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.

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.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
We are all accosted on a daily basis by marketing, media, and social expectations of what our bodies "should" look like and be able to do. I work with clients to assess where there expectations of their bodies are coming from - including factors that are society like I've mentioned above, and factors that are personal such as family, belief systems, and other experiences that have shaped us. This then allows us to work together to shift perspectives and habits that allow us to instead love our bodies and treat them with respect and care.
