Struggling with body image can affect self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental health. I specialize in body image therapy, helping individuals challenge negative self-perceptions and develop a healthier, more positive relationship with their bodies. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I guide clients in identifying the root causes of body image issues, such as societal pressures, past trauma, and negative thought patterns. Together, we’ll work on fostering self-compassion, building body confidence, and creating lasting change to improve your mental and emotional well-being.

Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
So much of our struggles with how we look are rooted in our sense of self-worth. Different from self-esteem, self-worth comes from knowing we are loveable simply because we exist; not by how we look or how well we perform in life. We are loveable and perfect because we breath. Through Somatic Psychotherapy we can begin to feel into the body's inner knowledge of our innate beauty, allowing ourselves to struggle less with a body image that is so externally defined. We begin to cultivate an inner knowing of our true innate beauty unaffected by external sources. A true sense of self-love and acceptance.

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'.
