Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Mission, BC.

In my approach to Eating Disorder Counseling, I focus on creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore the complex relationship between food, body image, emotions, and self-worth. Treatment emphasizes both evidence-based strategies and compassionate understanding to help clients challenge harmful thoughts, build healthier coping skills, and foster body acceptance. Clients benefit by learning to reduce shame, improve self-esteem, and develop a more balanced relationship with food and themselves, supporting long-term recovery and emotional well-being.

If you’ve struggled with disordered eating, you are all too familiar with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts and a disconnect from the body. You may also have a constant need for control while at the same time feeling a frightening and exhausting loss of all control. Please know that none of this is your choice, but rather is a state of stress and overwhelm while you do your best to feel better. I have nothing but compassion for the distress that comes with food-related challenges, and you have my commitment to help you care for the difficult underlying emotions involved. Together, we will create a safe space to move towards healing and a safe relationship with food and the body.

Struggles with food, body image, or eating patterns can feel overwhelming and isolating. Eating disorders often develop as ways of coping with deeper emotional pain, stress, or feelings of control. In therapy we work together to understand what is driving these patterns and gently build healthier ways of relating to food, your body, and yourself. Over time, many clients begin to experience greater self-compassion, balance, and freedom from the thoughts and behaviours that once felt controlling.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.

Disordered eating often develops quietly, shaped by stress, trauma, perfectionism, body image concerns, or a need for control during overwhelming times.
