Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Everyone's relationship to their body is uniquely complex. As a Relational Therapist, I'll be curious to understand your personal relationship to your body and what it means to you. This is often shaped by how others have related to our bodies—what is accepted, celebrated, and loved versus judged, devalued, or misunderstood. We're shaped by the ways we've been treated in close relationships, in everyday interactions, and in greater society. Our identities and experiences around things like race, gender, dis/ability, size, and sexuality can all be relevant. Your feelings and practices around your body might also be a way to cope with other anxieties and harms experienced. Together we'll try to understand what's happening for you and explore how you'd like to shift the way you see yourself.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Individuals who struggle with concerns related to Body Image tend to experience significant distress, shame and anxiety over the perceived flaw. Sometimes, people feel trapped in a negative cycle where specific rituals are performed to fix these flaws in their body appearance just to experience a temporary relief. However, the anxiety, the intrusive thoughts, and persistent worries often return, leaving people feeling ashamed and lonely where even little daily activities feel impossible. If this resonates within yourself and your negative view of yourself is bringing you down in a spiral, you may benefit from having a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist to guide you towards having a better relationship with your body. Psychotherapy can help you to identify distorted beliefs about your body and their origins so you can feel empowered to act towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Has worry about your appearance taken over your thoughts and life? Does it feel hard to have a stable sense of self-worth that does not depend on what you look like? I use evidence-based strategies to help you build awareness of what's keeping you stuck fixating on your appearance, renegotiate your relationship with your body and lead a life that fulfills you in the long-term. I integrate elements from cognitive therapy for eating disorders (CBT-E), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and narrative therapy.

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.

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.

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.
