Body image concerns can affect how you see yourself, your confidence, your relationship with food, and how comfortable you feel in your own body. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs, experiences, and patterns shaping your self-image while working to reduce comparison, self-criticism, and preoccupation with appearance. The goal is to help you develop a more balanced relationship with your body and build a sense of self-worth that extends beyond appearance.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Individuals who struggle with concerns related to Body Image tend to experience significant distress, shame and anxiety over the perceived flaw. Sometimes, people feel trapped in a negative cycle where specific rituals are performed to fix these flaws in their body appearance just to experience a temporary relief. However, the anxiety, the intrusive thoughts, and persistent worries often return, leaving people feeling ashamed and lonely where even little daily activities feel impossible. If this resonates within yourself and your negative view of yourself is bringing you down in a spiral, you may benefit from having a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist to guide you towards having a better relationship with your body. Psychotherapy can help you to identify distorted beliefs about your body and their origins so you can feel empowered to act towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Body image challenges often live not only in our thoughts, but in how we experience our bodies. They can show up as tension, disconnection, self-criticism, or a sense of not feeling at home in one’s body. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, supporting reconnection with physical sensations, cultivating self-compassion, and fostering a more grounded, accepting, and respectful relationship with the body.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Body image concerns can affect self-esteem, confidence, mental health, and the way individuals relate to food, exercise, and their own sense of identity. Struggles with body image may be influenced by personal experiences, trauma, social media, cultural pressures, or past messages about appearance. Therapy offers a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore these influences, challenge negative self-perceptions, and develop a more balanced, compassionate, and respectful relationship with your body.

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.
