Lauren Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable to share your concerns. Body-image concerns and body-dysmorphia can be quite distressing and you're not alone. Your needs are important to me, and together we can explore those concerns, better understand the influences that have played a role in your experiences, and discover therapeutic goals and strategies that genuinely resonate with you.

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Body Image issues often go hand-in-hand with eating disorders and obesity and weight issues. People can judge their body harshly or have a negative relationship with it. Body image issues are often one of the latter topics that get discussed in therapy, because they are often so personal, and in some cases they may even be unknown to the client. There are a significant number of ways to address body image issues, but one that always is effective somewhat is to say to clients "Your body doesn't have a mouth. If it did, what would it say, and how would it say it?" Putting these words to one's body is a great and refreshing start to dealing with these important issues.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you have a part of you that consistently checks if you're acceptable in the eyes of others? Learning what this part of you is trying to do for you can often support this part of you to ease up with it's hold on you. There is often a benefit of the IFS (internal family systems) approach for healing from the profound impact of body image and self-esteem issues.

Nisrine Maktabi
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Psychology
So many messages tell us how our bodies and faces should look to be accepted, valued, validated, and fit in. In fact our bodies and faces are beautiful and work so hard to help us function and experience the world. Together we will discover the messages received that have lead to feeling disconnected from your true self, and reclaim it and honour it.

Morgan Mackenzie
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in supporting individuals grappling with body image concerns. Our relationship with our bodies is complex and deeply intertwined with self-esteem, societal expectations, and personal experiences. I am passionate about fostering a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore and challenge negative perceptions of their bodies. Through a combination of empathetic listening, body-positive interventions, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, I help clients develop a more compassionate and accepting relationship with their bodies. Whether addressing body dysmorphia, weight-related concerns, or societal pressures, I strive to empower individuals to embrace their unique identities and cultivate a positive sense of self. Together, we work towards building resilience, fostering self-acceptance, and promoting a healthier body image that aligns with each client's authentic and individual journey.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Positive body image has nothing to do with how you look, it’s about accepting your body as is, not trying to change it, not forcing it to be thinner or fitter before you can like it and treating yourself well no matter what. “You are not your body”
