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.

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.

Masha Andreeva
Art Therapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP(qualifying)
Art therapy offers a powerful way to explore and shift your relationship with your body in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. Through creative expression, you can externalize internalized beliefs, process emotions, and reconnect with your body from a place of curiosity rather than criticism. Using symbols, movement, and imagery, we can explore the narratives you hold about your body and gently reshape them toward self-acceptance and appreciation. My approach integrates mindfulness and body-based practices, allowing you to cultivate a deeper sense of connection, trust, and respect for yourself.
20 Years Experience
Online in Halifax, NS Nova Scotia (Online Only)
Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
