Chronic Pain or Illness
Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Having a chronic or progressive illness can create such distress in us. Knowing that our body might not function as it should and not knowing a timeline regarding a decline, can bring up feelings of sadness, frustration, grief, anxiety and shame. It can be hard to tolerate all the uncertainty related to this. Our therapists can give you a safe place to share about your feelings and thoughts about your struggles, and provide you with a space to grieve, as well as learn to manage the discomfort, and create new meaning and purpose amongst the suffering.

Julie Willsie
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc, MACP; Registered Psychotherapist
I have worked for over 25 years with clients injured in life-altering motor vehicle accidents. The chronic pain associated with traumatic injury or illness can affect our relationships, family dynamics, ability to maintain work, increase financial stress and reduce our abilities to function in society. My focus is to learn your goals and interests, to try to find ways to cope and move forward for a more productive and satisfying life again.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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.
