Eating Disorders
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Admitting that an eating disorder has developed is a very brave and courageous step. By engaging in this first step you are already beginning your recovery process. Many individuals are in denial about their eating disorder and only acknowledge their problematic behaviours once their health is severely impacted. Since the behaviours of an eating disorder are unique across individuals, the treatment plan too, is unique.
In therapy, we largely explore the meaning that you give to the eating disorder, how you developed your relationship with food, and the purpose that the eating disorder served in your life. Once you gain a deeper understanding of the cause of the eating disorder, my hope is that you view yourself through a nonjudgmental lens, which is a crucial step in the healing process.
In order to help you overcome the eating disorder, I also use a variety of therapy models, such as narrative therapy in order to separate the disorder from the person. Once you perceive the issue as separate from the self, you are more likely to activate your self-healing capacities, which is important for experiencing change and growth. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for challenging some of the thoughts that you may have about food. Once you gain insight into your personalized history of the eating disorder, as well as the resources that you have for overcoming dysfunctional eating patterns, you move further into your journey to recovery.

Eating Disorders
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we take a non-pathologizing approach to disordered eating, recognizing that the problem is not a fixed part of who someone is, but an experience that happens in a person's life and one that is treatable with the right support. We understand that disordered eating is rooted in a complex interweaving of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, and our therapists are trained to explore all three dimensions rather than focusing narrowly on behaviour or weight alone. As one of the only group psychotherapy practices in Vancouver with direct connections to dieticians and other allied health professionals, we are uniquely positioned to offer the multidisciplinary, collaborative care that meaningful and lasting recovery from disordered eating requires.

Eating Disorders
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
It is widely accepted that weight loss, eating disorders, and anxiety are all issues that hypnosis is successful at dealing with. All have their root in emotional issues and the habitual way people see themselves and their lives. Research shows that most people who are grossly overweight have suffered some trauma in their lives leading them to holding on to excess weight and no amount of dieting will permanently change that without resolving those past traumas and changing habits and relationship with food. I see many such clients in my practice and we are able to find them healing and moving on to healthier lifestyle.
8 Years Experience
Online in Abbotsford, BC British Columbia
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.
