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
Tamika Schilbe Cole
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, CECP
Chronic pain and chronic illness can greatly impact our ability to keep a light heart and positive attitude. Another difficult aspect of chronic illness is feeling misunderstood by those who don't know what it's like to be in your body. But there is hope. Not only can you find ways to cope, but many people also find ways to thrive despite their challenging circumstances. If you are struggling with chronic pain or illness, know that it is not your fault.

Chronic Pain
Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Living with chronic pain or illness means grieving the life you planned while building one your body can hold, often while feeling dismissed or unseen. The frustration, the isolation, the identity questions that come with a changed body: these deserve real attention, not just symptom checklists. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to process what illness has changed, work with the anxiety and low mood that often travel with it, and reconnect with what still brings you meaning. The goal isn't just to endure, it's to genuinely understand your relationship with your body, build habits that nourish rather than deplete you, and find fulfillment within your reality. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more at peace with your body, and more equipped for the life in front of you.

Chronic Pain
Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living with chronic illness or pain can be isolating and exhausting, especially when others don’t fully understand what it’s like. You may feel grief for the life you had, fear about the future, or frustration with your body. In therapy, we’ll explore the emotional impact of your health challenges and help you cultivate self-compassion and resilience as you adjust to a new rhythm of living. Together, we’ll also look at how to set realistic expectations for yourself — ones that honour your energy, capacity, and needs. This is a space to be honest about what’s hard and to discover strength, gentleness, and meaning in the midst of it.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
