Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with body image can feel like a constant battle, one that’s often invisible to others, but deeply painful for you. Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk, comparing yourself to others, or feeling disconnected from your body altogether. You’re tired of letting your self-worth be dictated by how you look, but you don’t know how to feel differently.
In therapy, we create a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your relationship with your body, unpack where these beliefs came from, and start building a new way of relating to yourself, one rooted in compassion, not criticism. We’re not here to fix your body. We’re here to help you heal how you see and feel about it.
You deserve to feel at home in your body, just as you are.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The way we think and feel about our body can impact our sense of confidence and self-worth. It can feel almost impossible to improve our body image, especially if we are often faced with others’ expectations. Therapy can provide a supportive space where we can begin to explore the factors that influence our body image and ways to move towards self-acceptance and kindness. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

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."

Alisha Levine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
It can be exhausting to feel like you’re constantly thinking about your body. Thoughts about how you look, how you’re perceived, or whether you’re “enough” can take up so much space and time. Maybe you find yourself comparing, criticizing, checking, hiding, or feeling disconnected from your body altogether. Therapy can be a space to gently unpack where these thoughts and expectations come from, including the messages you’ve received from family, culture, relationships, and the world around you. Together, we can work toward a more compassionate relationship with your body and yourself, so that your life can feel less focused on appearance and more connected to what truly matters to you.

Sara Tawadros
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div in Clinical Counselling
Body Image is our feelings and thoughts regarding how we look. A healthy or unhealthy body image is independent of how one actually looks. It’s often affected by media, culture, upbringing and social circles.
I work with my clients on understanding the reasons behind having an unhealthy self-image while gaining awareness on what a healthy body image looks like and working towards acquiring a healthier perspective.

Leigh Berry
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.

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.

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.
