Chronic Pain
Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic Pain can turn your life upside down. It can make you feel helpless and alone, like you have lost everything and that your life is over. What if there was another way? What if we told you that your life may never be the same but that you could still have a full life? Would you take this chance?

Chronic Pain
Angelica Esposito - AE Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, EMDR Therapist
Living with chronic pain or illness can be overwhelming, both physically and emotionally. As someone with Type 1 diabetes, I understand the daily challenges and the impact a chronic condition can have on your life. Through therapy, I can help you navigate these challenges using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that has proven effective in helping individuals manage chronic pain and illness. ACT focuses on accepting what is out of your control while committing to actions that improve your quality of life. Together, we can work toward building a more meaningful and fulfilling life, despite the limitations of chronic illness.

Pursue You Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P
Living with chronic pain or a long-term illness can impact your mental health, daily functioning, and sense of self. At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we understand the emotional toll of managing persistent symptoms, medical uncertainty, and the changes that come with chronic conditions. Our therapists specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based support to help you build resilience, cope with challenges, and reclaim a sense of control in your life.
We provide treatment that targets:
-Health Anxiety & Medical Trauma – Fear of symptoms worsening, constant worry about health, or distress from past medical experiences.
-Pain-Related Anxiety & Depression – Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or fearful about how pain impacts your future.
-Adjustment & Identity Struggles – Grieving lost abilities, navigating career changes, or redefining self-worth beyond illness.
-Perfectionism & Productivity Guilt – Struggling with the pressure to "push through" or feeling guilty for resting.
-Isolation & Relationship Challenges – Difficulty communicating needs, feeling misunderstood, or withdrawing from social life.
-Emotional & Somatic Regulation – Learning to manage stress, frustration, and the mind-body connection in pain management.
Our therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Somatic & Nervous System Regulation, and Self-Compassion Practices to help you reframe unhelpful thought patterns, regulate emotions, and build sustainable coping strategies. Your pain or illness does not define you. Whether you are seeking validation, coping tools, or a way to reconnect with joy, we are here to support your journey toward emotional well-being and a fulfilling life.

Chronic Pain
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
What I am going to share may sound impossible to believe. But learning to compassionately hold or accept the chronic pain or illness you are living with, while developing skills to remove barriers of fear in your mind, can give you the freedom to live the life you want. How? Working together as a team, we will mindfully explore and develop skills to let go of the internal battle with the fear of pain and suffering. Letting go of the fight against ourselves changes how we think about pain and suffering; it decreases the mental focus on pain, worry and stress, releasing you from perpetuating the cycle of pain.
Perpetual Cycle of Pain = Connecting and focusing on pain and suffering leads to avoiding experiences that may create more pain and suffering. As lived experiences and social interactions get smaller because of avoidance, we become disconnected, lonely and isolated - creating additional pain and suffering.
Let's work together to empower you to drop the struggle, learn to work with yourself, and find freedom and fulfillment.

Chronic Pain
Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Living with chronic pain, chronic illness, or persistent symptoms can affect more than your body. It can change how you work, sleep, relate to others, and imagine your future. Other people may see you functioning without realizing what it costs you afterward, while you feel exhausted, isolated, or worn down by living in a body you can no longer fully trust. Therapy cannot erase the physical realities you face. It can give you a place to process what your health has changed, navigate uncertainty, strengthen your ability to cope, and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Chronic Pain
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.”

Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with an affluent, family-oriented population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighbourhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
