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
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.

Eating Disorders
Melissa Kaylee De Pace
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), CNP, M.A
Eating disorders are complex, which is why I take an integrative approach that looks beyond food and eating behaviours alone. With a background in psychotherapy, nutrition, and holistic wellness, I consider the relationship between food, body image, self-worth, perfectionism, anxiety, emotional regulation, physical well-being, and the nervous system. Together, we explore not only what is happening around food, but what those patterns may be protecting you from, helping you cope with, or communicating about what you need.
Our work combines deeper psychological exploration with practical support, helping you challenge rigid beliefs, understand emotional and relational patterns, reconnect with your body, and build greater trust in yourself. The goal isn’t another set of rules to follow perfectly, it’s to help food and body image take up less space, while creating more room for flexibility, connection, self-worth, and a life that feels like your own.
