Andrea Town
Occupational Therapist, MScOT, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Our relationship with our body is shaped by early messages, cultural pressures, and the quiet comparisons we make across a lifetime. In Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I work with adults whose body image concerns show up as preoccupation, shame, avoidance, or an inner voice that is relentlessly critical. Drawing from Gestalt, compassion focused therapy, CBT, and mindfulness, we gently explore where these beliefs took root, soften the harshness, and work toward a relationship with your body that is grounded in respect, kindness, and presence.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Often negative body image and body dysmorphia are rooted in deeper, unresolved concerns such as trauma and/or neurodivergence. Unfortunately, the body often becomes a convenient "punching bag" when we lack the ability to regulate our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour; for some, the body is viewed as something we can control in lieu of having control in other areas of life. In session, we can explore the root cause of your anxiety or shame and work towards improved self-esteem and body neutrality, if not body acceptance. My approach is anti-diet culture and informed by years of research on fat-phobia.

Hypnotherapist
Poor body image or "Body dysmorphic disorder" is a mental health disorder that can cause you to unduly focus on perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. This may be something easily overlooked by others but can trigger such negative feelings inside of you that it can present as social anxiety, embarrassment or shame. Hypnosis can help you overcome these feelings and reach a point of self-acceptance that will allow you to move on with living your life unhindered.

Veronica Lowe
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, CCC
Rather than aiming for "body positivity" immediately—which can sometimes feel out of reach—I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to move toward body neutrality. I help clients use mindfulness to observe critical thoughts without being defined by them and employs self-compassion to quiet the inner critic. By identifying personal values that exist outside of physical appearance, my goal is to empower my clients to treat their bodies with respect and care, reclaiming their energy for the things in life that truly bring them fulfillment.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Body image struggles aren’t vanity—they’re often tied to safety, control, worth, and identity. We’ll work on reducing body-checking, comparison, shame, and food-or-body obsession while strengthening self-compassion and realistic, respectful body care. The aim is to feel more at home in your body, not at war with it.

Erin Ibrahim
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP(Q)
Body image concerns can shape how safe you feel in your own skin, how freely you move through the world, and how harshly you speak to yourself when no one is listening. In Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I work with teens, young adults, and women unpacking the messages they have absorbed about appearance, worth, and belonging. Using ACT, CBT, compassion focused, and non pathologizing approaches, we quiet the critical voice, make sense of where it came from, and rebuild a kinder, more accepting relationship with your body.

I provide compassionate, HAES-aligned body-image counselling that integrates self-compassion training, parts work, and nervous-system regulation. Clients across Durham Region learn to replace shame with respect for the body they inhabit, cultivating sustainable habits and a healthier relationship with food, movement, and mirrors.
