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.”

Counsellor/Therapist, RPC
Chronic pain counselling offers compassionate relief for those enduring persistent physical and emotional tolls, transforming suffering into manageable daily life. Tailored for adults facing conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, or injury aftermaths, sessions integrate mind-body approaches: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness meditation, and acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT) to reframe pain narratives, reduce isolation, and restore hope. Learn practical tools—breathing exercises, pacing strategies, and emotional resilience—to complement medical treatments and reclaim joy in relationships, work, and self-care. From flare-up frustration to empowered adaptation, specialized support lightens the load. Reclaim vitality amid pain; begin your healing path today.

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.
