Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
Body image is still a massively understated issue in our society, for both women and men. Our culture privileges certain body types over others everywhere we look, to the point where body shame is ingrained in us from every direction. Hollywood, social media, and Photoshop have created unattainable ideals and told us we are doing something wrong by not attaining them. Our therapy will explore what "ideal" body image means to you, the implicit beliefs about appearance you may hold, as well as your relationship to your own body and health, all in a non-judgmental environment.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with body image issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Vilma Madramootoo
Registered Psychotherapist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Certified Health, Wellness and Life Coach
"Beauty is not a single image, but the active embodiment and celebration of the Self!" Body Image is how we see ourselves and relate to our appearances. The techniques I offer will help you to develop Self-Love, Self-Worth, Self-Care, and uncover your inner and outer strength to identify with your beautiful and unique body image. We rewind to the core issues of when and how it started then explore ways to turn your insecurities and perceptions into feelings of appreciation, celebration, acceptance, and knowing, 'You are beautiful and enough'.

Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
