Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Living with a chronic illness (such as PCOS, endometriosis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, Lupus, etc.) or chronic pain (resulting from a chronic illness, injury or trauma) can radically change your mental, emotional and physical capacity to engage in your life, including your work / studies, relationships, hobbies, interests and self-care activities. Living with these types of invisible disabilities means that others struggle to understand, empathize with, and extend grace and compassion towards you. They either do not know about, do not think about, cannot imagine, or refuse to offer you the types of accommodations that would support you to show up, engage and contribute to the best of your abilities. This can make you feel further misunderstood, isolated and marginalized, and reduce your access to resources and opportunities for care and growth.
Let's work together to:
Practice self-acceptance and self-compassion.
Learn effective ways of managing your stress to reduce the intensity of the symptoms of chronic illness and chronic pain.
Clarify your unique needs and boundaries.
Create doable plans to feel more balanced, well, fulfilled and engaged in your work / studies, relationships, and personal life.
Learn about and self-advocate for academic & workplace accommodations that can set you up for success.

Brenda Cohen
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, PsyDipl
When we face things we cannot change, it can be immobilizing. Chronic illness often leads us into an existential crises, where we question our worth, purpose, and the meaning of our life. The constant presence of pain or disability may make us feel like life has been stolen from us and that all we have are limitations and struggles. My existential therapeutic approach follows Viktor Frankl's (Man Search for Meaning) premise that one can find meaning even in suffering. We don't choose what we go through, we choose how we go through it. Together let us explore your resilience in the face of painful realities.

My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic awareness, and depth psychology to help you navigate the psychological and emotional impact of ongoing pain. We explore the mind-body connection, recognizing how stress, trauma, and unconscious patterns can shape your experience of pain. Rather than fighting your body, therapy helps you develop a compassionate, attuned relationship with it—building resilience, reducing suffering, and fostering a sense of agency in your healing process.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Tracey Nguyen
Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
The psychology of chronic illness involves feeling helpless, victimized and powerless in our relationships. It involves people pleasing and being very dependent or living at the mercy of others. Healing chronic illness is centres around healing the control and power struggle in the relationships in childhood, specifically with a parent who had anger issues where you feared and lived your childhood tip toeing around their emotional tempers. This has perhaps translated into your adult life where you control others, get angry at others often, put others on a pedastol and feel powerless in some areas of your life. Healing your fears of feeling attacked and balancing the power in your relationships and releasing control are key to healing chronic illness.

Mariya Garnet
Pre-Licensed Professional, Pre-licensed Psychotherapist
In addressing chronic pain and illness, I employ integral neuroprogramming to facilitate a deeper understanding of the body's communication. This approach recognizes that persistent health challenges often reflect subconscious patterns and misalignments in one's life course.
My practice focuses on:
Exploring the intricate mind-body connection
Identifying subconscious patterns influencing physical symptoms
Developing techniques to reframe perspectives on pain and illness
Guiding clients towards alignment with their authentic selves
Through integral neuroprogramming, we work to recalibrate neural pathways associated with chronic conditions while addressing emotional and spiritual components. This comprehensive method aims to not only manage symptoms but to promote overall well-being.
This approach is applicable to various chronic conditions, including fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorders. The goal is to empower clients to interpret their body's signals and make informed, transformative life choices.
