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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with body image, you may find yourself constantly criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, or feeling that your worth rises and falls with the number on a scale or how you look in the mirror. These thoughts can quietly shape your confidence, your relationships, and even the way you show up in the world.
At Selah Counselling, we approach body image with compassion and depth. We recognize that body dissatisfaction is often rooted in deeper experiences, cultural pressures, attachment wounds, and nervous system stress. Together, we explore the beliefs you have internalized about your body and gently challenge the shame that may have attached to it. Our work focuses on building self-compassion, strengthening identity beyond appearance, and helping you develop a more respectful and regulated relationship with your body. The goal is not perfection. It is freedom, steadiness, and a sense of worth that is not dependent on how you look.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
My approach to body image work is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in curiosity rather than criticism. I help clients explore how their relationship with their body has been shaped by early experiences, cultural messaging, attachment patterns, and life transitions. Rather than focusing on fixing appearance, we focus on healing the relationship with the body — increasing self-trust, reducing shame, and cultivating respect for the body as it is. I integrate evidence-based practices with nervous system awareness and self-compassion to support clients in moving from self-judgment toward embodiment, resilience, and acceptance.
