Eating Disorders
Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Eating disorders can develop when a child lacks validation, nurture and support and when they've experienced bullying, neglect or abuse. Counselling will look to validate and build self-worth, to encourage clients to find an accountability partner, to get medical care, and possibly a treatment program specializing in eating disorders.

Eating Disorders
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy offers a compassionate and nonjudgmental space to explore the complex emotions and underlying patterns connected to eating disorders. Through creative expression, you can externalize inner conflicts, process feelings around body image, and develop a deeper connection to yourself. Art-making provides a way to express what words cannot, fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. My approach integrates mindfulness, body-based practices, and trauma-informed care to support you in reclaiming a sense of balance, agency, and a more nourishing relationship with yourself.

Eating Disorders
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Eating disorders are often more than struggles with food—they can be expressions of deeper emotional and developmental experiences. I approach these patterns as adaptive responses, where behaviors such as restriction, bingeing, or control serve a purpose in regulating distress or unmet needs. Together, we explore the underlying emotional roots, often shaped by early experiences and environments where feelings were difficult to express. Through building awareness, emotional safety, and self-compassion, the work moves beyond symptom management toward a more integrated and lasting healing.
