Living with chronic illness is tough
It can leave you feeling alone, misunderstood, and guilt-ridden for being unable to do the things you used to.
You can feel stuck. Life starts to get small. You feel caught in a medical system that is broken, underserviced and lacks empathy. Symptom flare-ups can be unpredictable, impacting relationships, limiting the pursuit of hobbies and causing difficulties for you at work and home.
Having an illness does not mean you are broken. We are here to help you get unstuck, move forward and regain a sense of authorship over your life.
You just need the right tools and support to grieve, readjust, and reframe your expectations of yourself. You can rebuild a life that is worth living.

Our Approach to Calgary Chronic Illness Counselling
At Prairieview Psychology, we know that you want to live a purposeful and valuable life; we also know that it’s hard to envision what that could look like right now. You don’t have to do this without professional support.
Beyond the physical challenges and symptoms, chronic illness also impacts your ability to cope, your identity, and relationships. The unpredictability of the illness can leave you feeling frustrated, anxious, or depressed.
If this sounds familiar, we are here to help you; nobody should have to navigate chronic illness alone. We recognize your experience with chronic illness is unique, and so is our treatment approach.
At your initial session, we will work together to understand your goals for therapy, and create a plan to build skills to help you cope, communicate, and reframe your experiences with chronic illness. We adopt a holistic approach to address the complex interplay between physical and mental health.
We see you, the person, not your illness. Things don’t need to feel dark and uncertain forever.
Reach out to us today so that you can stop wondering if life will get better.
