Body Image & Eating Concerns

Difficulties involving food and body image can affect people of every age, gender and body type. You do not need to meet the criteria for an eating-disorder diagnosis before asking for support.  

You may be looking for therapy if you experience:

•    Persistent dissatisfaction with your body     •    Guilt or anxiety connected to eating

•    Restrictive or rigid eating patterns

•    Emotional eating or episodes of feeling out of control

•    Constant thoughts about food, weight or appearance

•    Avoiding social situations involving food     •    Frequent body checking or comparison

•    Low self-esteem connected to appearance

•    Difficulty adjusting to body changes

•    Perfectionism and a need for control

•    Eating concerns during pregnancy, postpartum or menopause

•    Challenges maintaining recovery from an eating disorder

Our therapists provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support. Therapy may explore the emotional, cognitive, social and relational factors affecting your relationship with food and your body.  

Treatment may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, self-compassion, emotional-regulation strategies and trauma-informed care. Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) Psychotherapy may be one part of treatment. Eating disorders can carry serious medical risks and may require care from a physician, dietitian or specialized eating-disorder program. We will discuss additional support or referrals when necessary.
