Chronic Pain
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Chronic pain is a challenging and often overwhelming condition that can deeply affect your life. It is characterized by persistent discomfort lasting longer than three months, even after injuries or underlying issues have healed. This pain can arise from various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathy, and it can significantly diminish your quality of life.
If you are living with chronic pain, you might find yourself facing physical limitations, emotional distress, and difficulties with daily activities. This can create a frustrating cycle that often leads to feelings of isolation.
It's important to know that you are not alone in this struggle. Managing chronic pain frequently requires a holistic approach, which may include medical treatments, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and emotional support. Finding coping strategies, like mindfulness practices and stress management techniques, can be vital in helping you regain a sense of control and improve your overall well-being. Remember, taking small steps toward management can make a big difference in your journey.

Chronic Pain
Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Chronic pain and illness affect not just the body, but the mind and emotions as well. They can show up as tension, fatigue, stress, or a sense of being disconnected from one’s body. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, helping release stored tension, improve bodily awareness, manage emotional stress, and foster a greater sense of resilience, agency, and well-being despite ongoing health challenges.

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
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.

Living with chronic pain or illness can take a toll on your mental, emotional, and relational health. I help clients explore the emotional weight of their condition, including grief, identity shifts, and the impact on daily functioning.
