Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Body image concerns can show up in many ways, including difficulty feeling connected to or accurately perceiving your body, frequent comparisons to others, body dissatisfaction, and patterns of disordered eating or appearance-focused distress. These experiences are often shaped over time by personal history, relationships, and broader cultural and societal messages about beauty, worth, and identity.
In our work together, we’ll explore where your beliefs about your body come from and how they continue to impact the way you relate to yourself today. Through this process, we can gently begin to challenge internalized negative beliefs and support the development of a more compassionate and aligned relationship with your body and food.
I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach and draw from ACT, Adlerian Therapy, IFS, DBT, EMDR and somatic therapy to support both emotional and belief reprocessing and nervous system regulation. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-compassion, body acceptance, and a more balanced way of relating to 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 learn more about my approach.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with body image issues, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

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.
