Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I have worked in eating disorders for over 5 years, with experience working specifically in an eating disorders program, supporting children, adolescents, and adults who have been affected by disordered eating.
Your eating disorder is here for a reason. It's up to us to figure out what that is, and how to meet your needs in a way that allows you to nourish your body, and cope with emotions and stressors that have been too difficult to manage.
Having an eating disorder can be such an isolating and exhausting thing to experience. That voice inside your head that's trying to control your relationship with food, movement, and your body gets louder and louder each day, and the emotional distress is just so strong. My work in supporting those with eating disorders focuses first and foremost, on normalizing your relationship with food, and eliminating any associated behaviours (purging, over exercising, weighing, bingeing, etc). My goal is ensuring that your body gets the nourishment it needs, so that we can do the work of talking back to that eating disorder voice, get you to a place where you can have foods you enjoy free of anxiety and guilt, and create a safe and accepting relationship with your body.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Disordered eating can be connected to control, anxiety, trauma, body image, shame, perfectionism, stress, or attempts to cope with overwhelming emotions. Therapy can help you understand the patterns behind food, body, and self-worth concerns while building healthier coping and self-compassion. I provide a non-shaming space to support healing and change.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Eating concerns are rarely just about food—they’re often about control, safety, emotion, and self-worth. Therapy supports recovery by addressing the underlying drivers, strengthening coping alternatives, and reducing shame and secrecy. When needed, we can collaborate with medical and nutrition supports so you’re not carrying this alone.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services

Hypnosis is an excellent complement to any existing medical protocol when dealing with disorders. Working with you in a non-invasive way, it can assist with identifying and resolving some of the emotional reasons behind why this issue is there and what you can do to change it.

Ajax is a lakefront Durham Region town east of Toronto, one of the Greater Toronto Area's most diverse communities, with large Black, South Asian, and Filipino populations and many young families commuting west. Mental health needs centre on commuter and financial strain, newcomer settlement, and youth wellbeing in fast-growing schools. Lakeridge Health provides regional services, and the GTA's large therapy market — plus virtual care — extends access.
