Chronic Pain
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than your physical health. It can influence your emotions, relationships, sense of safety, and ability to participate in the life you want.
You may find yourself anticipating pain, worrying about your body, or avoiding activities because of fear of making things worse. Over time, life can become smaller as pain, fear, frustration, grief, and uncertainty begin to shape your choices.
EMDR therapy can be a valuable part of this work, particularly when pain or illness is connected with trauma, distressing medical experiences, injury, or heightened fear and emotional responses. As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I can help you process these experiences and reduce the distress associated with them. EMDR does not eliminate physical pain or suggest that pain is “all in your head”—the focus is on changing your relationship with the experiences and responses surrounding it.
Together, we’ll also draw on ACT and mindfulness-based approaches to develop greater flexibility and self-compassion, reduce avoidance, and make room for the people, activities, and experiences that matter to you.
You may not be able to choose what your body is experiencing, but you can develop greater freedom in how you respond—and create more space for a meaningful life alongside it.

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.

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?

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.
