Joel Mayer
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv
By learning ways to make space for the difficult emotions, thoughts, and sensations that come with chronic pain or illness, we can learn to be more mindful compassionate towards ourselves rather than fight so much against what is the reality of this moment. With compassion and an understanding that progress has to be made at your pace, I look forward to working with you to help you pursue meaning and fulfillment amidst chronic pain and illness.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Many of my clients have or are experiencing chronic pain or illness, and I've learned much from my own experiences as well. I know that pain and illness is experienced differently by everyone and can intersect with our life, relationships, and identities in complex ways. It might bring up deep existential anxieties about life and death or trigger past traumas where you felt unsafe or uncared for. You might be navigating ableism—systemic barriers, medical trauma, or a lack of understanding from those around you. Maybe the pain or illness is an embraced part of you, or teaching you something you'd like to process together. Or perhaps you need to someone to see the anguish you're in and really be with you in this pain, grief, frustration, or scary uncertainty. Whatever you bring, I'll be attentive and present to what pain and illness means for you specifically.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Chronic pain or illness impacts far more than just the body. It can affect identity, energy, mood, relationships, self-worth, work, and the exhausting reality of trying to function when your body or nervous system feels unpredictable.
I understand that chronic pain and illness are not just physical experiences — they often come with grief, burnout, trauma, frustration, and the pressure of trying to keep up in ways that may no longer work.
My approach is compassionate, realistic, and practical. Together, we work on reducing shame, supporting your nervous system, processing the emotional weight of what you’re carrying, strengthening self-advocacy, and building a life that honors your needs while still making space for meaning, joy, and possibility.

Mind Path Therapy
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Chronic pain or illness is mood-altering and is a frequent barrier that comes between sufferers and many parts of their lives. If this is something you live with, you've probably experienced too many occasions when important parts of your life were put on hold, and your attention becomes narrowed and dominated by painful sensations. When life becomes dominated by pain, the natural way to respond is by bracing mentally and physically. I've helped many clients with debilitating and chronic pain symptoms find a more flexible way of living with their symptoms. Using an integrative approach of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and principles of self-compassion, you can learn to grow a more open, accepting, and mindful posture, one that shifts attention from the pain you're experiencing to the things and activities you care about.
