Chronic Pain
Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Many of my clients have or are experiencing chronic pain or illness, and I've learned much from my own experiences as well. I know that pain and illness is experienced differently by everyone and can intersect with our life, relationships, and identities in complex ways. It might bring up deep existential anxieties about life and death or trigger past traumas where you felt unsafe or uncared for. You might be navigating ableism—systemic barriers, medical trauma, or a lack of understanding from those around you. Maybe the pain or illness is an embraced part of you, or teaching you something you'd like to process together. Or perhaps you need to someone to see the anguish you're in and really be with you in this pain, grief, frustration, or scary uncertainty. Whatever you bring, I'll be attentive and present to what pain and illness means for you specifically.

Therapedia Centre
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
At Therapedia Centre, we offer psychotherapy and art therapy for individuals living with chronic pain and illnesses in Toronto, North York, East York, and Yorkville. Our therapists understand the emotional and physical toll of long-term health conditions and provide a compassionate space to process frustration, fear, and fatigue. Through Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Art Therapy, clients learn to manage pain perception, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. Creative expression helps reconnect mind and body, offering relief, meaning, and empowerment beyond the medical experience. Our goal is to help clients improve quality of life, regain a sense of control, and find balance while living with chronic conditions.

Chronic Pain
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Living with chronic pain or illness fundamentally changes your relationship with your environment, a reality compounded by a medical system that frequently dismisses marginalised or complex identities. I offer a slow, gentle online space in Vancouver to process the complex emotional grief, nervous system exhaustion, and isolation that physical suffering brings. Together, we will use somatic tracking to listen to your body's messages with kindness, moving toward a collaborative and compassionate relationship with your physical self.

Chronic Pain
Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I have many years of Oncology experience which has given me in-depth knowledge in a patient's journey through cancer. Cancer not only affects an individual but it affects their family and a wide circle of caregivers. Finding the right support in this challenging time can be beneficial for the individual's mental, emotional as well as physical health whether you are dealing with cancer or are a caregiver for someone going through cancer.

Chronic Pain
Mollie Pfendt
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
· Welcoming Ontario-based Clients for Online Work ·
I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can slow down, feel into your experience, and reconnect with yourself.
Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting, isolating, and often misunderstood. In our work together, we’ll gently bring awareness to your lived experience, attending to your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations with care and curiosity.
My approach is holistic and embodied, recognizing that pain is not only physical but also emotional, relational, and shaped by the ways we learn to cope and survive. Together, we’ll explore how you are meeting your pain and illness, making space for what is present while supporting your capacity for self-understanding, regulation, and choice.
If my approach resonates, I'd love for you to visit my website (molliepfendt.ca) to learn more or reach out to schedule a consultation call.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Living with chronic pain or illness changes not just your body, but your sense of who you are and what you can count on. I work with clients navigating grief, identity shifts, medical trauma, and the relational weight of being ill in a world that prefers you to get better quickly. Therapy here isn't about acceptance as a destination. It's about having somewhere honest to put all of it.

Chronic Pain
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Chronic pain and illness often reflect unresolved emotional trauma, where repressed emotions and chronic stress can rewire the nervous system. In my approach, we explore the root of the pain to identify the emotions that have not been fully expressed or processed. By focusing on the whole person, not just the symptoms, we work on cultivating self-compassion, emotional awareness, and reconnecting the mind and body.
