Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Struggling with body image can affect so much more than how we feel about our appearance. It can influence our confidence, relationships, and sense of self-worth. You may find yourself caught in cycles of comparison, self-criticism, or feeling uncomfortable in your own body. Drawing on my background in eating disorder recovery coaching, I offer a compassionate space to explore your relationship with your body, understand the beliefs and experiences that shape how you feel about yourself, and work toward greater self-acceptance. My hope is to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and at peace with yourself, wherever you are in your journey.

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.

GRIS ALVES
Counsellor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I support clients struggling with body image through a trauma-informed, compassionate approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Body image concerns often reflect deeper emotional and relational experiences, including early conditioning, trauma, or shame. In therapy, we gently explore these patterns while building greater body awareness, self-compassion, and a more respectful, connected relationship with the body.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Feeling self-conscious (or downright self-loathing) about one's body shape, size, or appearance is a lonely and exhausting experience. We understand that body image challenges are often pervasive and long-standing and are too often encouraged through the messages that individuals of all genders internalize about how they "should" look or show up in the world. Perhaps you can't imagine this ever changing about yourself, or are hoping only to learn how to cope in ways that allow you to feel less alone in the world. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you to tackle the underlying causes that leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. Whether you are seeking to change your body, or to accept it as it is, our therapists will work to assist you in shifting from self-loathing, worry, and loneliness into places of greater self-compassion and self-understanding, learning to live in your body more comfortably with or without modification. Book now for a free consultation to find a therapist who has the skills to help you feel and be your best.
