Franklynn Bartol
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.

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.

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.

We offer a trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach that helps you connect with your body in a compassionate, empowering way.

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.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
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!

Ekta Abhay Lather
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.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
