Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
My approach to body image work is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in curiosity rather than criticism. I help clients explore how their relationship with their body has been shaped by early experiences, cultural messaging, attachment patterns, and life transitions. Rather than focusing on fixing appearance, we focus on healing the relationship with the body — increasing self-trust, reducing shame, and cultivating respect for the body as it is. I integrate evidence-based practices with nervous system awareness and self-compassion to support clients in moving from self-judgment toward embodiment, resilience, and acceptance.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Whether you struggle with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or compulsive behaviors like over-exercising, these patterns aren't really about food or your body—they're about control, pain, worth, and survival. In our work together, you'll find acceptance without pressure, safety without judgment. We'll gently explore what lies beneath the behaviors: the fears, the trauma, the relentless comparisons. You'll learn to regulate your emotions without using your body as the battleground, challenge the distorted beliefs that drive the cycles, and rebuild a relationship with yourself based on compassion rather than criticism. Healing your body image means healing what lies beneath.

Monarch Psychology
Psychologist, R Psych, RSW
Free matching calls available to help match you with the best therapist for your unique needs. Many people struggle with how they see or feel about their bodies. These concerns don’t happen in a vacuum—they’re shaped by culture, past experiences, relationships, and the messages we absorb about appearance and worth. In counselling, body image struggles are approached with curiosity and compassion, not judgment.
Together, we explore the beliefs, pressures, and life experiences that may have shaped your relationship with your body. We also focus on the strengths and values that already exist in your life, helping you build a more flexible and supportive way of relating to yourself.
The goal isn’t to force body positivity or ignore difficult feelings. Instead, counselling can help you reduce the hold that body criticism and comparison have on your life, reconnect with what your body allows you to do, and create more space for self-respect, comfort, and wellbeing.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
