Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The way we think and feel about our body can impact our sense of confidence and self-worth. It can feel almost impossible to improve our body image, especially if we are often faced with others’ expectations. Therapy can provide a supportive space where we can begin to explore the factors that influence our body image and ways to move towards self-acceptance and kindness. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with body image can affect how you move through the world — how you eat, dress, connect, and even how you speak to yourself. You may feel caught between wanting to accept your body and the pressure to change it. In therapy, we’ll explore your relationship with your body with gentleness and curiosity, uncovering the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. Grounded in a body-positive and self-compassionate approach, our work focuses on helping you build respect, trust, and appreciation for your body — not as something to fix, but as something to come home to.

Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples strengthen their self-esteem and develop a more confident, compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how they see themselves.
My work focuses on increasing self-awareness, challenging self-critical thought patterns, and building a stronger sense of personal worth and identity. I help clients cultivate healthier communication, set boundaries with confidence, and approach parenting and relationships from a place of security rather than self-doubt. I also support clients in healing from past experiences that may have impacted their sense of value and in releasing coping patterns rooted in shame or fear.
My goal is to help clients live with greater authenticity, self-respect, and resilience—creating lives grounded in confidence, meaningful connection, and a deep sense of self-worth.

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.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
If you find yourself struggling with how you feel about your body, please know that you are not alone. Body dissatisfaction can be incredibly challenging, impacting how you see yourself and how you interact with the world around you. It can affect your self-esteem, make you feel less confident, and even influence your social life, sometimes leading to avoiding social situations due to concerns about your appearance. While it was once thought that only certain groups of people experienced these feelings, we now understand that body image concerns can affect individuals of all ages and genders.
You might be experiencing body image preoccupation if you are constantly aware of your body in a negative way, frequently compare your appearance to others, spend a significant amount of time trying to find clothes that you feel comfortable in, often weigh yourself or check your body in the mirror, or find yourself withdrawing from social activities. These are all signs of the distress and worry that can come with negative body image.
Fortunately, there are effective ways to address and improve your relationship with your body. At our practice, we utilize approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy, which have been shown to be helpful in reconstructing body image. Our approach is inclusive and trauma-informed, meaning we recognize that everyone's experience is unique and that past experiences can play a significant role in how you feel about your body. We firmly believe that every body is perfect in its own way, and we are here to help you identify and challenge the negative thoughts that contribute to body dissatisfaction.
If body image preoccupation has been a long-standing struggle for you, we encourage you to take the first step towards a more positive relationship with your body. We offer a free consultation where we can discuss your specific concerns and explore how our services can support you. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a time to talk; we would be glad to help.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with body image, you may find yourself constantly criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, or feeling that your worth rises and falls with the number on a scale or how you look in the mirror. These thoughts can quietly shape your confidence, your relationships, and even the way you show up in the world.
At Selah Counselling, we approach body image with compassion and depth. We recognize that body dissatisfaction is often rooted in deeper experiences, cultural pressures, attachment wounds, and nervous system stress. Together, we explore the beliefs you have internalized about your body and gently challenge the shame that may have attached to it. Our work focuses on building self-compassion, strengthening identity beyond appearance, and helping you develop a more respectful and regulated relationship with your body. The goal is not perfection. It is freedom, steadiness, and a sense of worth that is not dependent on how you look.
