Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Body Image issues often go hand-in-hand with eating disorders and obesity and weight issues. People can judge their body harshly or have a negative relationship with it. Body image issues are often one of the latter topics that get discussed in therapy, because they are often so personal, and in some cases they may even be unknown to the client. There are a significant number of ways to address body image issues, but one that always is effective somewhat is to say to clients "Your body doesn't have a mouth. If it did, what would it say, and how would it say it?" Putting these words to one's body is a great and refreshing start to dealing with these important issues.

Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I specialize in providing compassionate support and evidence-based therapy for individuals struggling with body image concerns. I understand the significant impact that negative body image can have on mental and emotional well-being, and I am dedicated to helping clients cultivate a healthier relationship with their bodies.
In my therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying factors contributing to their body image issues, such as societal pressures, past experiences, and internalized beliefs. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and self-compassion exercises, I help clients challenge negative thoughts and develop a more positive body image.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, express their concerns, and learn to appreciate their bodies for all they can do. Together, we focus on building self-esteem, fostering body acceptance, and promoting overall self-care and well-being.
If you're struggling with body image concerns, know that you're not alone. Contact me today to learn more about how my specialized therapy services can support you on your journey towards body acceptance and self-love.

Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with body image can affect confidence, relationships, and overall well-being. We offer a trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach that helps you connect with your body in a compassionate, empowering way. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we explore the roots of self-criticism, perfectionism, and internalized messages about your body. Together, we work on developing self-compassion, emotional regulation, and a healthier relationship with yourself, addressing both thoughts and the bodily experience of stress, shame, or discomfort. Our sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space to heal, cultivate self-acceptance, and move toward a life where your worth isn’t defined by appearance, but by who you are.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Feeling self-conscious (or downright self-loathing) about one's body shape, size, or appearance is a lonely and exhausting experience. We understand that body image challenges are often pervasive and long-standing and are too often encouraged through the messages that individuals of all genders internalize about how they "should" look or show up in the world. Perhaps you can't imagine this ever changing about yourself, or are hoping only to learn how to cope in ways that allow you to feel less alone in the world. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you to tackle the underlying causes that leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. Whether you are seeking to change your body, or to accept it as it is, our therapists will work to assist you in shifting from self-loathing, worry, and loneliness into places of greater self-compassion and self-understanding, learning to live in your body more comfortably with or without modification. Book now for a free consultation to find a therapist who has the skills to help you feel and be your best.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Therapy is often an effective way to address body image concerns. In therapy, a person may explore all the factors that have contributed to a current mode of relating to self. We can work together to develop awareness of how much of our self-perception can come from negative comments by others as well as explore the impacts of societal and systemic expectations and pressures. I would like to help you identify the roots of low self-esteem and begin a healing process that focuses on building greater self-compassion and self-acceptance.

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.
