Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Has worry about your appearance taken over your thoughts and life? Does it feel hard to have a stable sense of self-worth that does not depend on what you look like? I use evidence-based strategies to help you build awareness of what's keeping you stuck fixating on your appearance, renegotiate your relationship with your body and lead a life that fulfills you in the long-term. I integrate elements from cognitive therapy for eating disorders (CBT-E), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and narrative therapy.

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.

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.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Often negative body image and body dysmorphia are rooted in deeper, unresolved concerns such as trauma and/or neurodivergence. Unfortunately, the body often becomes a convenient "punching bag" when we lack the ability to regulate our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour; for some, the body is viewed as something we can control in lieu of having control in other areas of life. In session, we can explore the root cause of your anxiety or shame and work towards improved self-esteem and body neutrality, if not body acceptance. My approach is anti-diet culture and informed by years of research on fat-phobia.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
If you find yourself struggling with how you feel about your body, you are not alone. Body dissatisfaction can be incredibly challenging, impacting how you see yourself and how you interact with the world around you. It can affect your self-esteem, self-confidence, and even influence your social life - sometimes leading to avoiding social situations because you are concerned about your appearance. While it was once thought that only certain groups of people experienced these feelings, we now understand that body image concerns can affect individuals of all ages and genders.
You might be experiencing body image preoccupation if you are constantly aware of your body in a negative way, frequently compare your appearance to others, spend a significant amount of time trying to find clothes that you feel comfortable in, often weigh yourself or check your body in the mirror, or find yourself withdrawing from social activities. These are all signs of the distress and worry that can come with negative body image.
Fortunately, there are effective ways to address and improve your relationship with your body. At our practice, we utilize approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy, which have been shown to be helpful in reconstructing body image. Our approach is inclusive and trauma-informed, meaning we recognize that everyone's experience is unique and that past experiences can play a significant role in how you feel about your body. We firmly believe that every body is perfect in its own way, and we are here to help you identify and challenge the negative thoughts that contribute to body dissatisfaction.
If body image preoccupation has been a long-standing struggle for you, we encourage you to take the first step towards a more positive relationship with your body. We offer a free consultation where we can discuss your specific concerns and explore how our services can support you. Please reach out to schedule a time to talk; we would be glad to help.

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."

Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Perceptions of one’s physical self is a very personal and individual experience. Sometimes we focus so intently on the image we see when we look in the mirror that we can forget all of the positive qualities we possess. We can start to devalue ourselves and place all of our worth on our physical appearance. When working with clients who are struggling with body image, I will ask them to focus on other qualities, abilities and strengths they possess separate from their physical self. Starting to see ourselves in a more balanced way can increase positive self-image. We will also try to determine where the negative thoughts and messages come from and use CBT to reframe those thoughts in a more self-accepting light. Please book a free consultation if this sounds like it may be helpful for you.

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.
