Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Our self-image is shaped by what the world reflected back to us as children. When those early messages were negative, through stress, absence, or abuse, they can create a distorted view of ourselves. I work with clients to explore these patterns and cultivate awareness, self-compassion, and a healthier relationship with their bodies.

Having a good relationship with your body is such a challenge for so many. I know the journey well.
I work with many tools to facilitate a transformation the way a person perceives themselves.
Developing a friendly relationship with your body takes work especially if the messaging in childhood was not healthy.
We dig into the family-culture to fully unpack and understand it. We look at the self doubt, the inner self talk and the habits of self shame. I often will have clients do home exercises in between therapy sessions.
Here is an example... I have found this exercise game changing for me and for many of my clients.
Try an experiment of no longer looking in the mirror at parts of your body that lead you to deeply criticize yourself which then impacts your self esteem in negative ways. Even if you're the most amazing human being in the world, if you engage in a lot of mirror time that's all about self criticism your self-value will no longer be based on your inner value, it'll be all based on that body part that you loathe. Change your mirror time! Do it for a couple months and see how your self esteem changes. This is an experiment that I did that was highly successful and I share this with clients and they have found it very successful in terms of how they now feel about themselves and their self value.. Change your relationship to how you look at yourself in the mirror now!

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.

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.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Body image is a deeply personal aspect of our lives, shaping how we perceive and feel about our physical appearance. It involves our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions about our bodies, and it plays a significant role in our self-esteem and mental well-being. When we have a positive body image, we cultivate feelings of confidence and self-acceptance, which are so vital for our happiness. Conversely, struggling with a negative body image can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and sadness.
It’s important to remember that societal standards of beauty can often distort our perceptions of ourselves. This makes it even more essential to nurture an attitude that celebrates the diversity of body shapes and sizes around us. Practicing self-love, showing gratitude for our bodies, and surrounding ourselves with positive and supportive people can truly help foster a healthier body image. By doing so, we can promote a kinder and more loving relationship with ourselves, reminding us that we are all deserving of compassion and acceptance.
