Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect your mood, identity, relationships, sleep, and sense of control. Therapy can offer support for the emotional weight of ongoing health challenges while helping you develop self-compassion, pacing, acceptance, and coping strategies. My goal is not to minimize what you are going through, but to help you live with more steadiness and care.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
My approach is to meet you where you are as you navigate the difficult and challenging journey of living with chronic pain and illness, and to work with the ways in which physical, psychological and emotional pain intersect and impact your daily life. We will work together to find ways to reduce suffering and create accommodations that allow you to build resiliency and continue living your life, even while facing difficult circumstances.

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.

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.
