Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You're not just one self—you're made up of different parts, each carrying its own pain, protection strategies, and wisdom. Through Internal Family Systems therapy, my primary therapeutic approach, you'll learn to understand the inner voices that criticize, the parts that freeze or flee, the protectors that push people away. With extensive training and years of experience in IFS, I'll guide you to befriend rather than fight these parts, understand what each is trying to protect you from, and help them heal. When your inner system finds harmony, external life transforms. You'll move from inner conflict to inner collaboration, from fragmentation to wholeness. You will be accepted and not judged.

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.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you’re yearning to shift your relationship with food and feel more in tune and loving towards your body, I’m here to support you. Having gone through my own healing journey, I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out. I approach body image and disordered eating from a holistic perspective– combining therapeutic techniques that involve the mind, body and soul. Eating disorders are a coping strategy, and I help support clients get curious and heal from the underlying pain they are trying to protect themselves from.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are struggling with an eating disorder, food and your body may feel like a constant battle. You might find yourself restricting, bingeing, purging, or obsessing over weight, shape, or control. What may appear to others as discipline or preference can feel internally like anxiety, shame, or a loss of control. Eating disorders are not about vanity. They are often rooted in deeper pain, trauma, perfectionism, or a need for safety and stability.
At Selah Counselling, we approach eating disorders with compassion, structure, and clinical care. We understand the complexity of these patterns and the courage it takes to seek help. Our work focuses on restoring a regulated relationship with food and your body, addressing underlying emotional triggers, and strengthening identity beyond appearance or performance. When appropriate, we collaborate with medical professionals and dietitians to support your overall health. The goal is not simply behaviour change, but healing that allows you to experience nourishment, steadiness, and freedom in a sustainable way.
