe space to process your own emotions, losses, and challenges with the ongoing pandemic, or you just want a therapist who won't pathologise your precautions as you seek support for other concerns, I'm here for you.
At Meadowinds, sessions are available either in person with masking or on an online video platform from the comfort of your home.
Current office protocols include running an air purifier with HEPA filtration, staggering sessions to limit contact in the waiting room, and transitioning to an online session if symptomatic.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
