Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
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.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Struggles with body image are rarely about how you look; they are about how safe and connected you feel while living inside a body that is constantly subjected to societal scrutiny, ableism, and conditioning. Serving clients online throughout British Columbia, I integrate creative art therapy and somatic exploration to help you transition from critical external self-judgment to a compassionate internal experience. We will work slowly to foster an embodied self-acceptance that feels real, safe, and entirely your own.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you cultivate a kinder, more accepting relationship with your body through an integrative, client-centered approach. We’ll use mindfulness-based techniques to develop non-judgmental awareness, CBT to challenge unhelpful body-image beliefs, and acceptance and commitment approaches to reconnect with values beyond appearance. Parts work helps soothe critical inner voices, emotion-focused methods allow you to process underlying feelings, and spiritual/existential approaches can foster a deep sense of embodiment and self-compassion. Together, we’ll build practical tools and inner resilience so you can embrace your body with confidence and care.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
When you’re caught in a cycle of self-criticism and comparison, it can feel impossible to feel at home in your own skin. Body image struggles are about more than appearance—they touch self-worth, identity, and how you move through the world. In therapy, we’ll work on quieting the inner critic, building self-compassion, and shifting focus from appearance to overall well-being. You deserve to feel confident, at peace, and free to live fully as yourself.

Michael Sa'd - Toronto Talk Therapy
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, CFST, MBA
Struggles with body image can deeply affect self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental health. My approach to addressing body image concerns focuses on fostering self-compassion and challenging societal and internalized standards of perfection. Through evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-acceptance strategies, I help clients explore the roots of their body image concerns and develop a more positive and empowering relationship with their bodies. Together, we work toward building confidence, promoting self-worth beyond appearance, and cultivating a healthier and more balanced perspective on self-image.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Therapy is often an effective way to address body image concerns. In therapy, a person may explore all the factors that have contributed to a current mode of relating to self. We can work together to develop awareness of how much of our self-perception can come from negative comments by others as well as explore the impacts of societal and systemic expectations and pressures. I would like to help you identify the roots of low self-esteem and begin a healing process that focuses on building greater self-compassion and self-acceptance.
