Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the delicate issue of eating disorders with empathy and understanding, offering a safe space for clients to confront and overcome their challenges. By integrating holistic strategies alongside psychotherapeutic techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I support clients in addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors contributing to their eating disorder. We work together to foster a healthier relationship with food and body image, incorporating lifestyle changes that promote overall well-being, such as balanced nutrition, mindful eating practices, and self-care routines. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim control over their eating habits, develop positive coping mechanisms, and embark on a path towards recovery and self-acceptance. For those struggling with eating disorders and seeking compassionate support, I am committed to guiding you through your journey of healing and transformation.

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.

Our identities are socially constructed so it is our relationship with our body, normalizing that relationship can clear the space for a kind and compassionate relationship with our bodies.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Food is everywhere! It taunts us, lures us, keeps us hooked with sugars and fats. It creates a satiety for a moment that feels like a big sigh or deep released breath. But it has consequences and does damage. It is the necessary that can be addictive also. It impacts health and image as well as physical feelings. It spills over into our emotional well-being too. We can't run from it and we feel victimized when we can't enjoy it like we see others doing. Any of this sound familiar? I hear you, binge eating was my go to for decades, eating was a social safety clutch and my way to dong something that even if it hurt, stopped other cravings for a short time. Our value system scattered and belief system unsure we brave each day thinking maybe today I can change. Lets chat about it

Elizabeth Koch
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RCC
When our relationship with food becomes filled with turmoil, eating becomes a burdensome ritual associated with feelings of guilt and shame. We can work both to unpack the root causations of this hardship, and to establish a relationship with food that feels comfortable and safe.
