Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Body image, and disordered and emotional eating challenges are largely a symptom of something else. Together we will work to understand your eating patterns and behaviour, plus uncover the root causes- including challenging thoughts and feelings, behind the behaviour. Working with a therapist to address body image or emotional eating challenges can establish insights into triggering situations, longstanding beliefs about body, health or food, and how these beliefs impact the choices you make or your relationship to Self. Learn practical tools you can use to manage underlying thought patterns, and activated emotions, including use of mindfulness strategies.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Feeling self-conscious (or downright self-loathing) about one's body shape, size, or appearance is a lonely and exhausting experience. We understand that body image challenges are often pervasive and long-standing and are too often encouraged through the messages that individuals of all genders internalize about how they "should" look or show up in the world. Perhaps you can't imagine this ever changing about yourself, or are hoping only to learn how to cope in ways that allow you to feel less alone in the world. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you to tackle the underlying causes that leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. Whether you are seeking to change your body, or to accept it as it is, our therapists will work to assist you in shifting from self-loathing, worry, and loneliness into places of greater self-compassion and self-understanding, learning to live in your body more comfortably with or without modification. Book now for a free consultation to find a therapist who has the skills to help you feel and be your best.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Therapy is often an effective way to address body image concerns. In therapy, a person may explore all the factors that have contributed to a current mode of relating to self. We can work together to develop awareness of how much of our self-perception can come from negative comments by others as well as explore the impacts of societal and systemic expectations and pressures. I would like to help you identify the roots of low self-esteem and begin a healing process that focuses on building greater self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Dana Dupuis
Registered Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW, RSW
We all struggle with body image to a certain degree, this is a fact of life for most of us living in North American culture. When our negative body image becomes all consuming and troublesome, it can impact our daily life and erode our self-esteem. If this is you, I will work with you to understand the origins of your body image issues, what is maintaining it and how we can start to challenge some of those beliefs using a number of strategies.
