Emily Hiram
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I offer a weight-inclusive, Health-at-every-size approach to helping you build a better relationship with food and your body. A big part of my work is helping people understand their relationship with food and their body, rather than trying to control or ‘fix’ eating behaviours. We often look at how early experiences, messages about bodies, and past relationships have shaped the way food and self-criticism show up now.
As your relationship with your body shifts, people often notice changes in day-to-day life — like less food noise, fewer all-or-nothing swings around eating, and more ability to respond to emotions without immediately turning on themselves or their body. The goal isn’t perfection, but a calmer, more compassionate relationship with your body and with yourself

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
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.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Body image struggles aren’t vanity—they’re often tied to safety, control, worth, and identity. We’ll work on reducing body-checking, comparison, shame, and food-or-body obsession while strengthening self-compassion and realistic, respectful body care. The aim is to feel more at home in your body, not at war with it.

Veronica Lowe
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, CCC
Rather than aiming for "body positivity" immediately—which can sometimes feel out of reach—I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to move toward body neutrality. I help clients use mindfulness to observe critical thoughts without being defined by them and employs self-compassion to quiet the inner critic. By identifying personal values that exist outside of physical appearance, my goal is to empower my clients to treat their bodies with respect and care, reclaiming their energy for the things in life that truly bring them fulfillment.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The relationship we hold with our body is deeply personal and can be challenging at times. When working with body image, it may be helpful to explore how external systems and socio-cultural narratives flood our perceptions about ourselves and our bodies. We can work to deconstruct these ideas that are no longer serving you and reach a place of healing where true love and respect for your body becomes a reality. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

Caitlin Marchand
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It can be really difficult to have a great relationship with your body when we constantly receive messages from our families, society, and the media about how we are "supposed" to look. Not liking the way you look can negatively impact your daily life as well as your self-esteem. I am curious about the things you like about your body, and work collaboratively with clients to explore and challenge narratives of how bodies "should" look, while highlighting ways to invite more self-love and self-compassion into your life. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
I have borrowed Andrew Seuber's approach to working with a negative body image, that is from the inside out.
He suggests that "The negative image is understood as a dissociated and shame-based “part” of the personality in need of understanding and compassion, achieved via mindful awareness, “parts” dialogue and trauma processing.
The first step is to create healthy separation between the "observing" or aware Self and the part(s) absorbed in the eating disorder via mindful awareness.
Once this separation between the "whole" self and part of self is established, the Gestalt polarity tradition (empty chairs) is utilized to develop understanding of the shame-based part.
Understanding leads to compassion for the eating disordered part from a non-enmeshed state of consciousness, aka the aware self, the experiencing self, the observing self.
Healing of the eating disordered part occurs when that part no longer feels exiled as a "not-I" and is assisted in processing the traumatic roots of the disorder."

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
We are all accosted on a daily basis by marketing, media, and social expectations of what our bodies "should" look like and be able to do. I work with clients to assess where there expectations of their bodies are coming from - including factors that are society like I've mentioned above, and factors that are personal such as family, belief systems, and other experiences that have shaped us. This then allows us to work together to shift perspectives and habits that allow us to instead love our bodies and treat them with respect and care.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Everyone's relationship to their body is uniquely complex. As a Relational Therapist, I'll be curious to understand your personal relationship to your body and what it means to you. This is often shaped by how others have related to our bodies—what is accepted, celebrated, and loved versus judged, devalued, or misunderstood. We're shaped by the ways we've been treated in close relationships, in everyday interactions, and in greater society. Our identities and experiences around things like race, gender, dis/ability, size, and sexuality can all be relevant. Your feelings and practices around your body might also be a way to cope with other anxieties and harms experienced. Together we'll try to understand what's happening for you and explore how you'd like to shift the way you see yourself.

Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing Toronto suburb in York Region with a majority Chinese population in many of its newer residential developments, alongside significant South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, creating strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Farsi-speaking therapists who can work within East Asian and Iranian cultural frameworks. The city's affluent suburban character and proximity to Toronto's tech and finance economy create a population with both the means and motivation to seek therapy, though help-seeking stigma in some East Asian and Middle Eastern communities remains a consideration. Mackenzie Health provides institutional mental health resources, with many residents also accessing the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem. Richmond Hill's fast growth and relatively new development mean community ties can be shallow, and therapists frequently address social isolation and the challenge of belonging in a transient suburban environment.
