Shannon Wylie
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I am currently accepting new clients. No waitlist! Evening sessions available for in-person or online sessions.
Having worked as a Registered Social Worker for over 12 years, I have established an approach to working with clients that leaves them feeling heard and supported. Together we create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Every client's journey is unique. My role is to support you in this process by being a neutral, non-judgemental resource.
Please feel free to explore my website for more information or to book a free 20 minute consultation.
I would love to hear from you!

Earlyn Sharpe
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed, MHCP, NLP, ND
Body image concerns can significantly impact mental health and overall well-being. As a counsellor and coach, I specialize in supporting individuals who struggle with body image issues, including body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and low self-esteem related to appearance.
Together, we explore underlying beliefs and emotions surrounding body image, challenge negative self-talk, and develop healthier perspectives towards oneself and one's body.
My approach emphasizes self-compassion, acceptance, and empowerment, helping clients cultivate a more positive relationship with their bodies and foster greater self-confidence and self-worth. Through compassionate and personalized therapy, I aim to assist individuals in embracing their unique selves and achieving greater peace and contentment with their bodies.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
I have borrowed Andrew Seuber's approach to working with a negative body image, that is from the inside out.
He suggests that "The negative image is understood as a dissociated and shame-based “part” of the personality in need of understanding and compassion, achieved via mindful awareness, “parts” dialogue and trauma processing.
The first step is to create healthy separation between the "observing" or aware Self and the part(s) absorbed in the eating disorder via mindful awareness.
Once this separation between the "whole" self and part of self is established, the Gestalt polarity tradition (empty chairs) is utilized to develop understanding of the shame-based part.
Understanding leads to compassion for the eating disordered part from a non-enmeshed state of consciousness, aka the aware self, the experiencing self, the observing self.
Healing of the eating disordered part occurs when that part no longer feels exiled as a "not-I" and is assisted in processing the traumatic roots of the disorder."
