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.

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.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Positive body image has nothing to do with how you look, it’s about accepting your body as is, not trying to change it, not forcing it to be thinner or fitter before you can like it and treating yourself well no matter what. “You are not your body”

Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Often times, our sense of worth can be tied to our body image. This connection is fostered by our society, and often reinforced in the families and communities in which we grow up in. Learning to uncover the messages we have received about our body, noticing the ways in which we perpetuate these negative messaging, and engaging in self-compassion and self-care can help us establish a better relationship with our bodies, and move towards self-acceptance and appreciation of what our bodies can do for us. Our therapists can help you heal the past hurts that have damaged self-esteem, so you can feel better about yourself from the inside out!

Haley works with clients to improve their self-esteem, self-confidence, self-worth, and body image through various forms of treatment that improve self-awareness and self-love, while acknowledging and unpacking the various players acting on the production of self-critical thoughts and beliefs.

Forouz Salari
Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Diet culture is everywhere and affects our body image, especially for women, queer, gender-diverse and trans folks, particularly those who identify as BIPOC or live with some type of visible or invisible disability.
Let's work together to explore and improve your relationship with your body by disentangling from unrealistic, oppressive and exclusionary societal expectations, norms and body standards.
