Eating Disorders
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy offers a compassionate and nonjudgmental space to explore the complex emotions and underlying patterns connected to eating disorders. Through creative expression, you can externalize inner conflicts, process feelings around body image, and develop a deeper connection to yourself. Art-making provides a way to express what words cannot, fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. My approach integrates mindfulness, body-based practices, and trauma-informed care to support you in reclaiming a sense of balance, agency, and a more nourishing relationship with yourself.

Eating Disorders
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Eating disorders are often more than struggles with food—they can be expressions of deeper emotional and developmental experiences. I approach these patterns as adaptive responses, where behaviors such as restriction, bingeing, or control serve a purpose in regulating distress or unmet needs. Together, we explore the underlying emotional roots, often shaped by early experiences and environments where feelings were difficult to express. Through building awareness, emotional safety, and self-compassion, the work moves beyond symptom management toward a more integrated and lasting healing.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Shelley brings a rare combination of expertise as a former registered dietitian turned hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy can be supportive for many people with past or present disordered eating patterns. My trauma-informed, non-diet approach helps reduce shame, increase safety, and rebuild trust with your body. In some cases, collaboration with other providers may be recommended.

Eating Disorders
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Admitting that an eating disorder has developed is a very brave and courageous step. By engaging in this first step you are already beginning your recovery process. Many individuals are in denial about their eating disorder and only acknowledge their problematic behaviours once their health is severely impacted. Since the behaviours of an eating disorder are unique across individuals, the treatment plan too, is unique.
In therapy, we largely explore the meaning that you give to the eating disorder, how you developed your relationship with food, and the purpose that the eating disorder served in your life. Once you gain a deeper understanding of the cause of the eating disorder, my hope is that you view yourself through a nonjudgmental lens, which is a crucial step in the healing process.
In order to help you overcome the eating disorder, I also use a variety of therapy models, such as narrative therapy in order to separate the disorder from the person. Once you perceive the issue as separate from the self, you are more likely to activate your self-healing capacities, which is important for experiencing change and growth. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for challenging some of the thoughts that you may have about food. Once you gain insight into your personalized history of the eating disorder, as well as the resources that you have for overcoming dysfunctional eating patterns, you move further into your journey to recovery.

Eating Disorders
Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am here to support you whether you have an eating disorder or you can see there is some unhelpful patterning going on with your relationship with food. I have worked a great deal with the whole spectrum and have seen real success for people through therapy. This includes processing of one's familial history and messaging around food and weight and the impact this has had, skills around managing difficult thoughts and emotions, addressing fears around weight gain/giving up control and getting clear around what is important to you and how your relationship with your food and body may be getting in the way.
