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.

Poor self esteem and body image are often paired with self worth. Bodies can go through changes throughout our lifetime, learning to accept ourselves as we are, knowing that things do change.

Ahmadreza Zamani
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Body image refers to an individual's perception, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards their own body. It is influenced by various factors including cultural standards, media messages, and personal experiences. A negative body image can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, and can interfere with daily life activities. On the other hand, a positive body image is associated with better mental health and overall well-being.
Body image concerns are common and can affect people of all ages and genders. Psychotherapy can help individuals develop a healthier relationship with their body by addressing negative thoughts and beliefs, exploring their personal experiences, and promoting self-acceptance and self-compassion. If you or a loved one is struggling with body image concerns, a licensed mental health professional can provide support and guidance towards a more positive and healthy relationship with your body.

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."
