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.

Feel Your Way Therapy
Treatment Center, MA, RP
Struggling with an eating disorder can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Feel Your Way Therapy, we offer compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals navigating concerns such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and disordered eating patterns.
We understand that eating disorders are often about much more than food — they are deeply tied to emotions, self-worth, and coping with overwhelming experiences. Our therapists work with you to explore the underlying issues, build a healthier relationship with your body, and develop new, sustainable coping strategies.
Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care, we help you move toward healing with patience, respect, and hope. Recovery is possible — and you deserve support that honors both your struggle and your strength.
