Cynthia Johnston
Registered Social Worker, MEd, Counselling Psychology, BSW, RSW, RCC
If you are struggling with bulimia, or other disordered eating, you have likely promised yourself time and time again that this will be the last time that you engage in these behaviours, assuring yourself that you know what to do and that you can stop anytime. You have managed a few days, weeks or months symptom-free, but the behaviours have always returned. Although it may be difficult to imagine getting through life's ups and downs without your disordered eating, I can help you to develop new ways of coping and to achieve lasting recovery. And you will set the pace of your recovery.
My approach is to work in a respectful and inclusive manner, helping to facilitate change when you're ready. I firmly believe that you have your eating disorder for very good reasons, and that with education, treatment and learning new ways of coping, you can recover as have so many of my clients.
I am told that my approach helps to inspire hope and motivation, as well as to reduce the stigma and shame of seeking help. Therapy is individualized, drawing upon my many years of experience treating bulimia and other eating disorders.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Eating disorders unveils a poignant narrative of disordered eating as a coping mechanism rooted in early relational patterns and past traumas. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and emotional neglect, individuals may turn to food or restrictive behaviours to numb the pain or regain a sense of control. Like a silent scream, the cycle of disordered eating echoes the unmet emotional needs and the scars of past hurts, manifesting as a distorted relationship with food and body image. Therapy offers a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the complexities of attachment dynamics and process the underlying trauma. By nurturing compassionate connections and addressing the root causes of distress, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of their eating disorder, reclaiming agency over their bodies and rediscovering a sense of self-worth and nourishment beyond the plate.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy for individuals struggling with eating disorders. Eating disorders can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health, but with the right support, recovery is possible.
In our sessions, I create a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can explore the underlying factors contributing to your eating disorder. Together, we'll work to understand your relationship with food, address distorted beliefs and thoughts, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
My approach to treating eating disorders is holistic, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying emotional and psychological factors. I use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to help you develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.
Recovery from an eating disorder is a journey, but you don't have to travel it alone. I'm here to provide you with the support, guidance, and tools you need to overcome your eating disorder and live a life free from its grip. If you're ready to take the first step towards recovery, I'm here to help you every step of the way.
