Eating Disorders
Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
Emotional Eating & Weight Loss Do you want to lose weight, tone up, and increase your muscle mass, along with learning how to manage your emotional eating? Not knowing how to cope with our feelings we often do something that feels good like having a delicious snack. Food provides a source of soothing, comforting, nurturing, and distraction from whatever problem exists. So, it serves as an escape . As a counsellor I can help you deal with these issues as opposed to avoiding them.
As we become flooded with neurotransmitters, due to eating down our feelings, a sense of euphoria results and craving for more is stimulated, along with our need to continue to maintain those unhealthy habits. In addition to teaching clients the HALT method for overcoming emotional eating, as a counsellor who is well versed in fitness, and healthy eating, I would be pleased to guide and support you in developing your own personal plan to achieve your weight loss and fitness goals.

Eating Disorders
Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I view eating disorders as a response to deep, unresolved concerns such as childhood trauma and/or attachment trauma. They also tend to co-occur with neurodivergence. I primarily support folks who are navigating binge eating disorder and bulimia. In session I will support you through skills work in addition to processing the traumatic events or loss of control that has lead you to become hyper-vigilant about what you eat or what you look like. I provide patient, compassionate care and am happy to offer personal insight from my own experience with ED recovery.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy offers a compassionate and nonjudgmental space to explore the complex emotions and underlying patterns connected to eating disorders. Through creative expression, you can externalize inner conflicts, process feelings around body image, and develop a deeper connection to yourself. Art-making provides a way to express what words cannot, fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. My approach integrates mindfulness, body-based practices, and trauma-informed care to support you in reclaiming a sense of balance, agency, and a more nourishing relationship with yourself.

For many years working both at the university and in a practice in Edinburgh, UK, I have specialised in helping women and men overcome eating distress and concerns, getting to the bottom of what may be triggering this relationship with food.
12 Years Experience

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.
