Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Body Image issues often go hand-in-hand with eating disorders and obesity and weight issues. People can judge their body harshly or have a negative relationship with it. Body image issues are often one of the latter topics that get discussed in therapy, because they are often so personal, and in some cases they may even be unknown to the client. There are a significant number of ways to address body image issues, but one that always is effective somewhat is to say to clients "Your body doesn't have a mouth. If it did, what would it say, and how would it say it?" Putting these words to one's body is a great and refreshing start to dealing with these important issues.

Lauren Jin Yong Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable to share your concerns. Body-image concerns and body-dysmorphia can be distressing and you're not alone. Your needs are important to me and in therapy, we can explore those concerns, better understand the influences that have played a role in your experiences, and work to take your power back from distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors using strategies that genuinely resonate with you.

Nisrine Maktabi
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Psychology
So many messages tell us how our bodies and faces should look to be accepted, valued, validated, and fit in. In fact our bodies and faces are beautiful and work so hard to help us function and experience the world. Together we will discover the messages received that have lead to feeling disconnected from your true self, and reclaim it and honour it.

Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
How you perceive and feel about yourself is a key indicator of how happy and emotionally stable you are. You may be feeling insecure, critical, helpless, incompetent or unlovable. I work with clients to explore the root of these beliefs and challenge them. This allows my clients to unlearn thoughts and beliefs that are harmful and limiting while learning to genuinely love and appreciate themselves and the value that they bring to the world. I would love to hear from you to determine if I can help you re-imagine how you see yourself. Reach out to book a free consultation.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The way we think and feel about our body can impact our sense of confidence and self-worth. It can feel almost impossible to improve our body image, especially if we are often faced with others’ expectations. Therapy can provide a supportive space where we can begin to explore the factors that influence our body image and ways to move towards self-acceptance and kindness. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The relationship we hold with our body is deeply personal and can be challenging at times. When working with body image, it may be helpful to explore how external systems and socio-cultural narratives flood our perceptions about ourselves and our bodies. We can work to deconstruct these ideas that are no longer serving you and reach a place of healing where true love and respect for your body becomes a reality. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.
