Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that involve abnormal and disturbed eating behaviors. Common types of eating disorders include Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder. These disorders can cause serious physical and psychological consequences, including malnutrition, organ damage, and an increased risk of depression and anxiety. Eating disorders often stem from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors and can be influenced by cultural and societal pressures.
Treatment for eating disorders usually involves a combination of psychotherapy and medical intervention. Psychotherapy can help individuals understand and manage the underlying emotions and thoughts that contribute to their eating disorder and support them in developing healthy coping mechanisms. It is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional if you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, as early intervention is crucial for a successful recovery.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Disordered eating can be connected to control, anxiety, trauma, body image, shame, perfectionism, stress, or attempts to cope with overwhelming emotions. Therapy can help you understand the patterns behind food, body, and self-worth concerns while building healthier coping and self-compassion. I provide a non-shaming space to support healing and change.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
It’s easy to slip into a painful and confusing relationship with food, especially when eating starts to feel less like a choice and more like a way to cope. If you find yourself turning to food when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, or emotionally drained—and then feeling out of control around eating—you’re not alone. Binge eating and emotional eating can leave you feeling disconnected from your body, frustrated with yourself, and unsure why willpower never seems to be enough.
Binge eating often involves eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, accompanied by a strong sense of loss of control. You might feel unable to stop, even when you’re uncomfortably full, followed by guilt, shame, or self-criticism afterward. Emotional eating may look like using food to soothe difficult feelings or numb emotional discomfort, even when you’re not physically hungry. Many people experience both, often moving between periods of trying to “get back on track” and moments when eating feels chaotic or unmanageable.
These patterns usually develop over time. What may begin as dieting, food restriction, or an attempt to eat “better” can quietly increase cravings and preoccupation with food. The more rigid the rules become, the more likely it is that they eventually break—leading to episodes of overeating or binging, followed by renewed attempts to regain control. This cycle can feel exhausting and demoralizing, reinforcing the belief that something is “wrong” with you, when in reality your body and nervous system are responding to deprivation, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Binge eating and emotional eating are not about lack of discipline or failure. They are often linked to chronic stress, negative body image, unmet emotional needs, and a history of restriction or dieting. Over time, the constant mental focus on food, weight, and eating can crowd out enjoyment, self-trust, and a sense of ease in daily life.
At Laird Counselling Services, we have experience supporting individuals who feel stuck in cycles of binge eating and emotional eating. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving these patterns, rebuild trust with your body, and develop more compassionate and sustainable ways to cope with emotions and stress—without food feeling like the only option.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or unsure how to break free from this cycle, support is available. You don’t have to navigate this alone. We invite you to reach out to learn more about how counselling can help you move toward a calmer, more balanced relationship with food.

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Eating disorders are some of the most misunderstood psychological conditions there are. I have heard a significant number of my clients say that their previous therapists were incapable of addressing their issues with food. How eating disorders work, how they are experienced by the client and how they are viewed by society all need to be significantly improved. I myself suffered from non-purge bulimia and binge eating disorder for a time in my 30's, and no one around me, including my therapists, understood what it was like to suffer through these.

Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Eating disorders affect more than food or body image; they often speak to deeper pain, control, anxiety or trauma. In therapy, we work gently and collaboratively to rebuild trust with your body, repair your relationship with food and uncover what the disorder has been trying to communicate. Recovery is possible, even if it does not feel that way right now.

Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I have worked in eating disorders for over 5 years, with experience working specifically in an eating disorders program, supporting children, adolescents, and adults who have been affected by disordered eating.
Your eating disorder is here for a reason. It's up to us to figure out what that is, and how to meet your needs in a way that allows you to nourish your body, and cope with emotions and stressors that have been too difficult to manage.
Having an eating disorder can be such an isolating and exhausting thing to experience. That voice inside your head that's trying to control your relationship with food, movement, and your body gets louder and louder each day, and the emotional distress is just so strong. My work in supporting those with eating disorders focuses first and foremost, on normalizing your relationship with food, and eliminating any associated behaviours (purging, over exercising, weighing, bingeing, etc). My goal is ensuring that your body gets the nourishment it needs, so that we can do the work of talking back to that eating disorder voice, get you to a place where you can have foods you enjoy free of anxiety and guilt, and create a safe and accepting relationship with your body.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Disordered eating is often about far more than food. For many people, it can be deeply connected to ADHD, autism, trauma, sensory needs, emotional regulation, shame, control, or years of trying to cope in ways that made sense at the time.
My approach is compassionate, affirming, and focused on understanding what may be beneath the surface — not just the behaviors themselves. Together, we explore patterns around food, self-worth, nervous system needs, and coping while working to reduce shame, strengthen self-understanding, and build more supportive, sustainable ways forward.

Tisha Misquita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Does food feel like it takes up more mental space than you want it to?
You may feel caught in cycles of restriction, bingeing, food rules, or constant negotiation around eating. Even when you try to change these patterns, they can feel confusing, exhausting, or hard to let go of. Food may begin to feel like a source of control, comfort, or distress rather than nourishment.
You might notice constant thinking about food or weight, guilt or anxiety after eating, rigid rules around what or when you’re “allowed” to eat, or feeling disconnected from hunger and fullness cues. These patterns can be isolating, especially if you’ve tried to handle them on your own.
Therapy offers space to explore what these patterns have been responding to emotionally and relationally. Instead of focusing only on behaviours, we work to understand what’s underneath, so change can happen in ways that feel safer and more sustainable.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
