Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Often negative body image and body dysmorphia are rooted in deeper, unresolved concerns such as trauma and/or neurodivergence. Unfortunately, the body often becomes a convenient "punching bag" when we lack the ability to regulate our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour; for some, the body is viewed as something we can control in lieu of having control in other areas of life. In session, we can explore the root cause of your anxiety or shame and work towards improved self-esteem and body neutrality, if not body acceptance. My approach is anti-diet culture and informed by years of research on fat-phobia.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Body image concerns can stem from various external influences, all of which shape our self-perception and self-esteem. Through self-reflection, we can work together to explore how past experiences have contributed to your current thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about your body, and identify what may be perpetuating these perceptions. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

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.

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.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Body image can be characterized by thoughts and feelings that you have about your body. This image can impact how you view your self-worth and the perception about the value you have in the world. It can also cause a mix of emotions, including feelings of shame and anxiety. By exploring your current narrative, we can begin the process of reframing your experience through a combination of CBT and Narrative therapy.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
