Eating Disorders
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Eating disorders can feel all-consuming, impacting your relationship with food, your body, and how you experience yourself. You may find yourself caught in cycles of restriction, bingeing, or feeling out of control around food, often alongside shame, guilt, or a harsh inner critic. These patterns are often rooted in past experiences, serving as protective ways of coping—even if they no longer feel helpful.
In our work together, we’ll take a trauma-informed approach, exploring your relationship with food and your body with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment. Rather than focusing on control or quick fixes, we’ll gently work with the underlying experiences and nervous system patterns shaping these behaviours, moving at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
I draw from EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your needs and readiness. When appropriate, EMDR can help process underlying experiences contributing to disordered eating, creating space for new ways of relating to yourself. Together, we’ll build practical tools while supporting deeper healing and a more compassionate, sustainable relationship with food and your body.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

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
Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Eating Disorders develop as a way of navigating deep unresolved emotional pain and trauma. All our emotions and trauma are stored in our bodies. Working with eating disorders involves not only navigating the behavioural symptoms of disordered eating but more importantly developing a compassionate relationship to the body by connecting in, to where the emotional pain is stored. Together, with compassion and understanding we work on lifting the shame connected to body image and the external ways that has been created, then facing the deeper internal emotional issues at the root. It is possible to fully heal from disordered eating.
