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.

Aelea Syed
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
A lot of us are hyper-critical of our bodies and the way we look, this can impact our self-esteem and the way we look at ourselves. The messages we get from society and the pop culture can really make it hard to be self-accepting. I work from a compassion-focused lens to encourage self-acceptance and practice self compassion to establish a better relationship with our bodies. Contact me today to book a free consultation.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
Being body-positive and self-accepting in a world that is not can be highly challenging. Conversely, accepting ourselves in a world that tells us not to is a radical act. We may explore the standards we have for ourselves (which is often different than the standards we have for others), the perceptions/beliefs we have about ourselves or our bodies, and our hope for how we want to begin relating to ourselves. I support people to develop awareness of the narratives they have attached to their body and forge a path to self-acceptance.

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!
If you want to start feeling better about yourself, book a consultation or session today! www.kaleidoscopecounsellingco.com

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
We are constantly exposed to messages about the way our bodies “should” look, which inevitably impacts how we feel and perceive ourselves. Trying to live up to others’ expectations is exhausting as is living in the shadow of shame, fear, and criticism. Within therapy, I will work with you to identify the messages and expectations that do not serve you and I will support you in discovering ways to resist their influence. I will also provide you with a safe space in which we can explore how you can build a relationship with your body that is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and respect toward the uniqueness that you hold. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

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.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we provide specialized care for individuals navigating body image challenges, particularly in the context of gender dysphoria and the struggle for alignment between one’s internal identity and external appearance. Our therapeutic focus centers on somatic and relational approaches, tailored to address the complexities of body congruency and self-acceptance in the face of gender identity struggles.
Through somatic therapy techniques, we guide clients in exploring the ways in which their body-related distress manifests physically and emotionally. By fostering a deep connection between mind and body, our therapists help individuals process and integrate their experiences, promoting a sense of unity and empowerment within themselves.
Our relational approach emphasizes building a secure and empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports individuals through their journey of self-discovery and body acceptance. We create a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences related to body image, gender identity, and self-expression without fear of judgment.
By integrating somatic and relational modalities, we aim to assist clients in cultivating a more harmonious relationship with their bodies and gender identity. Through this holistic and affirming approach, individuals can work towards embracing their authentic selves, fostering self-compassion, and nurturing a positive body image that aligns with their true identity. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can embark on a transformative journey towards self-acceptance, authenticity, and inner peace.

Stacy Kirkbride - Turnpage Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
I believe the path to healing body image issues involves understanding the root of how our current relationship with our bodies developed, as well as setting a new foundation based in a new narrative about our bodies that is firmly planted in acceptance and values-based self-knowledge, self-care, enhanced self-esteem, and loving kindness.
