Chronic Pain
Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting - physically, emotionally, and relationally. We offer a trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach that helps you navigate the emotional and bodily impact of chronic conditions. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we support clients in processing stress, managing emotional responses, and cultivating self-compassion, while exploring how chronic illness affects relationships and sense of self. Sessions provide a safe, supportive space to address both the psychological and somatic aspects of living with long-term health challenges. Our goal is to help you find resilience, emotional balance, and a greater sense of control and well-being, even while managing ongoing physical health challenges.

Chronic Pain
Robert M. Lee
Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic pain and illness are not just physical experiences—they affect the mind, emotions, and sense of self. My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and depth psychology to help you navigate the psychological and emotional impact of ongoing pain. We explore the mind-body connection, recognizing how stress, trauma, and unconscious patterns can shape your experience of pain. Rather than fighting your body, therapy helps you develop a compassionate, attuned relationship with it—building resilience, reducing suffering, and fostering a sense of agency in your healing process.

Chronic Pain
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.

Chronic Pain
The Cohen Clinic

When people are struggling with chronic pain/illness, this often has a negative effect on their mental health. Clinicians will work with you to manage and cope with emotions that arise as a result of this pain/illness and help you come up with adaptive coping mechanisms.

Chronic Pain
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Can chronic pain get better?
Yes! Our brain changes and adapt throughout our lifetime (i.e., this is called neuroplasticity). Habits are essentially strengthened roads or pathways when we repeatedly do or feel or think in the same way. When we continue to travel the same road or pathway, we strengthen the habit. When we form a new habit, we make new connections and old pathways are used less/weakened. The more we travel the pathway, the more our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours become second nature (e.g., like brushing teeth).
In chronic pain, the nervous system and brain have changed due to neuroplasticity in an unhelpful way. The good news is that we all have the ability to learn and change by rewiring our brain.
Join our clinicians to participate in our 10-session Mind-Body Connection program designed to teach you strategies to manage chronic pain. Meet Laura, our awesome physiotherapist who can also provide additional strategies.
Some of our coaches have:
• Helped to start one of the largest pediatric chronic pain programs at a children’s hospital in Ontario
• Currently also at hospital chronic pain clinics
• Completed dissertation projects on chronic pain and are actively involved in ongoing research
• Hold leadership positions on regional and national chronic pain committees
• Hold academic appointments at well respected universities in which they teach and supervise trainees in the field of chronic pain
