Eating Disorders
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are struggling with an eating disorder, food and your body may feel like a constant battle. You might find yourself restricting, bingeing, purging, or obsessing over weight, shape, or control. What may appear to others as discipline or preference can feel internally like anxiety, shame, or a loss of control. Eating disorders are not about vanity. They are often rooted in deeper pain, trauma, perfectionism, or a need for safety and stability.
At Selah Counselling, we approach eating disorders with compassion, structure, and clinical care. We understand the complexity of these patterns and the courage it takes to seek help. Our work focuses on restoring a regulated relationship with food and your body, addressing underlying emotional triggers, and strengthening identity beyond appearance or performance. When appropriate, we collaborate with medical professionals and dietitians to support your overall health. The goal is not simply behaviour change, but healing that allows you to experience nourishment, steadiness, and freedom in a sustainable way.

Masha Andreeva
Art Therapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP(qualifying)
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.
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.
