Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It is my belief that in the modern day and age, it is nearly impossible to not feel down about one’s self and one’s body image. We are constantly bombarded with unrealistic images and ideals that can impact our sense of self-worth. My approach to working with clients who may be experiencing decreased self-worth due to body image is to emphasize self-love and self-compassion by bringing awareness to the ways in which our bodies help us every day. I also draw on other aspects of one’s life, outside of physical appearance, where meaning and fulfillment can be derived. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

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

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.

Most importantly, we are going to explore the key factors that influence your thoughts and self-perception. This is a safe place to practice self-love and acceptance.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you have a part of you that consistently checks if you're acceptable in the eyes of others? Learning what this part of you is trying to do for you can often support this part of you to ease up with it's hold on you. There is often a benefit of the IFS (internal family systems) approach for healing from the profound impact of body image and self-esteem issues.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Positive body image has nothing to do with how you look, it’s about accepting your body as is, not trying to change it, not forcing it to be thinner or fitter before you can like it and treating yourself well no matter what. “You are not your body”
